PG - 914-924 LID - 10.1097/AJP.0000000000000986 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tanezumab for the treatment of patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science were searched from inception to July 2020. Randomized-controlled trials comparing tanezumab with placebo or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in patients with OA. Two investigators identified studies and independently extracted data, and conventional meta-analyses were conducted with Review Manager 5.3. The outcomes were pain relief, functional improvement, and risk of adverse events (AEs). RESULTS: A total of 8 articles, comprising 9 randomized-controlled trials, were included. Overall, tanezumab was superior to placebo for relieving pain and improving function, as well as in the patient's global assessment. Tanezumab also had significant advantages over nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for relieving pain and improving function, as well as in the patient's global assessment. Significantly more patients discontinued treatment because of AEs after treatment with tanezumab. However, the differences in serious AEs and total joint replacement were not significant. Moreover, tanezumab-treated patients experienced significantly more rapid progression of osteoarthritis. DISCUSSION: Tanezumab can alleviate pain and improve function for patients with OA of the hip or knee. Although tanezumab does not cause serious AEs, rapid progression of OA occurred in a small number of participants, so more clinical trials are needed to explore its safety.
