What is being tested?
The study is testing SL-1002's safety and effectiveness in reducing knee pain due to osteoarthritis compared to a placebo. It involves two phases: an initial dose escalation with three groups (24 patients total) followed by a larger phase with up to 108 patients receiving the best dose found in Phase A. Participants are randomly assigned either SL-1002 or placebo at a ratio of 3:1.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, common risks may include injection site reactions such as pain or swelling, allergic reactions to components of the treatment or placebo, potential worsening of knee symptoms initially after injection.
