First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new drug called HRS-2129 in 200 people with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis pain. Participants will receive either HRS-2129, a placebo, or an active comparator (celecoxib) to see if it reduces pain and improves joint function. The study is double-blind, meaning neither patients nor doctors know who gets what, to ensure unbiased results.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new pain relief option for people with knee osteoarthritis.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 1 study with only 200 people, so it's too soon to know if HRS-2129 works or is safe. Many drugs fail at this stage.
