  • 2 mg/kg IBW PPS once weekly + placebo once weekly
  • 100/150 mg PPS ≤65/>65 kg IBW once weekly + placebo once weekly
  • placebo twice weekly

In Stage 2, approximately 470 participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive the selected PPS dose regimen or placebo for 6 weeks. Approximately 150 participants (75 per group) will be assigned to the PK subset.

Participants in Stage 2 will be randomly allocated to receive:

  • One of the 3 Stage 1 PPS dose regimens selected by the DMC

Primary Outcome Measures:
1. Change from baseline at Day 56 in knee pain as assessed by the average pain sub-scale score of the WOMAC® NRS 3.1 Index.
[ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 56 ]

WOMAC: The WOMAC® NRS 3.1 Index is a validated, self-administered, health status questionnaire that assesses pain, stiffness, and function in patients with hip or knee OA . The WOMAC pain sub-scale is a 5-item questionnaire used to assess the amount of pain experienced due to OA of index joint (knee) during the past 48 hours. It is calculated as the mean of scores from 5 individual questions scored on a numerical rating scale (NRS). Scores for each question and WOMAC Pain sub-scale score on NRS ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain), where higher scores indicate higher pain.
