This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of KA34 when administered via intra-articular injection to subjects with osteoarthritis of the knee.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of KA34 when administered via intra-articular injection to subjects with osteoarthritis of the knee. OA patients are randomized to receive either placebo or KA34 active drug in the range of 50-400 ug by intra-articular injection. The first portion of the study is with single ascending doses, the second portion of the study is with multiple ascending doses.

MAD Part: Mean AUC(0-t)

All PK samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, using a validated, sensitive, specific method. AUC(0-t) was calculated by linear up/log down trapezoidal summation, and the mean AUC(0-t) values for subjects who received KA34 in the MAD part of the study are presented.

SAD Part: Mean Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinite Time (AUC[0-inf])

All PK samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, using a validated, sensitive, specific method. AUC(0-inf) was calculated by linear up/log down trapezoidal summation and extrapolated to infinity by the addition of the last quantifiable concentration (Clast) divided by the elimation rate constant (λz), i.e. AUC(0-t) + Clast/λz. The mean AUC(0-inf) values for subjects who received KA34 in the SAD part of the study are presented.

All PK samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, using a validated, sensitive, specific method. t1/2 was determined as the natural log of λz, i.e. as ln2/λz. Mean t1/2 values for subjects who received KA34 in the MAD part of the study are presented.
