5. Subject must have a diagnosis of idiopathic OA according to the American College of Rheumatology clinical and radiographic criteria, and fulfillment of at least four of the 6 criteria: age of ≥50 years stiffness lasting <30 minutes after getting up in the morning crepitus Bone tenderness Bone enlargement No joint fever

6. Subject must have a history of clinically symptomatic OA of the knee for ≥6 months.

7. Subject must have had knee pain while standing, walking, and/or in motion for at least 14 days during the month prior to screening.

8. Subject must have a knee pain score ≥40 mm and <90 mm on a 100 mm VAS (without analgesic medication) on at least 7 of the 10 days prior to randomization(according to the subject's diary card records).

9. Subject must have a WOMAC pain average score of knee ≥40 mm and <90 mm starting on the first screening visit.

10. Subject must be willing to discontinue any NSAIDs or other analgesic (e.g. aspirin) or potentially confounding concomitant treatments (e.g. physiotherapy, acupuncture) starting on the first screening visit until completing participation in the study. (The use of ≤325 mg acetylsalicylic acid per day as cardiac prophylaxis is permitted.) The subject will be allowed to take rescue medication (acetaminophen) for pain during the study except during the 24 hours prior to the Second Screening Visit, Baseline (Day1), Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 14.

(Topical preparations containing Vitamin A acids or retinol may be applied to areas of the skin above the waist, but should not be applied to areas of the skin exposed to study medication.) 12. Subject must be willing to avoid unaccustomed physical activity (e.g. starting a new weight lifting routine) for the duration of the study starting on the first screening visit.

13. With the exception of OA of the knee, the subject must be in good general health with no clinically significant findings from medical history, vital signs, physical examination, ECG, and routine laboratory tests that could interfere with subject safety, or pain and functional assessments, as determined by the Investigator.

Exclusion Criteria:

• 1. The subject had a history of trauma, and the injury affected the knee joint.

2. Subject who has secondary OA of the knee or OA of lower limb joints other than the knee that in the opinion of the Investigator, could interfere with pain and functional assessments related to the knee.

3. Subject who has a history of total or partial knee replacement, arthroplasty, or other knee surgery on either knee.

14. Subject has any clinically significant unstable cardiac, respiratory, neurological, immunological, hematological, or renal disease, or any other condition that, in the investigators opinion, could compromise the subjects welfare, ability to communicate with the study staff, or otherwise contraindicate study participation.

15. Subject has a significant renal or hepatic disease, as indicated by clinical laboratory assessment,defined as

1. aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase≥3 × the upper limit of normal

2. creatinine ≥1.5 × ULN

3. hemoglobin<10g/dL.

16. Subject has any other clinically significant laboratory finding at Screening that in the investigators opinion contraindicates study participation.

17. Subject is receiving systemic chemotherapy, has an active malignancy of any type, or has been diagnosed with cancer within 5 years before Screening (excluding squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin).
