Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to to clarify which is the best dose of administration, to select a dose and to confirm the therapeutic efficacy of clodronate in patients with painful knee osteoarthritis (OA). The clinical trial will be divided in two parts.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* in Phase II, to assess the safety and tolerability of different escalating doses of intra articular (IA) clodronate
* in Phase II, to set a defined therapeutic dose (DTD) to be used in Phase III
* in Phase III, to assess the safety and tolerability of different escalating doses of IA clodronate to confirm and extensively evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of the clodronate DTD in patients with knee OA
