CliniExperts Conducted Successful Study for ALFLUTOP® in Indian Patients

 CliniExperts Research Services Pvt. Ltd. today announced the successful completion of an 8‑week, Phase III clinical trial evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ALFLUTOP® solution for injections in Indian patients suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee. This prospective, randomized, double‑blind, multicentric study was conducted at seven sites across India and marks a significant step in validating the therapeutic benefits of ALFLUTOP® in the local population.



Study Overview and Key Findings

The study focused on patients aged 40 to 75 years with moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis. Participants were randomized to receive either ALFLUTOP® in combination with the standard of care (SOC) or SOC alone for a treatment period of 20 days—with the full study extending to 56 days. The primary endpoint was the change in WOMAC pain scores, a widely used metric to assess pain, stiffness, and functional impairments in osteoarthritis patients.

Key outcomes included:

  • WOMAC Pain Score Reduction: Patients receiving ALFLUTOP® + SOC experienced a 29.4% reduction at Week 4 and a 45.7% reduction at Week 8, compared to 11.9% and 33.2% respectively in the SOC arm.
  • Quality of Life Improvements: Significant enhancements were observed across multiple quality‑of‑life assessments, including the OMERACT-OARSI scale, EQ-5D, Investigator Global Assessment (IGA), and Patient Global Health Questionnaires (PGHQ).
  • Safety Profile: Out of 218 evaluable subjects, 65 adverse events were reported among 47 subjects, all classified as mild. No serious adverse events were observed, underscoring the strong tolerability of ALFLUTOP®.

Product and Clinical Relevance

ALFLUTOP® is a natural chondroprotective biotherapeutic with anti‑inflammatory properties. With over 27 years of market presence and an excellent safety record globally, ALFLUTOP® has benefited millions of patients. However, its performance in the Indian population had not been fully established until this pivotal study by CliniExperts. The results indicate that ALFLUTOP® not only offers superior pain relief compared to standard treatments but also improves overall patient well‑being.

Trial Summary

This rigorously designed Phase III trial confirms that ALFLUTOP®, when used as an adjunct to the standard of care, can significantly reduce pain and improve mobility in osteoarthritis patients. The statistically significant differences (p < 0.0001) between treatment arms validate the efficacy of ALFLUTOP® and support its potential market entry in India. CliniExperts’ robust study design and adherence to ethical and regulatory standards further strengthen the credibility of these findings.
