Efficacy of ThermoProfen in Patients With Mild to Moderate Pain Associated With Osteoarthritis of the Knee - Full Text View

Purpose

ThermoProfen is a transdermal ketoprofen patch that is integrated with a long-lasting CHADD (Controlled Heat-Assisted Drug Delivery) unit for the treatment of chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis. This study will evaluate ThermoProfen for the treatment of mild to moderate pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee in adults.

Primary Outcome Measures:

The primary outcome measure is the change from baseline in the Visual Analog Scale score for the average pain during the previous 24 hours. [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Change from baseline in Visual Analog Scale score for worst pain during the previous 24 hours, amount of rescue medication used to treat the target joint per day, and the patient global impression of change in the Likert Scale [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Thermoprofen ThermoProfen™ (ketoprofen matrix/Controlled Heat Assisted Drug Delivery [CHADD™] patch)	Drug: ThermoProfen™ (Matrix Transdermal Ketoprofen/CHADD™ System) Transdermal patch applied to the knee for 12 hours daily. Other Name: Matrix Transdermal Ketoprofen CHADD System
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Matrix Placebo matrix with CHADD patch.	Drug: Placebo Matrix/CHADD Patch Transdermal patch applied to the knee for 12 hours daily. Other Name: Placebo patch with heating system
Placebo Comparator: Ketoprofen matrix/placebo CHADD Ketoprofen matrix with placebo CHADD patch (no heat)	Drug: Ketoprofen matrix/placebo CHADD Patch Transdermal knee applied to the knee for 12 hours daily. Other Name: ketoprofen matrix with no heat

Detailed Description:

The primary objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of ThermoProfen™ against two other experimental treatments.

The treatment may be ThermoProfen (Matrix Transdermal Ketoprofen Patch) or a patch that may or may not include ketoprofen and that may or may not provide heat.
