Overview of the trial
The clinical trial NCT04864392 studied Lna043 in people with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.[1] It was an interventional study, which means researchers gave a study treatment and then measured the results.[1]
This was a phase 2 trial, a stage of research that helps researchers learn more about whether a treatment may work and how safe it is.[1] The study was completed.[1]
Who the study is for
The study focused on patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.[1] Symptomatic means the condition is causing symptoms, such as pain or stiffness, but the trial data do not list more detailed entry rules.[1]
The trial looked at the target knee, which is the knee chosen for measurement in the study.[1]
What the study is testing
The study compared Lna043 with placebo.[1] A placebo is a look-alike treatment used for comparison and does not contain the active study treatment.[1]
The brief study summary says the researchers wanted to evaluate knee structural changes from baseline in the central medial tibiofemoral compartment of the target knee at week 104.[1] In simple terms, they wanted to see whether the knee joint looked different after treatment compared with the starting point.[1]
What the study measures
The main outcome was change from baseline in the knee structure.[1] Baseline means the starting point before treatment begins.[1]
The study used the central medial tibiofemoral compartment as the main area for measurement.[1] This is a specific part of the knee joint, and it helps researchers focus on a precise area rather than the whole knee at once.[1]
The planned assessment time was week 104, which is about two years after the start of the study.[1]
Trial status and size
The trial was marked as completed.[1] It enrolled 581 participants.[1] This makes it a fairly large phase 2 study for a joint disease trial.[1]
