Hand Osteoarthritis Drug Trial – request for support
Are you seeing someone with painful hand osteoarthritis? Would they be eligible for the HOPE-e study? HOPE-e is a 28-week feasibility study of a randomised placebo-controlled trial testing the effects of a once daily form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), (conjugated estrogens + bazedoxifene) on hand pain in postmenopausal women with hand OA. Study sites are Oxford and London, so eligible participants would need to be prepared to travel to either centre (travel would be re-imbursed).
