Participants are randomized 1:1:1 to intraarticular steroid or saline injections in the CMC-1 joint or a multimodal occupational therapy intervention. The primary outcomes are thumb base pain measured on a numeric rating scale (NRS, range: 0–10) after 4 weeks and 12 weeks. Key secondary outcomes include synovitis by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) after 4 weeks and hand function by the Measure of Activity Performance of the Hand (MAP-Hand) questionnaire after 12 and 24 weeks. Other secondary outcomes are synovitis by clinical examination and ultrasound, measures of pain, function, stiffness, and health-related quality of life, and direct and indirect costs. Adverse events are recorded at each visit. The duration of the randomized controlled trial is 24 weeks, followed by an 80-week open-label observational phase to investigate the long-term efficacy and safety of repeated steroid injections and the occupational therapy intervention.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>The results from this trial will have important clinical implications and influence future guidelines on OA management of the CMC-1 joint.</div></div><div><h3>Clinical trial registration</h3><div>EU-CT 2023-505254-17-00, NCT06084364.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74377,"journal":{"name":"Osteoarthritis and cartilage open","volume":"7 1","pages":"Article 100542"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142721827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All participants performed the 30s Single Leg Mini Squat test and 30s Sit-to-Stand test with simultaneous recording of joint kinematics. Individuals with KOA completed the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score and Forgotten Joint Score-12. Proteins were determined by quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) in plasma. Principal component analysis (PCA), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and Reactome enrichment analysis of the proteome were conducted to identify activated pathways and groups.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Performance-based function was worse in individuals with KOA compared to controls, and they reported higher levels of pain. MS analysis identified 82 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in KOA (28 upregulated, 54 downregulated of 321 detected proteins). PCA displayed distinct features between KOA and controls, similar to HCA, which distinguished two major clusters. Enrichment analysis displayed platelet activation and degranulation, neutrophil, and extracellular matrix (ECM)-related pathways. From the proteome, 23 DEPs were associated with different aspects of joint function, and 25 DEPs with PROM.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Individuals with KOA differed from controls across all three assessment modalities; they presented worse joint function, higher levels of pain, and an altered plasma protein profile.
