- Inflammatory flare (night pain, joint effusion) corresponding to a KOFUS score less than 7,
- Pathology potentially interfering with the evaluation (metabolic inflammatory arthropathy, rheumatoid arthritis, lower limb radiculalgia, arthritis...),
- Related to previous and associated treatments:
- Corticosteroids injection in the previous month, whatever the joint concerned,
- Hyaluronan injection in the evaluated knee during the previous 6 months,
- Slow-acting drugs for OA and/or dietary supplements taken within less than 3 months prior to the study product administration or for which the dose has been modified in the last three months (ex: chondroitin sulfate, diacerein, soy and avocado unsaponifiables, oxaceprol, granions de cuivre, glucosamine, phytotherapy for OA, homeopathy for OA...),
