3 Why Prevent Osteoarthri$s? Most common form of arthri$s Important cause of ac$vity limita$on, physical disability, work loss and reduced health- related quality of life in older adults Most common indica$on for total joint arthroplasty Costs approach 1-2% of GNP in developed countries Associated with excess mortality Reduced physical ac$vity Comorbidi$es Use of medica$ons to treat symptoms of OA Current treatment unsa$sfactory in many pa$ents

8 Risk Factors for Knee OA Systema$c review of studies thru 1/3/2008 Included case- control and cohort studies Methodologic quality assessed Case defini$on Symptoma$c knee OA Radiographic knee OA Data extracted for strength of associa$on Blagojevic M et al: Osteoarthritis Cart 2010;18:24-33.
9 Risk Factors for Knee OA Variable No. studies OR (95% CI) Overweight (1.86, 2.55) Obese (2.28, 3.05) Prior knee injury (2.61, 5.70) Female gender (1.32, 2.55) Heberden s nodes (1.05, 2.10) Smoking (0.74, 0.95) Other factors associated with knee OA include increasing age; genetic predisposition, occupational activities (e.g., kneeling, squatting, climbing steps, standing > 2 hrs/day and lifting); higher BMD; and prior h/o meniscectomy. Blagojevic M et al: Osteoarthritis Cart 2010;18:24-33.
10 MRFIT- OA: Proposed Interven$ons Weight loss Nutri$onal counseling, reduced caloric intake and increased physical ac$vity (exericise) With or without pharmacologic agents Lorcaserin (Belviq, Arena Pharmaceu$cals GmbH) Phenterimine + Topiramate ER (Qsymia, Vivus Inc.) Orlistat (Alli, GlaxoSmithKline) Nutri$onal supplements Controversial efficacy but no safety signals in established disease
11 Weight Loss for OA History of weight loss was associated with reduced odds of symptoma$c radiographic knee OA Felson DT, et al: Ann Intern Med 1992;116: All professional socie$es recommend weight reduc$on for pa$ents with knee OA Pa$ents with knee OA who are overweight should be encouraged to lose weight and maintain their weight at a lower level.
12 Weight Loss for OA Systema$c review of 4 RCTs with data on 454 pa$ents with knee OA Mean weight loss of 6.1 kg (range: kg) Pooled es$mates for reduc$on in pain ES = 0.20 (95% CI ) Pooled es$mates for improvement in func$on ES = 0.23 (95% CI ) Christensen R, et al. Ann Rheum Dis 2007; 66:433-9

17 Weight loss is associated with structure modifica$on in subjects with radiographic osteoarthri$s of the knee: Data from the Osteoarthri$s Ini$a$ve M.C. Hochberg 1,2, D. Bujak 1, K. Favors 1,2, J.D. Sorkin 1,2 and J. Duryea 3 1 University of Maryland School of Medicine and 2 VA Maryland Health Care System, Bal$more, MD; and 3 Brigham & Women s Hospital, Boston, MA.
18 Objec$ve To test the hypothesis that weight loss would be associated with a slower rate of decline in minimum joint space width (mjsw) in the medial $biofemoral compartment in subjects with radiographic knee OA enrolled in the OAI.
19 Results 1 Data from 2683 subjects with RKOA (KL > 2) were included in analysis. Mean (SD) age 62.1 (9.1) years Mean (SD) weight 83.9 (16.0) kg Mean (SD) BMI Mean (SD) WOMAC Pain Score 29.6 (4.8) 3.35 (3.56) kg/m 2 Nu Mean (SD) mjsw 3.97 (1.46) mm Mean (SE) annual rate of decline JSW mjsw JSW(0.225) Difference (95% CI) Mean (SD) JSW(0.25) 5.36 (1.54) mm (0.0052) mm (0.0051) mm (0.007, 0.036) mm
20 Results 2 Change in mjsw was significantly inversely related to weight change in mul$ple variable adjusted random effects models No significant difference in rate of decline in both mjsw and JSW(0.225) by per unit change in weight
21 mjsw: Results of Random Effects Model Effect B SE T value P value Intercept Weight < Time < V Age < WOMAC Pain < On pain meds Simultaneously adjusted for gender, race/ethnicity and site.
22 JSW(0.225): Results of Random Effects Model Effect B SE T value P value Intercept Weight < Time < V < Age < WOMAC Pain < On pain meds Simultaneously adjusted for gender, race/ethnicity and site.
23 Summary These data demonstrate an associa$on between weight loss and a reduc$on in the rate of decline in both mjsw and JSW(0.225) in subjects with radiographic knee OA enrolled in the OAI. These results suggest that clinically important weight loss (> 6 kg) may have structure modifying effects, in persons with radiographic knee OA.
24 Limita$ons Observa$onal study Rela$vely small amount of weight change observed over 48 months Most subjects had KL grade 2 at baseline Mean annual rate of decline in mjsw was < 0.10 mm. Did not analyze effect of weight change on car$lage thickness or volume as measured by MRI
25 Nutri$onal Supplements for OA Results of meta- analyses of RCTs for efficacy of glucosamine and chondroi$n sulfate alone or in combina$on on pain are controversial. Evidence of small significant effect on rate of decline in joint space width. Preliminary data suggest possible effect on rate of decline in car$lage volume.

