A Randomized, Open-Label, Single-Dose Study to Assess Safety and Systemic Exposure of Triamcinolone Acetonide Extended-Release in Patients With Hip Osteoarthritis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Intra-articular (IA) corticosteroids, including triamcinolone acetonide (TA), are a recommended treatment for hip osteoarthritis. We compared the safety and systemic exposure of TA extended-release (TA-ER) versus TA crystalline suspension (TAcs) in patients with hip osteoarthritis.

Methods

In this phase 2, randomized, multicenter, open-label, single-dose study (NCT03382262), patients with hip osteoarthritis were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive single IA injections of TA-ER 32 mg or TAcs 40 mg. Safety assessments included treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis up to day 85. PK parameters included area under the concentration-time curve, total body drug clearance, maximum concentration (C_max<
