Recruiting PHASE1 Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Tests treatment safety and results for Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Official title Study to Assess the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of AVD275 Injection in Patients With Osteoarthritis of the Knee

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07338266

What this study is testing

What is AVD275 Intra-articular Injection?

AVD275 Intra-articular Injection is an investigational medicine, given as an injectable medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for osteoarthritis of 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
This study aims to understand the safety, drug concentration and distribution of an intra-articular injectable formulation of celecoxib, AVD275, in patients with knee osteoarthritis. One single injection at three different doses of the drug will be studied in a sequential order, and each participant will be monitored for 24 weeks over ten clinical visits.
