53-Week Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Intra-articular (IA) Injections of TPX-100 vs Placebo in Subjects with Mild to Severe Tibio-Femoral Osteoarthritis of the Knee
This multicenter, double-blind, placebo controlled, randomized study is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of TPX-100 administered in 4 weekly doses of 200 mg per dose in subjects with tibio-femoral osteoarthritis. The B-score as determined by MRI analysis is the final inclusion criteria, which will be determined by MRI-based assessment. A standardized screening MRI will be obtained on otherwise eligible candidates. For enrolled subjects, the Screening MRI will serve as the Baseline MRI. Enrolled subjects will be assigned randomly to receive either TPX-100 or PBS placebo, 4 weekly IA injections administered into the target knee by fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance. Subjects will undergo follow-up knee MRIs at Week 27 and Week 53 after the first injection. All MRIs will be read by computer-based, standardized methods, blind to treatment assignment and temporal sequence, to provide the imaging outcome measures. Subjects will complete PROs at Week 1 (Baseline), Week 27 and Week 53. A clinical safety evaluation will be performed at Week 13, and a safety tele-visit or telephone call will be performed at Week 36. Adverse events, regardless of causation, and concomitant medications will be documented at all study visits and at the Week 37 tele-visit/telephone call. Clinical laboratory assessments will be obtained at Screening, Baseline (Week 1), and Weeks 2, 3, 4; and at the in-person follow up visits. All enrolled subjects will be assigned randomly to receive either TPX-100 or PBS placebo, in 4 weekly IA injections administered into the target knee by fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance.

TPX-100 (200 mg per dose) will be administered once-weekly (Week 1, 2, 3 \& 4) to a single target knee of the subject for 4 injections. TPX-100 can be administered by conventional methods such as subcutaneous or intra-articular injection.
PBS / placebo for intra-articular injection administered once-weekly (Week 1, 2, 3 and 4) to a single target knee of the subject for 4 injections
Toxicity Reaction (CTC 5.0 standard)
CTC 5.0, also known as Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse/Serious Adverse Events version 5.0, is an extensively used classification system for assessing drug toxicity. This system categorizes drug toxicity into five levels: Grade 0, Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, and Grade 4.
Time frame: Baseline to Study Week 27 and Study Week 53
Change in Physical Function & Pain of the Target Knee
The Western Ontario and MacMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC®) evaluation scales will be utilized to evaluate patient progression or benefit. WOMAC® is widely used in the evaluation of Knee Osteoarthritis. It is a patient self-administered questionnaire consisting of 24 items divided into 3 subscales: * Pain (5 items): during walking, using stairs, in bed, sitting or lying, and standing upright * Stiffness (2 items): after first waking and later in the day * Physical Function (17 items): using stairs, rising from sitting, standing, bending, walking, getting in / out of a car, shopping, putting on / taking off socks, rising from bed, lying in bed, getting in / out of bath, sitting, getting on / off toilet, heavy domestic duties, light domestic duties
Time frame: Baseline to Study Week 27 and Study Week 53
Change in MRI-based femoral B-score which ranges from -2 to +7, with higher scores indicating greater severity
To evaluate structural changes in subchondral bone in IA TPX-100-treated versus IA placebo-exposed knees.
Time frame: Baseline to Study Week 27 and Study Week 53
To evaluate Pain Frequency in the Target Knee by KOOS evaluation of question 1 which ranges from 0 (Never) - 4 (Always).
Evaluation of the frequency of pain in the target knee will be evaluated by the KOOS pain scale in which question 1 will be evaluated. Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) is an extension of the WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index with the purpose of evaluating short-term and long-term symptoms and function in subjects with knee injury and osteoarthritis. The KOOS holds five separately scored subscales: Pain, other Symptoms, Function in daily living (ADL), Function in Sport and Recreation (Sport/Rec), and knee-related Quality of Life (QOL)
