Phase III JTA 004 study of JTA 004 fails to meet endpoints in knee osteoarthritis.- Bone Therapeutics

Bone Therapeutics announced that the Phase III knee osteoarthritis study with its enhanced viscosupplement JTA 004 (hyaluronic acid + analgesic + antiinflammatory) did not meet the primary and consequently the key secondary endpoints. The primary objective of the JTA-004 Phase III study was to demonstrate the efficacy of JTA 004 in reducing osteoarthritic knee pain compared to placebo as measured by the WOMAC pain subscale three months after treatment. A key secondary objective was the comparison between JTA 004 and comparator Hylan G-F 20 in knee pain relief at month 3.
