What's The Definition Of The Medical Condition Euflexxa?Clinical Pharmacology CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Clinical Studies 12 Week Multicenter Clinical Trial The safety and effectiveness of EUFLEXXA as a treatment for pain in OA of the knee was investigated in a multicenter clinical trial conducted in Germany.
Study Design The clinical investigation was a prospective randomized, double blinded, active control (commercially available hyaluronan) study conducted at 10 centers in Germany.
A total of 321 patients with stage 2 - 3 osteoarthritis of the knee according to the Kellgren and Lawrence grading system, meeting the Altman Criteria for Classification of Idiopathic Osteoarthritis of the knee, and scoring an average score of 41 - 80 mm on the WOMAC VAS pain index were randomized into groups of equal size to receive either EUFLEXXA (160 patients) or the active control (161 patients).
Patient Population And Demographics The demographics of trial participants were comparable across treatment groups with regard to age, gender, Kellgren and Lawrence grading system, stiffness, crepitus, bony enlargement, and no palpable warmth.
Table 5 lists the demographics of the patient population.

‡ Altman, et al., (Arthritis and Rheumatism 1986;29(8):1039-1049): Clinical criteria for classification of idiopathic osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee were defined as follows: Knee pain and at least 3 of the following 6 parameters: Age > 50 years, Stiffness < 30 minutes, Crepitus, Bony tenderness, Bony enlargement, No palpable warmth Clinical Results For this trial, the main performance analysis for determining non-inferiority was determined using the improvement in the average of the five patient's self-evaluation pain parameters measured by the VAS WOMAC index at Week 12 from baseline.
This analysis was performed for both the intent-to-treat population, (i.e., every subject who received the injection), and the evaluable population, (i.e., those subjects who had average pain scores of 41-80 allowing only one parameter to be below 20 or above 80 at both the pre-screening visit and visit 1).
For those patients who dropped out of the study before Week 12, the last evaluation was used.
For those patients who requested NSAID or analgesic during the study, the last evaluation before start of NSAID/analgesic was used for the analysis.
The results indicate that the effect of EUFLEXXA on pain relief was not inferior to that of a commercially available hyaluronan.

The intervention consisted of three weekly injections into the target knee with evaluations from baseline through Week 26 (1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 26).
The primary objective was to demonstrate superiority over saline comparator from baseline to Week 26 using the pain level reported following a 50 foot walk test, measured by 100 mm visual analog scale.
The following secondary endpoints were also evaluated: OARSI responder rate at Week 12 and Week 26; WOMAC pain, disability, and joint stiffness score changes from baseline to Week 12 and 26; and change in Patient Global Assessment from baseline to Week 12 and Week 26.
Patient Population And Demographics A total of 821 subjects were screened for the study, and 588 subjects were randomized.
Approximately 88% of the randomized subjects completed the study, with similar proportions completing in each treatment group.
Sixty-eight (11.6%) subjects discontinued the randomization/treatment phase prematurely: 34 (11.5%) in the saline group and 34 (11.6%) in the EUFLEXXA group.
The most common reasons for discontinuation were the subject's withdrawing consent 25 (4.3%) and AEs 17 (2.9%).
A total of 433 (73.6%) subjects entered the open-label extension study.
Clinical Results Primary Endpoint In the primary efficacy analysis, the EUFLEXXA group showed a larger mean decrease in pain scores on the 50-foot walk test from baseline to Week 26 than the saline group: - 25.7 (28.85) mm versus -18.5 (32.53) mm, respectively.
The group difference in least squares mean change from baseline of -6.6 mm (95% CI = -10.8 to -2.5 mm) was statistically significant (p-value = 0.002).

N = number of subjects in a given treatment group for the population analyzed; n = number of subjects reporting at least one adverse event within system organ class/preferred term; (%) = percentage of subjects based on N; TEAE = treatment-emergent adverse event.
Note: An adverse event was counted as a TEAE if it was either not present at baseline (prior to the first dose of double-blind study device) or present at baseline but increased in severity during the treatment period.
During the initial randomization/treatment phase, 326 (55.4%) subjects in the safety population experienced 742 TEAEs.
The proportion of subjects reporting TEAEs was generally similar in the EUFLEXXA and saline groups (53.6% and 57.3%, respectively).
The most common preferred term of TEAE was arthralgia (10.5% of all subjects).
Thirty (5.1%) subjects experienced severe TEAEs, and the proportion with severe events was larger in the saline group (6.4%) than the EUFLEXXA group (3.8%).
Overall, 10.4% of subjects had TEAEs considered related to study device, with comparable proportions in each treatment group (9.9% and 10.8% for EUFLEXXA and saline, respectively).
During the extension phase, 43.4% (188/433) of subjects reported 377 TEAEs.
Of these 43.8% (96/219) subjects receiving repeated EUFLEXXA reported 199 TEAEs.
The most frequently reported preferred term in subjects formerly assigned to the core study EUFLEXXA group were arthralgia (8.7%), nasopharyngitis (4.6%), injury (4.1%), upper respiratory tract infections (2.7%), joint swelling (2.7%), back pain (2.7%), and sinusitis (2.3%).
Of these TEAEs 9 (4.1%) subjects had study device related AEs classified as “Certain,” “Probable,” “Possible” or “Un-assessable.” The most common related TEAEs were arthralgia (2.3%) and joint swelling (1.4%).Table 4 shows the Study Device Related Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events by Preferred Term with an Incidence of > 1 among Treatment Groups (Safety Population).

Note: Related AEs are AEs with study device relationship classified as “Certain,” “Probable,” “Possible” or “Un-assessable.” Twenty-three serious TEAEs were reported in 19 (3.2%) subjects during the study: 10 (3.4%) subjects in the EUFLEXXA group and 9 (3.1%) subjects in the saline group.
One of these events was considered related to the study device (increased redness of the left knee joint in the EUFLEXXA group).
Eight (1.4%) subjects had 9 TEAEs leading to discontinuation: 3 (1.0%) subjects in the EUFLEXXA group and 5 (1.7%) subjects in the saline group.
Twelve (2.8%) subjects reported 20 serious TEAEs during the extension phase.
Six of these subjects had received EUFLEXXA during the core study.
None of the serious TEAEs was considered related to study device, and all resolved.
Two (0.5%) subjects had TEAEs leading to discontinuation from the study, one of whom received EUFLEXXA during the core study; both subjects had events that were considered unrelated to study device.
Two subjects on saline experienced joint effusion.
There were no reports of joint effusion among subjects receiving EUFLEXXA during the core and extension phase.
