Abstract

Purpose: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) affects an estimated 14 million adults in the US, but no disease modifying osteoarthritis drugs (DMOADs) that slow or stop disease progression have been approved to date. The absence of MRI screening prior to enrolling patients to clinical trials may be a contributing factor to failure of such trials due to possible inclusion of participants with safety signals such as existing pathology that that are indicative of a high-risk of OA progression or joint collapse, and as such would not be amenable by any pharmacologic DMOAD approaches.
