WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS?
Definition:
It is a degenerative, inflammatory and chronic arthropathy that
affects all joint structures (Hyaline cartilage, subchondral bone
and synovial membrane).

INTRODUCTION:
Symptomatic slow acting drugs for OA (SYSADOA) have a
slow onset of action but have additional benefits such as global
efficacy similar to NSAIDs and a carry-over effect (the effect lasts
for months even after treatment suppression).
Moreover, these drugs have a high safety profile and the ratio
cost/effectiveness is low.
The main SYSADOAs are chondroitin sulfate (CS), glucosamine
sulfate (GLU) and hyaluronic acid (HA).
They are specially indicated in elderly patients, often
polymedicated.
SYSADOAs, apart from their symptomatic effect, also have a
structure disease modifying effect slowing OA progression.

Arzneim-Forsch / Drug Res 2000, 50 (1),148-153.
In a rat model, CS reduced synovitis and
articular cartilage destruction associated to
chronic inflammation.
The results show that oral CS prevented
articular cartilage destruction and reduced
severity of poli-arthritis induced in rats.
CLINICAL EVIDENCE
EVIDENCE
CLINICAL
9 randomized, controlled, clinical trials have been
conducted in Europe with Condrosan® /
Condrosulf®, comparing its effect against placebo
(PBO) and sodium diclofenac (SD) (150 mg) in 1163
patients with knee and hand osteoarthritis (OA)5-13.
The results from these clinical trials conclude that CS is
as effective as SD and around 50% more effective
than PBO in the reduction of OA symptoms5,14,15.
Besides, its efficacy lasts for at least 3 months after
treatment suppression.

S/DMOAD
S/DMOAD
CS may act as a structure disease
modifying OA drug (S/DMOAD), that is, it
may slow down disease progression16.
3 clinical trials in knee OA have evidenced
a stabilization of joint space with CS
treatment as opposed to a narrowing of
joint space with PBO9-11.
2 clinical trials in hand OA concluded that
disease progression was lower in CStreated patients and less patients from
this group developed erosive OA12-13.

CLINICAL BIOEQUIVALENCE
BIOEQUIVALENCE II
CLINICAL
The clinical trials mentioned before have been conducted with
one specific CS formulation, which is approved as a
drug in several European countries.
This CS, which is manufactured by BIOIBERICA, meets the
highest quality standards, as for the origin and
pureness of the raw material, manufacturing process
(GMP, GLPs), safety requirements (viral inactivation), etc.
It has also been approved as a reference standard by the
US Pharmacopeia for being the highest quality product in
the market.
For these reasons, this CS was the one chosen by the NIH
for its Glucosamine/Chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial
(GAIT)17.

CLINICAL
A study analysing the contents of
glucosamine and CS of several US
products, concluded that the
amounts found were
significantly different from
label claim in some products,
with deviations from 0 to 115%18.
It also evidenced that
characteristics such as: molecular
weight, flexibility of structure,
sulfation and method of
manufacture may influence
oral absorption.
Among all products compared, the
one from Bioibérica evidenced
the highest permeability rate.
Different parameters have been
established to determine CS

CONCLUSIONS GAIT-NIH
•
Patients with mild pain (low WOMAC) are difficult to value
because the placebo effect is very high. More patients should
be needed in order to achieve a lower placebo effect.
•
Positive facts:
1. CS works good in patients with K&L grade II.
2. CS works good in patients with joint effusion.
3. Combination (CS plus GLU) has excellent results in
patients with moderate-to-severe pain with an efficacy
10% higher than COX-2.
CONCLUSIONS GAIT-NIH
THIS IS ANOTHER CLINICAL TRIAL THAT
BRINGS NEW FACTS ABOUT EFFICACY AND
SAFETY OF CS AND GLU.
IN ADDITION THERE ARE SUB-GROUPS OF
RESPONDING PATIENTS.

This large, controlled randomized clinical trial confirms that 5
weekly injections of Hyalgan® (HA) in patients with OA
of the knee are generally well tolerated, provide
sustained relief of pain and improved patient function,
and were at least as effective with fewer adverse
reactions as continuous treatment with naproxen for 26
weeks.
These results are not only due to temporary viscoelastic restoration and
give new evidences that HA is a useful tool to treat OA, with a
possible structure modifying activity.

CONCLUSION
According to the reviewed literature we can
state that SYSADOAs are a good alternative
to NSAIDs and analgesics due to their high
efficacy and safety profile. Among them, CS
seems the most interesting product. CS
works at the three structures of the joint
(cartilage, subchondral bone and
synovium).
