Insights to Help You Design Better OA Clinical Trials
If you’re designing clinical trials in OA, you probably have questions about the placebo response – and Cognivia has answers.
The placebo response has been estimated to comprise more than 60% of the measured treatment effect in chronic pain (Hauser, et al., Pain 2011), making it difficult to demonstrate true drug efficacy. Through the research conducted at Cognivia, we’ve accumulated insights on the placebo response that also impact clinical trial design. We’d love to share our data to help you address the placebo response, design successful clinical trials, and get OA patients the treatment and relief they need.
Set up a meeting
Members of our team will be attending OARSI 2022, World Congress on Osteoarthritis, from April 6 to 10 in Berlin, Germany. Let’s meet to discuss how we can bring more insights to your OA clinical trial.

Top Issues in OA Clinical Trial Design
How can the Placebo Response Be Better Managed in OA Clinical Trials?
Placebell is Cognivia’s AI-based method to predict and account for individual patients’ placebo responsiveness in clinical trials. By combining baseline patient data and psychology with a predictive algorithm trained in chronic pain, Placebell defines patient placebo responsiveness as a score that can be used as a covariate in the statistical analysis. This low-risk approach improves the ability to detect statistically significant differences between drug treatment and placebo – and it’s proven in OA, too. Explore the data below to see how Placebell has worked in sponsored OA clinical trials.

Interesting data, right?
Let’s talk about it at OARSI 2022.
Is Pain Reporting Training Enough to Manage the Placebo Response?
The assessment of pain is, by nature, subjective – and the risk is high that patients will evaluate it inconsistently. Reducing this inconsistency could help OA clinical trials better understand the placebo and treatment responses. While this approach is routinely taken, is it enough to reduce OA clinical trial failure?

Should Placebo Responders Be Excluded from RCTs?
One strategy to contend with the placebo response problem in OA trials is to identify potential high placebo responders – for example, using placebo lead-in periods – and exclude them from randomized clinical trials (RCTs). This makes good sense on the surface, but is will it actually benefit your trial?
