Who can join

Age: 45 and older, up to 80. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Age 45 to 80 years old, inclusive
• Clinical diagnosis of osteoarthritis in one target knee based on the following American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria:
• Knee Pain
• At least 1 of 3:
• Age > 50 years
• Morning stiffness lasting < 30 minutes
• Crepitus on motion
• Osteophytes on radiograph
• Symptoms associated with osteoarthritis of the knee (including pain) for ≥ 6 months prior to Screening
• Knee pain associated with osteoarthritis, which required NSAID or other therapy for ≥ 15 days during the preceding month
• Radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis by Kellgren-Lawrence classification with a rating of Grade 2 or 3 in the target knee (does not include borderline Grade 2), as confirmed by the Sponsor's designated rheumatologist through radiographic review of x-ray(s) taken no more than 1 year prior to the Screening visit. (Sharpening of the tibial spine is not considered to be an osteophyte) (See Appendix 4 for additional details)
• Meets pain assessment entry criteria as defined by Sponsor's pain eligibility algorithm and calculated by the study Interactive Web Response System
• No clinically significant change in physical activity and/or therapy for the past 3 months
• Able to provide written informed consent prior to initiation of any clinical trial-related procedures; and willing and able, in the opinion of the Investigator, to comply with all requirements of the clinical trial for the duration of the trial (such requirements include, but are not limited to: attending all study visits, refraining from elective surgery or extensive travel during participation)

You may not qualify if…

• General
• Women of childbearing potential, or men whose sexual partner(s) is a woman of childbearing potential may not be entered into the study if:
• They are or intend to become pregnant (including use of fertility drugs) during the study
• They are nursing
• They are not using an acceptable, highly effective method of contraception until all follow-up procedures are complete. (Acceptable, highly effective forms of contraception are defined as: oral contraception, intrauterine device, systemic [injectable or patch] contraception, double barrier methods, naturally or surgically sterile, strict abstinence or partner has been sterilized. If hormonal-based birth control is being used, subject or subject's sexual partner(s) must be on a stable-dose for ≥ 3 months prior to the Baseline visit and maintained at the same dosing level throughout the 9-week clinical trial.)
• Body Mass Index (BMI) over 40
• A history of osteoarthritis symptoms that are completely non-responsive to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) at the discretion of the Investigator
• Planned change (increase or decrease) in subject's level of physical activity (e.g., aerobic or anaerobic exercise) during the 6-week Treatment Period following randomization
• Enrollment in any trial and/or use of any Investigational Drug or device within the immediate 30-day period prior to the Baseline visit
• Enrollment in any study previously sponsored by Olatec Industries LLC, specifically Study OLT1177-01 or OLT1177-02
• Pain Related
• Does not meet pain assessment entry criteria as defined by Sponsor's pain eligibility algorithm and calculated by the study Interactive Web Response System
• Clinically significant joint (other than the knee) or general pain at Baseline, at the discretion of the Investigator
• Musculoskeletal Related
• Clinically significant, excessive effusion heat and/or redness in the target knee as determined by the Investigator
• Knock-kneed or bow-legged, as defined by a valgus or varus deformity of ≥ 15 degrees
• Radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis by Kellgren-Lawrence classification with a rating of Grade 0, 1 or 4 in the target knee, as confirmed by the Sponsor's designated rheumatologist through radiographic review of x-ray(s) taken no more than 1 year prior to the Screening visit (sharpening of the tibial spine is not considered to be an osteophyte)
• Documented history of clinically significant pain associated with osteoarthritis of the spine or hips, at the discretion of the Investigator
• Significant anterior knee pain due to diagnosed isolated patella-femoral syndrome or chondromalacia
• Clinically significant medio-lateral and/or anterior-posterior instability, at the discretion of the Investigator
• Open surgery of the target knee within the prior year or surgery to the contralateral knee or other weight-bearing joint within the prior year, if at the discretion of the Investigator it would interfere with the study. If subject had open surgery more than one-year prior, Sponsor's designated rheumatologist must confirm that such surgery did not have any negative impact or consequence to the target knee (e.g., deformity of angle to the bone, bone on bone, locking joints, etc.)
• Arthroscopic surgery of the target knee within the prior six months
• Any acute or chronic injury, other than osteoarthritis in the target knee, that will be treated during the trial with any medication not allowed during the Treatment Period
• Prior surgery of the target knee requiring insertion of a medical device or surgical hardware (e.g., screws)
• Any major trauma or injury (including sports injuries) to the target knee in the past 12 months
