Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43853   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

The subject should have undergone a washout-period of at least 5 half-lives of any analgesic medication before completing the screening questionnaire.
    6. Women of child-bearing potential must use at least an acceptably effective method of contraception (progestogen-only oral hormonal contraception, where inhibition of ovulation is not the primary mode of action, male or female condom with or without spermicide, cap, diaphragm or sponge with spermicide). Postmenopausal status is defined as being amenorrheic for at least 1 year prior to screening. Sexually active men with a female partner of childbearing potential must agree to use condom from enrolment up to at least 3 months after the study end.
    7. Knee pain in the target knee for 14 days of the preceding month (periarticular knee pain due to OA and not due to non-OA conditions such as bursitis, tendonitis, etc.) based on subject report.
    8. On stable pain therapy (i.e., at least 3 days per week for the previous month) with an oral NSAID or acetaminophen/paracetamol prior to the Screening Visit.
    9. Except for osteoarthritis, the subject is in reasonably good health as determined by the Investigator.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to or previous hypersensitivity reactions to diclofenac, other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or related substances including aspirin, any of the excipients in either of the investigational products, or any physical impediment to gel application on the target knee.
    2. Intra-articular delivery of corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid in the target knee within 6 months of screening or into any other joint within 30 days of screening.
    3. High dose (equivalent to > 5 mg of prednisone/day) systemic corticosteroid treatment of more than 14 days during the past 6 months prior to screening.
    4. Major surgery or arthroscopy of the target knee within the previous year prior to screening.
    5. Planned surgery of the target knee within the next 3 months.
    6. Use of a currently unapproved investigational drug, device or biologic within 6 months prior to screening.
    7. Presence of concomitant non-osteoarthritic disease affecting either knee, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, gout or pseudogout, if there is reason to believe that the disease(s) may significantly interfere with the interpretation of the clinical response to the study drug.
    8. Medical history of coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
    9. Current malignancy or treatment for malignancy within the past five years, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer, unless affecting the target knee area, or carcinoma in situ events.
    10. Any other abnormal laboratory results or significant medical conditions that the Investigator believes should preclude the subject's participation in the trial.
    11. Secondary osteoarthritis of the target knee, previous procedures or trauma affecting joint homeostasis including total meniscectomy or septic arthritis, or any other serious condition leading to secondary OA of the target knee.
    12. Reported incidence of any of the following diseases: known osteoarthritis of the hip(s) if pain in either or both hip(s) exceeds that of the target knee using the WOMAC Hip Pain subscore, presence of significant radicular back pain, or at least one migraine attack within the past 12 months before screening, as reported by the subject.
    13. Presence of severe pain in either knee, defined as > 45 out of 50 in response to the WOMAC pain sub-score (5 questions), at the time of screening, regardless of the eligibility of the contralateral knee.
    14. Body Mass Index > 45.0 kg/m2.
    15. Estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) method.
    16. Generalized skin irritation, previous skin reactions upon use of topical NSAIDs, current skin irritation or redness at the planned site of gel application, or significant skin disease including psoriasis, as judged by the investigator.
    17. Known presence of gastroduodenal ulcer or any gastrointestinal bleeding (except hemorrhoidal) within 6 months prior to screening.
    18. Use of any topical medication on the planned application site within 15 days of the time of randomization.
    19. Use of moderate or higher doses of opioid medication for the treatment of pain within 6 weeks before the screening visit.
    20. Use of duloxetine, pregabalin, or gabapentin within 4 weeks before the screening visit.
