ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06966206
What this study is testing
What is Multiprofen-CC™ plus standard treatment?
Multiprofen-CC™ plus standard treatment is an investigational medicine, given as a treatment applied to the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for hand osteoarthritis.
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
- This clinical trial aims to find out if using 1 gram of Multiprofen-CC cream on the hands three times a day for 4 weeks can help reduce pain in adults with hand osteoarthritis, compared to a placebo (a cream with no active medicine). The research team will also look at how Multiprofen-CC affects hand function, opioid use, and how patients feel about their overall improvement.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
