PHASE2

Brief Summary

The study was established to show safety and efficacy of canakinumab and LNA043 in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).

Detailed Description

This was a non-confirmatory, randomized, four arm, placebo-controlled, participant-, investigator and sponsor-blinded study in participants with symptomatic knee OA with synovial inflammation.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Moderate to severe OA pain (corresponding to NRS Pain ≥5 to ≤9) in the target knee for the majority of days in the last 3 months prior to Screening
  • KOOS pain subscale \<60 for the target knee during Screening
  • High sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hsCRP) ≥1.8 mg/L
  • Radiographic KL grade 2 to 4 knee OA and joint space width (JSW) 2.0-4.0 mm (men) or 1.5-3.5 mm (women) in the medial tibiofemoral compartment (TFC) in the target knee
  • Contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI) diagnosed moderate or severe knee synovitis based on an established synovititis scoring system (moderate score 9-12 or severe score ≥13)

Exclusion

  • History of, or planned; knee replacement (partial or total) in either knee; arthroscopy or lavage in either knee within 6 months prior to screening; any other previous surgical intervention in the target knee, or for the contralateral knee within 12 months prior to Screening, including mosaicplasty, microfracture, meniscectomy \>50% or osteotomy
  • Moderate to severe pain in the contralateral knee for the majority of days in the last 3 months prior to screening
  • Malalignment \>7.5° in the target knee (either varus or valgus)
  • Any diagnosis of systemic inflammatory arthritis or connective tissue disease, including but not limited to rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, Paget's disease, systemic lupus erythematosus) or other systemic condition that might confound assessment of OA (e.g. fibromyalgia)
  • Ipsilateral hip OA or hip prosthesis recently implanted (within 1 year prior to screening) or hip replacement on either side planned within the study period
