E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Ambulatory men and women with knee osteoarthritis, between 51 and 80 years old, in general good health. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Any disease or medication affecting the bone or cartilage metabolism (osteoporosis is allowed). • Conditions causing secondary osteoarthritis of the study joint • Obese study subjects with unilateral aggressive progressing knee OA. • Malignancy (except basal cell carcinoma, cervical or breast ductal carcinoma in situ) within the last 5 years. • Any clinical signs or laboratory evidence for severe renal/liver/pulmonary, neurologic, cardiovascular, metabolic, hematological or psychiatric condition, which in the Investigator’s opinion would preclude the participant from adhering to the Protocol or completing the trial. • Diagnostic arthroscopy with a surgical procedure within 6 moths prior to the screening or plan to have a surgery during the clinical trial. • History of drug abuse or active alcoholism. • Any investigational drug(s) within 30 days prior to screening.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The aim of the trial is to study the effect of oral calcitonin compared to placebo with three primary endpoints:
1.JSW in the medial tibio-femoral knee joint in the signal knee measured by X-ray
2. Pain to be assesses by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) pain sub score in the signal knee
3. Functional disability to be assessed by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) function sub score in the signal knee.
