Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of a second course of TPX-100 administered by intra-articular injection to subjects with osteoarthritis of the knee who participated in study TPX-100-1.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Knee Osteoarthritis | Drug: TPX-100 200 mg 4 times weekly for 4 weeks | Phase 2 |
Recruit up to 70 subjects whom participated in protocol TPX-100-1. The opposing knee that was treated will be getting 200mg in 4 weekly injections. The knee that was treated in TPX-100-1 will get randomized to either 200mg dose or a placebo lookalike. The investigators will follow these subjects for 6 months. Two MRIs of bi-lateral knees will be assessed. Also collection of ADA samples at 4 time points through the 6 month period.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0. evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of a second course of TPX-100 who participated in study TPX-100-1 [ Time Frame: Follow subjects for 6 months ]Safety, Tolerability and primary efficacy
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Change in patellar cartilage thickness in each knee as measured on standardized MRI from baseline to 6 months. [ Time Frame: Follow subjects for 6 months ]Longitudinal changes in Patellar compartment cartilage thickness/thinness

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Previous enrollment in study TPX-100-1
- Cruciate and collateral ligament stability as defined by clinical examination
- Able to read, understand, sign and date the subject informed consent
- Willingness to use only acetaminophen as the primary analgesic (pain-relieving) study medication during the injection period and through study day 30. The maximum dose of acetaminophen must not exceed 2 grams/day (2000 mg per day).
- Willingness to use only hydrocodone or hydrocodone/acetaminophen (e.g. Norco) for breakthrough pain through study day 30.
- Willingness not to use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen through study day 30.
- Female subjects of child bearing potential who are sexually active (non-abstinent) must agree to and comply with using 2 highly effective methods of birth control (oral contraceptive, implant, injectable or indwelling intrauterine device, condom with spermicide, or sexual abstinence) while participating in the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- "Possibly, probably or definitely" drug-related SAEs in TPX-100-1; severe or ongoing "possibly, probably or definitely" related AEs in TPX-100-1.
- Contraindication to MRI, including: metallic fragments, clips or devices in the brain, eye, or spinal canal; implanted devices that are magnetically programmed; weight > 300 lbs.; moderate or severe claustrophobia; previous intolerance of MRI procedure
- Prior surgery in the knees, excluding procedures for debridement only (no previous microfracture procedure)
- Joint replacement or any other knee surgery planned in the next 12 months
- History of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or any other autoimmune or infectious cause for arthritis
-
Knee effusion > 2+ on the following clinical scale:
- Zero = No wave produced on downstroke
- Trace = Small wave on medial side with downstroke
- 1+ = Larger bulge on medial side with downstroke
- 2+ = Effusion spontaneously returns to medial side after upstroke (no downstroke necessary)
- 3+ = So much fluid that it is not possible to move the effusion out of the medial aspect of the knee screening
- Last viscosupplementation (e.g. Synvisc® or similar hyaluronic acid product) injected into either knee < 3 months before screening
- Last intra-articular knee injection of corticosteroids < 2 months before screening
- Use of any steroids (except inhaled corticosteroids for respiratory problems) during the previous month before screening
- Known hypersensitivity to TPX-100
- Known hypersensitivity to acetaminophen or hydrocodone
- History of arthroscopy in either knee in the last 3 months before screening
- History of septic arthritis, gout or pseudo-gout, of either knee in previous year before screening
- Clinical signs of acute meniscal tear (locking, new acute mechanical symptoms consistent with meniscal tear)
- Patellar chondrocalcinosis on X-Ray
- Skin problem, rash or hypersensitivity, affecting either knee at the injection site
- Bleeding problem, platelet or coagulation deficiency contraindicating, in the doctor's opinion, intra-articular injection
- Active systemic infection
