An Open-label, Single Administration Study to Characterize the Local Duration of Exposure of Triamcinolone Acetonide From FX006 in Patients With Osteoarthritis (OA) of the Knee

The purpose of this study was to characterize the local duration of exposure of TCA for 2
doses of FX006 relative to 40 mg of TCA IR in patients with OA of the knee.

This study was an open-label, single administration design, conducted in male and female
patients ≥40 years of age with OA of the knee.

Patients were enrolled sequentially with 8 patients per cohort, as follows:

Cohort A: FX006 40 mg, Final Visit at Week 20 Cohort B: FX006 40 mg, Final Visit at Week 16
Cohort C: FX006 10 mg, Final Visit at Week 12 Cohort D: FX006 40 mg, Final Visit at Week 12
Cohort E: Triamcinolone acetonide immediate-release (TCA IR) 40 mg, Final Visit Week 12

Each patient was evaluated for up to 12, 16, or 20 weeks following a single IA injection
depending on the assigned cohort. Following the screening visit, safety was evaluated at 3
out-patient visits and synovial fluid was collected at Day 1 for baseline measurements and
the Final Visit for drug concentration measurements.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

- Written consent to participate in the study

- Willingness and ability to comply with the study procedures and visit schedules and
