E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
- Characterize the long-term risk of joint safety events in subjects with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip who receive tanezumab 2.5 mg or tanezumab 5 mg SC versus NSAID treatment (naproxen 500 mg BID, celecoxib 100 mg BID, or diclofenac ER 75 mg BID) over the course of 56-weeks of treatment using a composite endpoint (includes adjudication outcomes of rapidly progressive osteoarthritis type-1 or type-2, subchondral insufficiency fracture (SPONK), primary osteonecrosis, or pathological fracture).
-Demonstrate superior efficacy of tanezumab 2.5 mg and tanezumab 5 mg SC versus NSAID treatment (naproxen 500 mg BID, celecoxib 100 mg BID, or diclofenac ER 75 mg BID) at Week 16. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
-Characterize the long-term joint safety risk using a composite endpoint (includes adjudication outcomes of rapidly progressive osteoarthritis (type-2 only), subchondral insufficiency fracture (or SPONK), primary osteonecrosis, or pathological fracture).
-Characterize the long-term risk of the following individual adjudication outcomes occurring: rapidly progressive osteoarthritis (type-1 only), rapidly progressive osteoarthritis (type-2 only), rapidly progressive osteoarthritis (type-1 or type-2 combined), subchondral insufficiency fracture (or SPONK), primary osteonecrosis,
and pathological fracture.
