Osteoarthritis: Overview Section 2

Burden of Osteoarthritis (OA) Global scenario Indian scenario OA: Osteoarthritis; EPI: Epidemiological. Nearly 80% of patients affected by OA 3 78.27% Uttar Pradesh Andhra Pradesh West Bengal 68% 49.8% 47.3% Delhi 43% Assam Karnataka 41.3% Bihar / Uttarakhand 21.2% 10.2% Maharashtra 56.6% Rural 2 32.6% Urban 2 Asians have a greater risk for knee OA vs. Americans and Europeans. 2 An estimated 250 million people are affected by OA globally. 1 Knee OA accounts ~85% of total OA. 1 Osteoarthritis is a major cause of disability in older adults worldwide. Osteoarthritis: EPI shift pattern A higher prevalence for radiographic osteoarthritis than for symptomatic osteoarthritis, and for knee and hand osteoarthritis than for hip osteoarthritis. 1 A higher prevalence symptomatic knee and hand osteoarthritis noted in women than men 1 The prevalence of OA is increasing globally and its burden will rise continually. 1 The knee is the most common site of OA, followed by the hand and hip. 1 At a global level, OA is a leading cause of disability. 1 Hunter D, et al . Lancet. 2019;393:1745–1759. 2. Venkatachalam J, et al . Indian J Public Health . 2018;62:117–122. 3. Azad CS, et al . Int J Recent Sci Res . 2017;8(10):20918–20922.

Classification of Osteoarthritis Primary osteoarthritis It arises due to specific cause (factors that damage cartilage). 2  Risk factors for secondary osteoarthritis: 1 Congenital joint structure abnormalities (e.g. hypermobility and abnormally shaped joint surfaces) Trauma (obesity, fractures along joint surfaces, and surgery) Crystal deposition Presence of abnormal cartilage Gout, rheumatoid and septic arthritis     It is mechanical consequence of wear and tear of the articular cartilage 1 It is associated with aging and occurs in older age 1,2 It is a more commonly diagnosed form of arthritis 1 1.

Genetic factors responsible for hand OA in 60% of cases, knee and hip OA in 40% of cases 2 Genetic susceptibility Lower levels of vitamins D, C, and K lead to OA. 2 Diet Osteoarthritis affects every age group; the prevalence rises dramatically in men aged >50 years and women aged >40 years. 1 Age Women are more prone to OA. 2 Gender BMI >30 kg/m 2 or e very 5-unit increase in BMI is strongly associated with the risk of knee OA. 2 Obesity Early-onset knee OA due to rupture of anterior cruciate ligament 2 Injury Risk Factors for Osteoarthritis OA; Osteoarthritis.

Clinical Features of Osteoarthritis Pain Stiffness Locomotor restriction Early morning stiffness (short-lived <30 min) Inactivity-related stiffness of short duration (gelling may occur) Abhishek A, Doherty M. Rheum Dis Clin North Am . 2013;39(1):45 – 66. Pain worse with joint use and relieved by rest Pain may be intermittent and relapsing Pain intensity varies all over the day and the week Symptoms of osteoarthritis Locomotor restriction and functional impairment: Depend on the site and severity of OA Knee or hip OA: Impair ability to get up from a chair and walk Carpometacarpal joint OA: May cause difficulty in gripping Osteoarthritis symptoms can vary depending on the cause and location of the problem. OA: Osteoarthritis.

Clinical Features of Osteoarthritis Abhishek A and Doherty M. Rheum Dis Clin North Am . 2013;39(1):45 – 66. Signs of osteoarthritis Joint effusion: If present, usually small and cool Joint-line tenderness : Evident around the joint (suggests articular disorder) Periarticular tenderness : A way from joint line and evident in knee and hip No palpable warmth Crepitus : Crunching sensation or sound due to friction between damaged articular cartilages Decreased range of movement : Due to marginal osteophytosis and capsular thickening Bony swelling : Caused by bony remodeling, marginal osteophytosis, and joint subluxation Bony deformity : Signs of joint damage Muscle wasting : Suggests advanced stage of OA Appearance Feeling Movement OA: Osteoarthritis.

