  • Female subjects must be of non-childbearing potential and have a negative pregnancy test at Screening.
  • Osteoarthritis of the knee of at least 6 months duration and meeting the American College of Rheumatology Criteria.

  • Willing and able to discontinue all current analgesic therapy, including OTC pain medications and topical analgesics for OA pain, for period beginning with washout phase (lasting 2 days or 5 half-lives of patient's current analgesic medication prior to Day -6) and continuing for the entire duration of study. As an exception, acetaminophen may be used for non-joint related pain at doses ≤1 g/day at the discretion of a qualified member of the study team.
  • If a subject has evidence or a history of clinically significant endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, psychiatric, or neurological disease, the investigator must confirm that the disease is stable (at least 4 weeks) and under control.
  • QTc interval ≤450 msec and a PR interval ≤210 msec on Screening ECG.

Exclusion

  • Pregnant or lactating females, and females of childbearing potential.
  • Arthroscopy performed on index knee within 1 year of screening.
  • Active depression as defined by or meeting The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) of \>10.

  • First degree or higher AV block, defined as PR interval \>210 msecs, bundle branch block, fascicular block or intraventricular conduction delay or clinically relevant abnormality on screening ECG.
  • Active malignancy of any type or history of a malignancy within 10 years (with the exception of subjects with a history of treated basal cell carcinoma).
  • Symptomatic OA of the hip ipsilateral to index knee which the patient considers more painful than the knee.
  • Use of prohibited medications as listed below, in the absence of appropriate washout period. The following analgesic agents must be discontinued within 48 hours or 5 half lives of the analgesic being washed out prior to the baseline period (Day -6 to Day 0);
  • NSAIDs and selective COX-2 inhibitors;
  • Acetaminophen ( as an exception acetaminophen may be used for non-joint related pain at doses ≤1g/day);
  • Opioids.
  • Oral or I/M corticosteroids within 4 weeks prior to screening. I/A steroids within 12 weeks prior to baseline in study joint or any other joints within 4 weeks prior to baseline, or I/A hyaluronic acid within 24 weeks prior to baseline;
  • Use of concomitant medications that are CYP3A inhibitors or CYP3A inducers, or that are P-glycoprotein substrates within 48 hours or 5 half lives prior to baseline.
