Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Voluntarily sign the informed consent form before starting the activities related to the trial;
  • The Numerical Evaluation Scale (NRS) pain score of the index knee joint at screening is ≥ 4;
  • Subjects must be willing to discontinue all medical and non-medical treatments for osteoarthritis pain except rescue medication (acetaminophen) and not use prohibited analgesics throughout the study ;
  • Male and female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraceptive measures with their partners from the signing of the informed consent form until 1 month after the last dose of investigational product.

Exclusion criteria

  • History of other diseases that may involve the target joint;
  • History of major trauma or surgery of knee joint and hip joint in the past year;
  • Plan to undergo surgical procedure during the study;
  • Most or complete loss of mobility;
  • There are other diseases that may confuse the assessment of osteoarthritis pain;
  • There is a neuropsychiatric disease, and the investigator's assessment may affect the evaluation of osteoarthritis (OA) or self-score;
  • There are serious or poorly controlled concomitant diseases;
  • Those who have a clear history of peptic ulcer, bleeding, perforation or obstruction within 1 year before screening, and have been clinically diagnosed;
  • Those who require drug treatment or surgical intervention;