Investigations Case Continued... Investigations On inspection: No erythema, bruising, or discoloration of left knee was noted. Slight bulging was seen on the medial aspect of left knee joint. Popliteal bulging was seen at at the posterior aspect of left knee. Musculature of both knees appeared bilaterally symmetrical. No bone deformity was observed. On palpation : T he left knee joint was not warm or tender. Mild effusion was felt. Range of movement of the left knee was reduced. Crepitus was noted in both legs. Pedal pulses were present. Findings of radiography of knee were suggestive of osteoarthritis of left knee

History of injury, trauma, previous surgery, medications, occupation, and symptoms 1 Physical examination for presence of crepitus, restricted or painful movement and joint tenderness 1,2 Identifying effects of OA on quality of life, mood, occupation, and sleep 3 Osteoarthritis can be diagnosed clinically based on history and physical examination. 1 Diagnosis of Osteoarthritis : History and Physical Examination Lespasio MJ, et al .

Etoricoxib in the treatment of osteoarthritis over 52-weeks: a double-blind, active-comparator controlled trial [NCT00242489]. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders. 2005 Dec;6(1):1-0. Conclusion: Etoricoxib , at doses ranging from 30 to 60 mg, demonstrated a maintenance of significant clinical efficacy in patients with OA through 52 weeks of treatment Etoricoxib displayed clinical efficacy similar to diclofenac 150 mg and was generally well tolerated

Etoricoxib 30mg vs. Celecoxib 200mg in the Treatment of OA To compare the efficacy of etoricoxib 30 mg with the generally maximum recommended dose of celecoxib, 200 mg, in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) in two identically designed studies OA: Osteoarthritis, NSAID: Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug, qd : quaque die, OD: once daily Bingham III CO, Sebba AI, Rubin BR, Ruoff GE, Kremer J, Bird S, Smugar SS, Fitzgerald BJ, O’Brien K, Tershakovec AM. Efficacy and safety of etoricoxib 30 mg and celecoxib 200 mg in the treatment of osteoarthritis in two identically designed, randomized, placebo-controlled, non-inferiority studies. Rheumatology. 2007 Mar 1;46(3):496-507. Two multi- centre , 26-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, non-inferiority studies were conducted, enrolling patients who were prior non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or acetaminophen users Study 1 599 patients Study 2 608 patients Randomized 4:4:1:1 to etoricoxib 30 mg qd , celecoxib 200 mg qd OR one of two placebo groups Placebo patients were evenly distributed to etoricoxib or celecoxib based on their initial enrollment randomization schedule 12 weeks

Etoricoxib 30mg vs. Celecoxib 200mg in the Treatment of OA Primary hypothesis: Etoricoxib 30 mg would be at least as effective as celecoxib 200 mg for the time-weighted average change from baseline over 12 weeks for: Western Ontario and McMaster (WOMAC) Pain Subscale WOMAC Physical Function Subscale Patient Global Assessment of Disease Status Bingham III CO, Sebba AI, Rubin BR, Ruoff GE, Kremer J, Bird S, Smugar SS, Fitzgerald BJ, O’Brien K, Tershakovec AM.

Rheumatology. 2007 Mar 1;46(3):496-507. In both studies, etoricoxib was non-inferior to celecoxib for all three efficacy outcomes over 12 and 26 weeks; both were superior to placebo (P<0.001) for all three outcomes in each study over 12 weeks

Etoricoxib Improves Pain, Function and Quality of Life: Results of a Real-world Effectiveness Trial Multicenter, prospective, open-label, single-arm study OA patients (n = 500) taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or other analgesics who had inadequate response as determined by their physicians (≥ 40 mm on a 0–100 mm pain scale) were switched directly to etoricoxib 60 mg once daily for 4 weeks without prior medication washout Results: 52% of patients reported a clinically meaningful reduction (≥ 30%) for WOMAC pain walking on a flat surface In the post hoc analysis, examining the subgroup with patient-reported baseline pain intensity >= 40 mm, the percentage of responders (n = 240) increased to 66.4% The most commonly reported adverse event was peripheral edema of the leg, hand, eyelid or face (4.2%) Conclusion: In OA patients experiencing inadequate relief from a wide variety of analgesics, pain, function, quality of life, and treatment satisfaction significantly improved when switched to etoricoxib Lin Hy, Cheng TT, Wang JH, Lee CS, Chen MH, Lei V, Lac C, Gammaitoni AR, Smugar SS, CHEN WJ.

