ArtiAid® for Knee Osteoarthritis: A Post-market Study

Maxigen Biotech Inc.59 enrolled

Overview

The goal of this open-label, post-market clinical follow-up study is to demonstrate the safety and performance of ArtiAid® Intra-articular Injection in patients with knee osteoarthritis(OA). The main questions it aims to answer are: * the safety profile of ArtiAid®; * the clinical performance of ArtiAid®, such as pain relief and satisfaction of treatment. Participants will receive weekly injections of ArtiAid® for 5 weeks and be follow-up for 26 weeks.

An open-label study will be performed in single center to monitor about 60 patients with knee osteoarthritis(OA), each treated with 5 injections of ArtiAid® 1.0% (MAXIGEN BIOTECH INC., Taiwan). Follow-up visits will be at 4 weeks, 12 weeks(a telephone contact by the investigator) and 26 weeks after the injections. The primary endpoint of this study is to monitor the adverse events after injecting ArtiAid®. The secondary endpoints of this study are demonstrating the clinical performance of ArtiAid®, such as resting knee pain and satisfaction of treatment by using the visual analog scale (VAS). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be applied to the clinical data and t-test will be used to test for the differences between baseline and each visit. The paired student t-test was used to analyze variations in each group over a period of time. Statistical significance was established at p \< 0.05.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Incidence of Treatment-related Adverse Events

The adverse events are defined as any unfavorable sign occurrence in a subject after treatment. The investigator assesses the severity and the relationship of each event to the use of the study device.

Time frame: 0 week to 26 weeks after injections

Secondary Outcomes

Resting knee pain: VAS (visual analog scale)

Current level of resting knee pain will be assessed by a patient-reported VAS (visual analog scale), subjects mark on a 0-100 mm line, where 0 represent "no pain" and 100 represents "maximum pain". The VAS pain score will be assessed at baseline 4 weeks and 26 weeks after injections.

Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, and 26 weeks after injections

Satisfaction of treatment: VAS (visual analog scale)

The satisfaction of treatment will be assessed by a patient-reported VAS (visual analog scale), subjects mark on a 0-100 mm line, where 0 represent "least satisfied" and 100 represents "highest satisfaction". The VAS pain score will be assessed at 4 weeks and 26 weeks after injections.

Time frame: 4 weeks, and 26 weeks after injections
