Background. Curene® is a bioavailable formulation of turmeric Curcucma longa extract comprising naturally derived curcuminoids formulated with proprietary Aquasome® technology. Curcuminoids were found to have anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) enzyme and hence have potential application in the treatment of Osteoarthritis (OA). To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Curene® a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel-group study was conducted in subjects with knee OA.

Abstract:
BackgroundDue to its major public health impact, knee osteoarthritis (KOA) has been designated as a serious disease by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Approval of a disease modifying osteoarthritis drug (DMOAD) to slow or prevent disease progression hinges on demonstrating both symptomatic (i.e., how a patient feels or functions) and structural improvement. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), the questionnaire most commonly used to assess symptomatic improvement, may not adequately reflect pain reporting due to KOA. The lack of DMOAD approval
