Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Major injury to the index knee within the last 12 months 10. Severe hip osteoarthritis ipsilateral to the index knee 11. Any pain that could interfere with the assessment of study knee pain (e.g. pain in any other part of the lower extremities, pain radiating to the knee) 12.

NCT03349645
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Patients enrolled in AP-003-C Main Study will be offered the option to roll-over to the open label extension study at the final visit of the Main Study (Week 12). Approximately 171 subjects with knee pain due to severe osteoarthritis of the knee (KL IV) may enroll in the 40-week OLE study. The OLE Study allows for a 60-day screening window from Week 12 of the Main Study for enrollment in the Extension study. Extension study visits will include 9 visits: Week 12 in-office visit (Day 84± 60 days), a 24-hour post-injection follow-up call, Week 24 in-office visit (Day 168 ± 7 days), a 24-hour, post-injection follow-up call, Week 36 in-office visit (Day 252 ± 7 days), a 24-hour, post-injection follow-up call, Week 48 in-office visit (Day 336 ± 7 days ), a 24-hour, post-injection follow-up call, and a Week 52 final visit (Day 364 ± 7 days ).