Cardiovascular outcomes with etoricoxib and diclofenac in patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in the Multinational Etoricoxib and Diclofenac Arthritis Long-term (MEDAL) programme : a randomised comparison. The Lancet. 2006 Nov 18;368(9549):1771-81. Objective: To provide a precise estimate of thrombotic cardiovascular events with the COX-2 selective inhibitor etoricoxib versus the traditional NSAID diclofenac Pooled analysis of data from three trials in which patients with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis were randomly assigned to etoricoxib (60 mg or 90 mg daily) or diclofenac (150 mg daily) Background: Cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitors have been associated with an increased risk of thrombotic cardiovascular events in placebo-controlled trials No clinical trial has been reported with the primary aim of assessing relative cardiovascular risk of these drugs compared with traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) The MEDAL programme was designed to provide a precise estimate of thrombotic cardiovascular events with the COX-2 selective inhibitor etoricoxib versus the traditional NSAID diclofenac

MEDAL Programme : Cardiovascular outcomes of Etoricoxib and Diclofenac The MEDAL programme was done between June, 2002, and May, 2006, at 1380 sites in 46 countries The MEDAL programme was prospectively designed to pool data from three randomised , double-blind clinical trials: the MEDAL study, the Etoricoxib versus Diclofenac Sodium Gastrointestinal Tolerability and Effectiveness (EDGE) study, and the EDGE II study Cannon CP, Curtis SP, FitzGerald GA, Krum H, Kaur A, Bolognese JA, Reicin AS, Bombardier C, Weinblatt ME, Van Der Heijde D, Erdmann E.

MEDAL Programme : Cardiovascular outcomes of Etoricoxib and Diclofenac Cannon CP, Curtis SP, FitzGerald GA, Krum H, Kaur A, Bolognese JA, Reicin AS, Bombardier C, Weinblatt ME, Van Der Heijde D, Erdmann E. Cardiovascular outcomes with etoricoxib and diclofenac in patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in the Multinational Etoricoxib and Diclofenac Arthritis Long-term (MEDAL) programme : a randomised comparison. The Lancet. 2006 Nov 18;368(9549):1771-81. Conclusion: Rates of thrombotic cardiovascular events in patients with arthritis on etoricoxib are similar to those in patients on diclofenac with long-term use of these drugs Results: 34701 patients (24913 with osteoarthritis and 9787 with rheumatoid arthritis) were enrolled Average treatment duration was 18 months 320 patients in the etoricoxib group and 323 in the diclofenac group had thrombotic cardiovascular events, yielding event rates of 1·24 and 1·30 per 100 patient-years - a hazard ratio of 0·95 (95% CI 0·81–1·11) for etoricoxib compared with diclofenac Rates of upper gastrointestinal clinical events (perforation, bleeding, obstruction, ulcer) were lower with etoricoxib than with diclofenac ( 0·67 vs 0·97 per 100 patient-years) (hazard ratio 0·69 [0·57–0·83]), but the rates of complicated upper gastrointestinal events were similar for etoricoxib (0·30) and diclofenac (0·32).

