Male or female: 20 years to 75 years of age\n3. Symptoms associated with OA of the knee for ≥6 months prior to screening (patient reported is acceptable); Knee OA may be unilateral or bilateral\n4.

Crepitus\n * Osteophytes\n5. Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) Grade 1-4 in the index knee based on X-ray performed during screening (locally read) within 6 months from screening\n6. Body mass index (BMI) ≤ 40 kg/m2\n7. Ambulatory and in good general health\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n1. Any condition that could confound the patient's assessment of index knee pain in judgement of the investigator (for example, peri-articular pain of any cause or secondary arthritis that involves the index knee, joint dysplasia, aseptic osteonecrosis, acromegaly, Paget's disease, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Gaucher's disease, Stickler's syndrome, hemophilia, hemochromatosis, or neuropathic arthropathy, radicular lower back pain and hip pain that is referred to the knee that could cause misclassification); Other chronic pain anywhere in the body that confounds assessment of knee or that requires the use of celecoxib\n2. Malalignment of greater than 10 degrees in the femorotibial axis of the index knee on standing; Unstable joint (such as tornanterior cruciate ligament) or traumatic knee injury to the index knee (such as meniscal root tear) within 12 months of screening\n3. Fibromyalgia, Reiter's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease, crystal disease of the index knee (e.g. gout or calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease), rapidly progressive osteoarthritis (defined as joint space narrowing \\> 1.2 mm/year), sarcoidosis or amyloidosis\n4. Effusion at screening that likely requires joint aspiration for symptom relief from day 2 to day 83 during the study, as indicated by at least four joint drainages in the past year\n5. Intra-articular corticosteroids or intra-articular nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (investigational or marketed) in the index knee within 2 months of screening; Intra-articular hyaluronic acid (investigational or marketed) in the index knee within 3 months of screening; Intra-articular Zilretta within 3 months of screening\n6. Intramuscular or oral corticosteroids within 1 month of screening\n7. Patients who received opioids (excluding tramadol and tapentadol) within 2 weeks of screening\n8. Any other investigational drug/biologic use within 3 months of screening\n9. Prior diagnostic arthroscopy to the index knee within 3 months of screening; Prior arthroscopic or open surgery of the index knee (including microfracture and meniscectomy) within 6 months of screening；Prior regenerative joint procedures on the index knee, including, but not limited to, stem cells transplantation, autologous chondrocyte transplantation, or mosaicplasty within 12 months of screening; History of total or partial knee arthroplasty in the index knee\n10. Planned/anticipated surgery of the index knee, any other surgery, or hospitalization during the study period\n11. Known hypersensitivity to any form of NSAIDs (including celecoxib), sulfonamide-containing drugs, carboxymethyl cellulose, polysorbate 80 or lidocaine; History of severe allergic reactions\n12. Active or history of malignancy within the past 3 years, with the exception of resected basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the knee, or effectively managed cervical carcinoma\n13. Known active or quiescent systemic fungal, bacterial (including tuberculosis), viral or parasitic infections (including HIV, hepatitis B or C viruses), or ocular herpes simplex; Any infection requiring intravenous antibiotics within 2 months of screening or oral antibiotics within 2 weeks of screening; History of infection in the index knee within 12 months of screening; History of osteomyelitis\n14.

Abnormal liver function with AST or ALT \\> 2 upper limit of normal (ULN) at screening\n18. Abnormal kidney function with eGFR \\< 45 mL/min/1.73m2 at screening\n19. Platelet count outside normal range at screening\n20. WBC count \\< 3500 cells/mm3 or \\>20000 cells/mm3 at screening\n21. Active uncontrolled psychiatric disorder including psychosis (e.g. schizophrenia), bipolar disorder, uncontrolled anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder\n22. Positive drug screen (opiates, amphetamines, cocaine metabolites, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids); Active substance abuse (drugs or alcohol), history of chronic substance abuse within the past year, or prior chronic substance abuse judged by the investigator as likely to recur during the study\n23. Skin breakdown at the knee where the injection would take place; Any skin condition and/or tattoo that may interfere with the evaluation of safety at the injection site\n24. Women who are pregnant or nursing; Women of child-bearing potential (not surgically sterile or post-menopausal for at least 1 year as documented in medical history) not using a highly effective method of contraception (abstinence; oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception; intrauterine device or intrauterine system; condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/cream/suppository; or male sterilization (vasectomy for at least 3 months))\n25. Any other clinically significant acute or chronic medical conditions (e.g. bleeding disorder) that, in the judgement of the investigator, would preclude the use of an intra-articular NSAID or that could compromise patient safety, limit the patient's ability to complete the study, and/or compromise the objectives of the study."}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT07338266', 'briefTitle': 'Study to Assess the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of AVD275 Injection in Patients With Osteoarthritis of the Knee', 'organization': {'class': 'INDUSTRY', 'fullName': 'Avidence Therapeutics'}, 'officialTitle': 'A Single Ascending Dose Study to Assess the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Intra-articular AVD275 Injection in Patients With Osteoarthritis of the Knee', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'AVD275CLIN-2025-001'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Low Dose Arm', 'description': 'One low dose of AVD275 is injected to the osteoarthritic knee joint', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: AVD275 Intra-articular Injection']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Middle Dose Arm', 'description': 'One middle dose of AVD275 is injected to the osteoarthritic knee joint', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: AVD275 Intra-articular Injection']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'High Dose Arm', 'description': 'One high dose of AVD275 is injected to the osteoarthritic knee joint', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: AVD275 Intra-articular Injection']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'AVD275 Intra-articular Injection', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'A long-acting formulation of celecoxib', 'armGroupLabels': ['High Dose Arm', 'Low Dose Arm', 'Middle Dose Arm']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '2076', 'city': 'Wahroonga', 'state': 'New South Wales', 'country': 'Australia', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Amir Papan', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'amir.papan@cognivus.com.au', 'phone': '+61 (02) 9687 9633'}], 'facility': 'Cognivus Research Group', 'geoPoint': {'lat': -33.71816, 'lon': 151.11561}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Ang Li', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'ang.li@avidenceinc.com', 'phone': '413-652-4949'}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Ang Li', 'role': 'STUDY_DIRECTOR', 'affiliation': 'Avidence Therapeutics'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'UNDECIDED'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Avidence Therapeutics', 'class': 'INDUSTRY'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
