Clinical Trials associated with CYT-108A Phase Ia, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety of CYT-108 for the Therapy of Mild to Moderate Primary Osteoarthritis of the Knee
The goal of this Phase 1 study is to investigate the safety of CYT-108, our experimental recombinant protease inhibitor drug candidate for osteoarthritis, in a population of patients suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee. The main questions this study aims to answer are:
are two doses of CYT-108, delivered 12 weeks apart, safe when injected directly into the joint?
does administration of CYT-108 result in a reduction in pain, stiffness, and improvement in daily physical function?
Participants will either receive a placebo (Phosphate Buffer Saline, PBS) or CYT-108, and will be asked to report their pain/stiffness at weeks 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 26 (in a physician's office) after the initial injection, using a questionnaire to be provided by the physician. In addition to reporting the magnitude of pain, participants will also be asked about the onset of pain reduction. Researchers will compare the pain/stiffness scores between the CYT-108-treated to placebo-treated groups along the 26 week duration of the study. Participants will also receive blood draws along the course of the study, and researchers will analyze this blood for the presence of cartilage degradation product in attempt to identify "disease modification" (i.e., a reduction in cartilage degradation) in response to CYT-108 treatment.