Etoricoxib vs. nonselective NSAIDs Upper GI AEs in clinical trials : an updated combined analysis GI: Gastro Intestinal, AE: Adverse Events, NSAIDs-Non- Steroidsl Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, PUB: Peptic Ulcer Bleeding Adapted from Dena R. Ramey, Douglas J. Watson, Chang Yu, James A. Bolognese, Sean P. Curtis & Alise S. Reicin (2005) The incidence of upper gastrointestinal adverse events in clinical trial s of etoricoxib vs. non-selective NSAIDs: an updated combined analysis, Current Medical Research and Opinion, 21:5, 715-722, DOI: 10.1185/030079905X43686 NSAID* diclofenac, Naproxen , Ibuprofen n=5441, 10 studies The overall relative risk for Etoricoxib vs. NSAIDs was 0.48 (95% CI 0.32, 0.73)

This study demonstrates that COX-2 specific inhibition etoricoxib is associated with a significantly lower risk of PUBs relative to non-selective NSAIDs. The risk reduction with etoricoxib pertained to important subgroups of patients with and without risk factors for PUB and in patients using concomitant gastroprotective therapy. Etoricoxib may provide an effective alternative for patients at high risk of gastrointestinal complications with non-selective NSAIDs.

Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken ). 2012;64(4):465–474. American College of Rheumatology recommends oral and topical NSAIDs drugs for osteoarthritis of the hand and knee 4 Piroxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug of the oxicam derivative. 1,2 It is chemically unique from other NSAIDs with longer half-life. 1,2 It blocks cyclooxygease enzymes which further inhibits the production of prostaglandin, which is the main mediator of pain. 1,2 NSAIDs: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug

Pharmacokinetic Properties of Piroxicam Orally well absorbed, reaches peak plasma concentration within 3 to 5 hours Produces peak plasma levels of 1.5 µ g/mL to 2 µg /mL Upon daily administration (20 mg), attains maximum drug plasma concentrations (usually stabilize at 3 µg /mL to 8 µg /mL) No effect on plasma levels when co-administered with antacids Local product document of Dolonex® LPDDLN032019. Absorption Bioavailability of the injectable form with the oral capsules after intramuscular administration of piroxicam: Plasma levels are significantly higher than those obtained after ingestion of capsules during the 45 minutes; following administration the first day, during 30 minutes the second day and 15 minutes on the seventh day. Bioequivalence exists between the two dosage forms. Metabolism of piroxicam occurs by hydroxylation. Cytochrome P450 (CYP2C9) is the main enzyme involved in the metabolism of piroxicam, in the liver. Plasma half life ≈ 50 hours, in men. Excreted in urine and feces. Approximately 5% of the piroxicam dose is excreted unchanged. Distribution Metabolism Excretion

Zizic TM, et al . Semin Arthritis Rheum. 1985 Feb;14(3 Suppl 1):14-9. . Long-term Efficacy and Safety of Piroxicam in the Treatment of Osteoarthritis (1/2) A total of 30 patients (all women, age 53–86 years ) All patients had either knee or hip involvement, and some had additional joints affected as well. Piroxicam 20 mg/day; n = 30 To establish the continued efficacy and safety of long-term, continuous piroxicam therapy in an elderly population of patients with osteoarthritis Study objective Study design and patients Outcome In all, 28 (93%) of the 30 patients reported feeling well at the last evaluation visit, while 12 (40%) of the 30 females stated that they were asymptomatic or had only mild symptoms of OA. Physicians’ overall assessment placed 15 (50%) patients in the asymptomatic or minimal disease activity category. OA: Osteoarthritis.

Long-term Efficacy and Safety of Piroxicam in the Treatment of Osteoarthritis (2/2) The mean total number of painful joints remains low, when the patients are grouped on the basis of duration of piroxicam therapy. The specific activity levels according to duration of therapy confirm the continuing long-term efficacy of piroxicam. Throughout the course of piroxicam therapy , no significant liver toxicity in any of the patients was found. Patients experienced sufficient benefits to prefer remaining on piroxicam (20 mg/day) for a mean of 6 years rather than changing to alternative forms of therapy available to them. Zizic TM, et al .

