Phase II Study to Assess Safety and Efficacy of SL-1002 for Osteoarthritic Knee Pain
United States132 participantsStarted 2022-06-13
Plain-language summary
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose escalation study to assess the safety and efficacy of single treatment exposure of an injectable formulation of SL-1002 for the treatment of knee pain associated with osteoarthritis. Phase A of the study will enroll 3 cohorts of 8 patients per cohort, for a total of 24 patients. Patients will be randomized to receive either SL-1002 or placebo in a 3:1 ratio within each given cohort. Phase B of the study will enroll a minimum of 92 up to a maximum of 108 patients. Patients will be randomized to receive either SL-1002 or placebo in a 3:1 ratio at the recommended dose determined from Phase A. The study period will be up to 168 days inclusive of a screening period of up to 28 days.

Inclusion criteria
. Male or female patients 35 years of age or older, with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 18.0 to 40.0 kg/m2 and a total body weight of ≥50.0 kg for males and ≥45.5 kg for females.
. Patients with chronic knee pain resulting from osteoarthritis for greater than 6 months prior to study Screening Visit 1 that interferes with functional activities (e.g., ambulation, prolonged standing, etc.).
. Patients currently experiencing continued pain despite receiving at least 3 months of conservative treatments, inclusive of activity modification, home exercise, protective weight bearing, and/or use of analgesics (e.g., acetaminophen or NSAIDs).
. Patients with a baseline average pain score of ≥ 6 on an 11-point NRS scale as "usual level of pain over the past 24 hours during weight-bearing activities" for the index knee at Screening. The baseline average pain score is computed by finding the mean of the daily NRS pain intensity scores reported during the 7-day run in period.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Occurrence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) overall
Timeframe: Time of study drug administration to end of study visit (day 168)
2
Improvement of knee pain
Timeframe: Change from baseline to Month 3 in 11 point NRS score
. Patients with Kellgren-Lawrence Grade 2 (mild) or Grade 3 (moderate) radiologically confirmed osteoarthritis (via x-ray/MRI/CT) within 6 months of study Screening Visit 1.
. Patients with a baseline Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) pain subscale score ≥ 19 and ≤ 67 in the index knee.
. Patients taking analgesics, inclusive of membrane stabilizers (e.g., Neurontin/gabapentin) and/or antidepressants (e.g., Cymbalta/duloxetine), for osteoarthritis associated knee pain must be on a stable dose for at least 6 weeks prior to study Screening Visit 1. Patients must agree to not alter the dose of analgesics for the duration of the study without prior approval from the Investigator.
. Female patients of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a male partner must be willing to use one of the following acceptable contraceptive methods throughout the study and for 30 days after the last study drug administration:
