Brief Summary

The knee osteoarthritis is a frequent degenerative condition that mainly affects subjects over 60, population often weakened by numerous comorbidities and concomitant treatments, justifying the development of new therapies. The viscosupplementation is a symptomatic treatment for knee osteoarthritis ; the objective of this intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid is to reduce knee pain and improve mobility. In practice, there are two protocols to administer viscosupplementation : in a single injection or in three injections performed weekly. The present clinical investigation has the objective to evaluate the safety of use of Pandora in a single injection or in three injections performed weekly.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of adverse event attributable to the investigational Medical Device during the week following each injection.

    Adverse events will be collected at : * Day 8 for Happyone arm (single injection) ; * Days 8, 15 and 22 for Happysoft arm (three injections).

    1 month

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Number of adverse events during the month following the first injection for immediate and delayed local tolerance evaluation.

    1 month

  • Patient self-assesment of the overall tolerance of the treatment based on a 5-point scale, from "Very bad" to "Very good".

    1 month

  • Variation over time of the WOMAC score, between time of injection and end point, and the WOMAC subscores A (pain) and C (function). The WOMAC-Questionnaire is based on a 11 points scale, from 0 = None to 10 = Extreme.

    6 months

  • Patient self-assesment of the effectiveness of the treatment based on a 11 points numeric scale, from 0 = None to 10 = Total.

    6 months

Study Arms (2)

Medical Device : Happyone

EXPERIMENTAL

Hyaluronic acid associated with tranexamic acid ; 4.8 ml will be injected in one time

Device: Intra-articular single injection

Device: Intra-articular three injections

Interventions

Both groups will receive their first injection after a selection visit ; first injection will be planned between 7 days to 30 days after to confirm the enrollment. The injection will be performed at Day 1.

Medical Device : Happyone

Both groups will receive their first injection after a selection visit ; first injection will be planned between 7 days to 30 days after to confirm the enrollment. The injections will be performed at Days 1, 8 and 15.

Medical Device : Happysoft

Eligibility Criteria

Age35 Years - 85 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patient aged between 35 and 85 years.
  • Body mass index (BMI) \< 30 kg.m\^2.
  • Medial or lateral femoro-tibial knee osteoarthritis, diagnosed according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria, radiological stage 2 and 3 according to the Kellgren-Lawrence criteria modified by Felson on an X-ray, of the knee in extension, less than 12 months old.
  • Knee osteoarthritis responsible for walking pain in the target knee, assessed between 4 and 8 inclusive on an 11 points numerical scale (0 = none to 10 = extreme).
  • Ambulatory patient able to walk 50 meters without a cane, crutch or walker.
  • Patient able to read, understand, sign and date the patient information sheet.
  • Patient agreeing to follow-up study visits.
  • Patient affiliated to the health social security system.
  • Patient requiring viscosupplementation according to the investigator.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patient presenting knee osteoarthritis without impingement joint space narrowing of the femoro-tibial compartment (modified Kellgren stage 0-1) or with complete impingement joint space narrowing on the knee weight-bearing radiograph in extension (modified Kellgren stage 4).
  • Walking pain in the target knee, rated less than 4 or more than 8 on an 11-point numerical scale (0 = none to 10 = extreme).
  • Patient with a flare of osteoarthritis of the target or contralateral knee attested by KOFUS criteria ≥ 7.
  • Patients with a skin condition or a wound next to or near the injection site.
  • Patients refusing to discontinue treatment with NSAIDs or cox-2 inhibitors during the follow-up period.
  • Patient receiving treatment with level III analgesics (strong opioids).
  • Patient with hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid or tranexamic acid.
  • Patient with a history of seizures.
  • Patient with Fibromyalgia.
  • Patient with an active neurological or vascular musculoskeletal disorder (such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, spondyloarthritis or any other autoimmune disease, Paget's disease, gout, coxopathy, tendinopathy of the lower limb, sciatic or crural radiculalgia) that could interfere with the measurement of the effectiveness of the treatment of the knee evaluated.
  • Patient with hemostasis disorders, venous or lymphatic stenosis of the lower limbs, history of thromboembolic disease - phlebitis or pulmonary embolism - or a high risk of thromboembolism.
  • Patients with an evolving general cardiac, digestive, endocrine, haematological or broncho-pulmonary condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would be likely to disrupt regular monitoring and/or interfere with the measurement of treatment efficacy .
  • Breastfeeding patient, pregnant or wishing to be during the 6 months of the study.
  • Patient unable to give personal consent.
  • Patient with renal insufficiency.
