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.
