Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • change from baseline at week 12 (or end of study measurements) on the Visual Analogue Scale version of the entire WOMAC Pain subscale (primary)

  • patient global assessment of response to therapy measured on a 5-point Likert Scale at week 12 or end of study measurements (co-primary)

  • change from baseline at week 12 (or end of study measurements) on the Visual Analogue Scale version of the entire WOMAC function subscale (co-primary)

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Change from baseline at week 12 (or end of study measurements) for Physician's Global Assessment of OA and for observed function (TUG)

  • Mean number of rescue medication taken per day while in the study

  • Number of withdrawals and time to discontinuation of the study due to lack of efficacy

  • Time to onset (in days) of pain relief and time to onset of new flares during treatment

  • Change from baseline on the vitality subscale of the SF-36 health survey and the EURO QoL
