A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blinded, Parallel-Group, Placebo-Controlled Phase I/IIa Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of a Single Intra-Articular Injection of YYD302 in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis

This study was a phase I/IIa, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, parallel, placebo-controlled clinical trial that aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of a single intra-articular injection of YYD302, a novel high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid with divinyl sulfone cross-linking. Thirty ad...

Sumario:This study was a phase I/IIa, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, parallel, placebo-controlled clinical trial that aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of a single intra-articular injection of YYD302, a novel high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid with divinyl sulfone cross-linking. Thirty adults with knee osteoarthritis were randomized to receive a single 2 mL intra-articular injection of YYD302 (test group 1), 3 mL of YYD302 (test group 2), or 3 mL of the placebo (placebo group). We compared the changes from the baseline in the weight-bearing pain of 100 mm using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), the Rheumatology-Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OMERACT-OASRSI) responder rates, and the use of rescue analgesics to assess the safety of this novel drug. A total of 26 subjects (10 in test group 1, 10 in test group 2, and 6 in the placebo group) were included in the full analysis set. At 12 weeks, only test groups 1 and 2 showed significant changes in the weight-bearing pain VAS scores (p = 0.0015 and p = 0.0085), symptoms, and average daily KOOS values compared to the baseline (p < 0.001, p = 0.0124, and p = 0.0018, p = 0.0426, respectively). While the rate and frequency of consuming the rescue drug continued to increase in the placebo group until 12 weeks, there was no change in the test groups. Our findings showed that YYD302, especially 2 mL of YYD302, reduced pain and improved knee joint function compared to the placebo.