Summary of Prescribing Information of DOLONEX ® /DOLONEX ® DT/DOLONEX ® IM COMPOSITION: Dolonex 20 mg Capsules: piroxicam 20 mg per capsule; Dolonex 20 mg Dispersible Tablets: piroxicam 20 mg per tablet; Dolonex Intramuscular Solution 1 ml and 2 ml Ampules: piroxicam 20 mg per ml. INDICATIONS: Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis (arthrosis, degenerative joint disease), ankylosing spondylitis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, post-operative and post-traumatic pain, fever and pain associated with acute upper respiratory tract inflammation. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Active peptic ulceration, hypersensitivity to the drug or excipients, patients in whom aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) induce symptoms of asthma, nasal polyps, angioedema, or urticaria as potential for cross sensitivity to aspirin and other NSAIDs exists, peri-operative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, patients with severe renal and hepatic failure, patients with severe heart failure. ADVERSE REACTIONS: Gastrointestinal symptoms are the most common, e.g., stomatitis, anorexia, epigastric distress, nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain/discomfort, flatulence, diarrhoea, indigestion; rarely, dyspnea, gastrointestinal bleeding (including hematemesis and melena), perforation, pancreatitis, and peptic ulceration have been reported. Other side effects include: tinnitus, malaise, palpitation, ankle edema, dizziness, mood alterations, dermal hypersensitivity reactions, metabolic abnormalities, reversible alterations in renal function, aseptic meningitis, changes in hematological and liver function tests. Swollen eyes, blurred vision, and eye irritation have been reported. It can reduce the efficacy of diuretics and other anti-hypertensive drugs including ACE. inhibitors, AIIA and beta-blockers.. Effect of coumarin anticoagulants may be enhanced. Being highly protein-bound, Dolonex may displace other protein-bound drugs; plasma levels of lithium may be increased. Piroxicam interferes with the antiplatelet effect of low-dose aspirin, and thus may interfere with aspirin’s prophylactic treatment of CV disease. WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS: NSAIDs may cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular (CV) thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke, which can be fatal. This risk may increase with duration of use. To minimize the potential risk for an adverse CV event in patients treated with piroxicam, the lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest duration possible. Physicians and patients should remain alert for the development of such events, even in the absence of previous CV symptoms. Patients should be informed about the signs and/or symptoms of serious CV toxicity and the steps to take if they occur Piroxicam can lead to the onset of new hypertension or worsening of pre-existing hypertension. Piroxicam, should be used with caution in patients with hypertension. Blood pressure should be monitored closely during the initiation of therapy with piroxicam and throughout the course of therapy.  Fluid retention and edema have been observed in some patients taking NSAIDs. Therefore, Piroxicam should be used with caution in patients with compromised cardiac function and other conditions predisposing to, or worsened by, fluid retention. Piroxicam can cause serious gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events including inflammation, bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach, small intestine, or large intestine, which can be fatal. Administration of doses of greater than 20 mg/day carries an increased risk of gastrointestinal side effects. Piroxicam may be associated with a high risk of serious gastrointestinal toxicity, relative to other NSAIDs. When GI bleeding or ulceration occurs in patients receiving piroxicam, the treatment should be withdrawn. Piroxicam should be used with caution in patients a risk of developing GI complications such as elderly, patients with CV disease, patients using concomitant corticosteroids, antiplatelet drugs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, patients ingesting alcohol or patients with a prior history of, or active GI disease, such as ulceration, GI bleeding or inflammatory conditions. Dolonex administration in patients with history of upper gastrointestinal disease, hypertension, congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, and overt renal disease, should be carefully monitored. Bleeding time may be prolonged. Concomitant use of other NSAIDs is not advised. Visual complaints during therapy should receive ophthalmic evaluation. To minimize the potential risk for an adverse cardiovascular event or a gastrointestinal event in patients treated with piroxicam, the lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest duration possible. Piroxicam should not be used during the third trimester of Pregnancy. If used during second or third trimester of pregnancy, NSAIDs may cause fetal renal dysfunction which may result in reduction of amniotic fluid volume or oligohydramnios in severe cases. Such effects may occur shortly after treatment initiation and are usually reversible. Pregnant women on piroxicam should be closely monitored for amniotic fluid volume.
