  • The participant is currently participating or was participating in another investigational drug trial within 3 months prior to the Screening Visit
  • The participant has a history of significant trauma or surgery (e.g., open or arthroscopic) to the index knee within 12 months of Screening

  • The participant has other conditions that could affect trial endpoint assessments of the index knee
  • The participant has current clinically significant disease(s) or condition(s) that may affect safety assessments, or any other reason which may preclude the participant's participation for the full duration of the trial
  • The participant has a history of hypersensitivity to resiniferatoxin (RTX) or any similar component (capsaicin, chili peppers)
  • The participant has periarticular pain at the index knee from any cause other than osteoarthritis, including referred pain, bursitis, tendonitis
  • The participant has clinical hip osteoarthritis on the side of the index knee
  • The participant has significant malalignment of anatomical axis (medial angle formed by the femur and tibia) of the target knee (varus >10°, valgus >10°) by radiograph as assessed by independent Central Readers at Screening Visit
  • The participant is an employee of the investigator or trial site, with direct involvement in the proposed trial or other trials under the direction of that investigator or trial site or is a family member of the employees or the investigator; The non-index knee is not eligible for treatment in the trial, if any of the knee-related exclusion criteria applies to the non-index knee

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

An open-label, single-arm clinical trial to confirm the safety of monoarticular injections or bi-lateral intra-articular injections of RTX-GRT7039 in patients who have pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee despite standard of care.

The group in the trial

  • RTX-GRT7039Treatment being tested

    Participants will receive injections of RTX-GRT7039 into either the index knee (affected knee or in case of bilateral OA the knee with highest pain intensity), or each of both knees up to Week 52.
