Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change from baseline to the end of Week 16 in Western Ontario and McMaster University Arthritis Index (WOMAC) pain subscale score
Baseline, Week 16

The WOMAC 3.1 is a multi-dimensional, osteoarthritis (OA) specific self-administered questionnaire using 24 questions with a 48-hour recall that are grouped into 3 subscales (pain, stiffness, and physical function) associated with hip or knee OA. Pain, stiffness, and physical function is rated on a scale of 0-10 (0 = less severe up to 10 = more severe).

Change from baseline to the end of Week 16 in Western Ontario and McMaster University Arthritis Index (WOMAC) physical function subscale score
Baseline, Week 16

See WOMAC 3.1 described above.

Change from baseline to the end of Week 16 in Patient Global Assessment (PGA) score
Baseline, Week 16

The PGA is part of a comprehensive assessment of the impact of treatment for osteoarthritis that also includes pain and physical function. The PGA included in the present study indicates the perception of osteoarthritis in the study joint at the current time. Ratings are provided on an 11-point numerical rating scale from 0 ("Very Good") to 10 ("Very Bad").
