Phase III study results demonstrated that Anika Therapeutics’ CINGAL® hyaluronic acid (HA)/corticosteroid viscosupplement provided superior immediate and short term pain relief after injection vs. HA alone, and superior relief from OA-related pain, stiffness and function through 26 weeks vs. saline.
CINGAL remains under FDA regulatory review in the U.S. Anika is prepared to enroll patients in a supplemental Phase III study requested by FDA, and expects receipt of FDA clearance of the product thereafter.
As described in the company’s 1Q17 earnings call, the additional Phase III study:
- is a randomized, double-blind, active comparator controlled, multi-center trial
- will investigate CINGAL’s ability to provide relief of knee OA symptoms in patients who have not responded to conservative treatment
- comprises three treatment arms, to include CINGAL, MONOVISC and a steroid
