About This Study
This study is testing a new treatment for people who have painful knee osteoarthritis. It is designed to reduce inflammation that causes knee pain. The study will compare two different doses to a placebo (an inactive saline solution). All participants will also receive a single corticosteroid (steroid) injection in the knee before the study drug is given, to help reduce swelling.
If you join, you will receive one injection after you have been in the study about a month. After that, you will come back for regular check-up visits during the first year, and then have yearly follow-up visits and phone calls. Study-related visits, tests, and the study drug are provided at no cost to you. You also receive compensation for your time.
The study team will monitor your health closely throughout the entire study. Joining is completely voluntary, and you may leave at any time.
