OA Knee Pain Study

Coming Very Soon
Now Taking Pre-enrollment Applications

Help us test an investigational study drug for osteoarthritis knee pain.

The OA Knee Study is a clinical research study for adults with painful osteoarthritis of the knee. The study is testing an investigational study drug to find out if it is safe and tolerable when injected into the knee. Investigational means the study drug is not approved by any health or regulatory agencies and can only be used in research.

You may be able to join the OA Knee Pain study if you:

  • Are 45 to 80 years old
  • Have painful osteoarthritis of the knee
  • Have tried at least 2 therapies for your knee pain, such as physical therapy or NSAIDs. NSAIDs are a type of over-the-counter pain medication, such as ibuprofen (Advil®) or naproxen (Aleve®)

Diversity in Clinical Research Studies

People may experience respiratory diseases in different ways. We plan to include people of different races, ethnicities, genders, ages, and backgrounds in our OA Knee Pain Study. This will help us to see how the research being studied works for different people.

Why are clinical studies important?

Clinical trials are the best way to find out if new treatments or vaccines work and how safe they are. If clinical trials show that a new treatment works and is safe, then it can be approved to be used by the people who need it.

Not all clinical trials test a new treatment or vaccine. “Observational” studies collect information about people’s health during their normal care. This helps researchers learn more about specific health issues.

What is a clinical research study?

A clinical research study is a medical study that helps to answer important questions about an investigational medication or vaccine. such as:

  • Is it effective?
  • What amount. or dose. may work best?
  • How safe is it?
  • Are there side effects?

All medications and vaccines must be tested in clinical research studies before they can be approved for use. Without people taking part in these studies, we would have no new medications or vaccines

Clinical research studies should include groups of people who may be at higher risk based on their age, sex. and race/ethnicity.

An Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Ethics Committee (EC), which protects the rights, safety, and wellbeing of the participants has approved this study.
