Recruiting PHASE2 Osteoarthritis in the Knee

Tests treatment safety and results for Osteoarthritis in the Knee

Official title Efficacy and Safety of KBP-336 in Obese Individuals with Osteoarthritis

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06833749

What this study is testing

What is KBP-336?

KBP-336 is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for osteoarthritis in the knee.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if KBP-336 works to treat pain in osteoarthritis in individuals living with obesity. It will also learn about the effects on other parameters, such as quality of life and metabolism, as well as safety of KBP-336.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
