The FLEXX trial was the first well-controlled, randomized, double-blind, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy of Euflexxa (1% sodium hyaluronate) therapy for knee osteoarthritis. Five-hundred-and-eighty patients were randomized to receive either Euflexxa or normal saline. There were significant improvements in the Visual analogue scale score Osteoarthritis Research Society International responder index, HRQoL, and function at 26-week follow-up.1 However, the FLEXX trial did not evaluate changes in synovial fluid bio-marker levels. The present study will be a prospective pilot study of 25 subjects who will receive intra-articular Euflexxa. The primary objective of this study is to prospectively determine, at 6-weeks, and 6-months post treatment, the changes in levels of synovial fluid biomarkers from pre- to post-injection in patients who receive Euflexxa. In addition, we will assess patient reported pain and patient reported outcomes up to 2 years from initiation of study.
