February 25, 2022 The paper is entitled: “Symptomatic and structural benefit of cathepsin K inhibition by MIV-711 in a subgroup with unilateral pain: post-hoc analysis of a randomised phase 2a clinical trial.”Abstract:
Osteoarthritis (OA) development programmes face challenges due to discordance between structural changes and symptoms. A novel cathepsin-K inhibitor, MIV-711, recently reported structural benefits, but did not demonstrate a significant difference from placebo in symptoms. Previous work suggests that pain from non-target joints may confound OA pain outcomes. We therefore conducted an exploratory analysis in participants with predominantly unilateral knee pain from the MIV-711-201 trial.