27 The Cochrane Review of glucosamine in OA: Glucosamine vs placebo - Pain - Towheed T, et al. Cochrane Database 2009; issue 2
28 Heterogeneity in Glucosamine RCTs Mainly due to 3 factors: Differences in study design and/or quality Was there adequate alloca$on concealment? Differences in the glucosamine salt, formula$on and/or dosage Differences in source of funding
29 Glucosamine Sulfate: Summary of Efficacy for Symptom Modifica$on Crystalline glucosamine sulfate is efficacious for reducing pain and improving func$on in pa$ents with symptoma$c knee OA Subjects who received crystalline glucosamine sulfate had a lower rate of adverse events compared with those who received NSAIDs Towheed T, et al.

36 Chondroi$n for Knee or Hip OA Effects on radiologic joint space width 5 RCTs provided informa$on Difference of 0.16 mm (0.08, 0.24) for minimum JSW and 0.23 mm (0.09, 0.37) for mean JSW c/w placebo Small effect sizes (< 0.2 units) LiJle heterogeneity (I 2 = 8% and 21%) Reichenback S et al: Ann Intern Med 2007;146:
37 Meta- analysis: Objec$ves To update the prior meta- analysis with newly published data from studies of 2 years dura$on To determine the effects of orally administered chondroi$n sulfate on structure modifica$on, as measured by change in the rate of decline in minimum joint space width over 2 years, in pa$ents with symptoma$c knee OA.

41 Summary Results consistent with a small significant effect on reduc$on in rate of decline in minimum joint space width among pa$ents with knee OA assigned to chondroi$n sulfate compared to those assigned to placebo Results are robust even when data from GAIT are included in meta- analysis
42 Combina$on of Glucosamine and Chondroi$n Sulfate Chondroi$n sulfate (CS) and glucosamine (G) are widely prescribed as medicines in Europe and are available as over- the- counter (OTC) nutri$onal supplements in the U.S. There is ongoing debate about the efficacy of CS and G in the treatment of knee OA largely based on interpreta$on of results from meta- analyses. There are lijle data, however, on the efficacy of the combina$on of CS and G in the treatment of pa$ents with OA.

47 PATIENTS" STUDY DESIGN" Ø Participants are from the OAI progression cohort." 1,390 participants from the OAI progression cohort" Ø Ø 24 consecutive-month follow-up with complete radiographic and MRI data for the most symptomatic knee, based on the highest WOMAC pain score, at the onset of the study (Time [T]0)." The participants were stratified into two main groups based on whether (+) or not (-) standard pharmacological treatment for OA (including analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]) was taken for disease symptoms over a continuous period of 24 months. " Analgesic/NSAIDs n=300" 751 participants with follow-up for 24 consecutive months " (X-rays, MRI)" 600 participants included" 639 not followed for 24 consecutive months" 151 excluded for MRI related reasons (11: poor quality MRI, 96: missing one MRI, 39: did not have MRI of target knee) and 5: total knee replacement during the follow-up" +Analgesic/NSAIDs" n=300" Ø Moreover, these two groups were further stratified into subgroups based on whether or not subjects reported using a combination of Glu and CS." +Glu/CS" n=90" -Glu/CS" n=210" +Glu/CS" n=113" -Glu/CS" n=187" Martel- Pelle$er J, et al: EULAR 2013.
48 RESULTS and CONCLUSION Subjects who reported taking G+CS had significantly less loss of car$lage volume in the $bial plateau at both 12- and 24- months Significant in those with baseline mjsw > 3.6 mm but not in those with baseline mjsw < 3.6 mm. Data from this study provide support for the possible structure modifying effects of the G+CS combina$on in knee osteoarthri$s subjects. Subjects with milder structural changes would benefit more from the combina$on of G+CS than subjects with more advanced structural disease. Martel- Pelle$er J, et al: EULAR 2013.
