This review discusses the need for disease modifying drugs (DMOADs) for the management of osteoarthritis (OA), the classification of clinical phenotypes or molecular/mechanistic endotypes for targeted drug discovery, and summarizes the efficacy and safety of targeted drugs in Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials targeting cartilage-driven, bone-driven, and inflammation-driven endotypes. The reasons for failures in OA clinical trials and possible steps to overcome these barriers are also briefly presented.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex heterogeneous articular disease with multiple joint tissue involvement of varying severity and no regulatory-agency-approved disease modifying drugs (DMOADs). In this review, we discuss the reasons necessitating the development of DMOADs for OA management, the classifications of clinical phenotypes or molecular/mechanistic endotypes from the viewpoint of targeted drug discovery, and then summarize the efficacy and safety profile of a range of targeted drugs in Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials directed to cartilage-driven, bone-driven, and inflammation-driven endotypes. Finally, we briefly put forward the reasons for failures in OA clinical trials and possible steps to overcome these barriers.
