Study summary

This clinical investigation aims to investigate the safety and performance of Sensovisc.

Sensovisc is used to reduce osteoarthritis (OA) related pain in the joints by supporting synovial fluid by intra-articular injection and allowing the synovial fluid to restore its viscoelastic properties. It increases the joint mobility by reducing or eliminating the pain.

This Clinical Investigation was designed as a cross-sectional, interventional, and prospective study.

Read the detailed description

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent chronic arthritis and a leading cause of pain and disability among adults. OA is a degenerative joint disease characterized by chronic inflammation, cartilage degradation and erosion of underlying bone in the affected joints, predominantly affects knees, significantly impacting patient mobility and quality of life.

  • Although there are currently no approved disease-modifying osteoarthritis drugs (DMOADs), nonpharmacologic interventions, such as physical therapy and weight management, and pharmaceutical approaches are available to reduce or revise joint damage and inflammation.
  • Among various therapeutic interventions, intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) injections have emerged as an alternative promising treatment. Emerging evidence suggests that HA may exert chondroprotective effects by enhancing synovial fluid viscosity, improving joint lubrication, and mitigating inflammatory processes, thereby potentially decelerating disease progression and preserving cartilage integrity.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    SV-2-40 or SV-3-60

    Patients with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score of 80 mm or higher will receive a single injection of SV-3-60 (Sterile Sodium Hyaluronate Gel-3 mL Prefilled Syringe (2.0%)), whereas those with a score below 80 mm will receive a single injection of SV-2-40 (Sterile Sodium Hyaluronate Gel-2 mL Prefilled Syringe (2.0%) )

    Device: Sensovisc®

  • Experimental
    SV-2-32

    For the patients who will be injected with SV-2-32 (Sterile Sodium Hyaluronate Gel-2 mL Prefilled Syringe (1.6%)), a second injection will be performed 1 week after the first injection.

    Device: Sensovisc®

  • Experimental
    SV-2-20

    3 intra-articular injections of SV-2-20 (Sterile Sodium Hyaluronate Gel-2 mL Prefilled Syringe (1.0%)) administered 1 weeks apart. For the subject in the SV-2-20 group, a second and third injection will be performed one week and two weeks after the first injection.

    Device: Sensovisc®

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    VAS at rest: Measures pain intensity while resting. Scale 0-10 cm (0 = no pain, 10 = worst imaginable pain). Higher scores = worse pain at rest. VAS at night: Measures pain intensity during the night, especially disturbing sleep. Scale 0-10 cm. Higher scores = worse nocturnal pain. VAS during activity: Measures pain intensity during movement or activity. Scale 0-10 cm. Higher scores = worse pain on activity.

    Time frame: Baseline

  2. WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index

    The WOMAC Index is a self-administered questionnaire designed to evaluate symptoms and functional limitations in hip and knee osteoarthritis. It has 3 subscales: Pain (0-20) Stiffness (0-8) Physical function (0-68) The total score ranges from 0 to 96, with higher scores indicating worse pain, stiffness, and functional impairment.

    Time frame: Baseline

  3. Lequesne's Algofunctional Index for Knee

    It measures three areas: Pain/discomfort (during activities and at rest), Maximum walking distance Daily living activities (like standing up, climbing stairs, squatting) The total score ranges from 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating greater disability: 1-4 = mild, 5-7 = moderate, 8-10 = severe, ≥14 = extremely severe.

    Time frame: Baseline

  4. Change in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score from baseline at 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. The usability of the devices

    Device usability will be evaluated using a structured, multidimensional Device Usability Assessment Form, which includes five domains: Evaluation of the Product Instructions for Use Evaluation of the Surgical Technique Guide Evaluation of the Implant Card Evaluation of the Operation (Syringe Handling and Injection Procedure) Evaluation of Packaging The assessment form contains Likert-type items rated on a 5-point scale: 1 = Strongly disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Neither agree nor disagree, 4 = Agree, 5 = Strongly agree. A higher score reflects better usability, easier handling, clearer instructions, and improved user satisfaction.
