Brief Summary

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 2 Study to Determine the Efficacy, Safety, and Dosing of TG-C in Adult Subjects with Symptomatic Early Hip Osteoarthritis. TG-C will be administered to the target hip by a single ultrasound (or fluoroscopy)-guided, intra-articular injection with image capture showing correct injection of study drug into the femoroacetabular joint. Patients will be followed for 12 months for safety and efficacy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Hip Pain as Assessed by VAS

    Assessment of change from baseline in target hip pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS is a method for the assessment of the intensity of pain. The VAS is a horizontal line, 100 mm in length and anchored by word descriptors at each end (no pain, very severe pain). The patient marks on the line at the point that represents their current state. The VAS score is determined by measuring in millimeters from the left hand end to the point of the mark. The score ranges from "0" or no pain to "100" very severe pain.

    Baseline to Month 12

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)

    Baseline to Month 12

  • Timed Up and Go Test (TUG)

    Baseline to Months 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12

  • UCLA Activity Score

    Baseline to Months 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12

  • Joint Space Width (JSW) on standing X-ray

    Baseline to Month 12

  • WOMAC® (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) total score

    Baseline to Month 12

Other Outcomes (5)

  • Physical Component Score (PCS) of the Short Form 12-Item Health Survey (SF-12 Questionnaire)

    12 months

  • Clinician Global Impression of Change (CGI-C)

    Week 1 and Months 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12

  • Clinician Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S)

    Baseline and at Months 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12
