Knee pain 2. At least 1 of the following: i. Age \>50 years ii. Morning stiffness \<30 minutes iii. Crepitus on knee motion c. Osteophytes * Subjects must have K-L Grade 2, 3, or 4 in the index knee based on X-rays performed during Screening and confirmed by trained radiographers at a central facility before enrollment * Subjects need to show the presence of moderate or severe synovitis based on 11-point synovitis score using contrast-enhanced MRI Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects have any current or prior diagnosis of autoimmune connective tissue disorders, secondary OA conditions, benign synovial tumors, gout/pseudogout, reactive arthritis, RA, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease. * Subjects have any active systemic or local infection, including infection of the index knee * Subjects are unable to undergo MRI with contrast MRI * Subjects with X-ray or MRI exclusionary events * Subjects have an unstable index knee joint (eg, torn anterior cruciate ligament) within 12 months of Screening * Subjects have used any approved or investigational IA drug/biologic in index knee within 6 months of Screening (eg, hyaluronic acid, platelet rich plasma, stem cells, prolotherapy, and amniotic fluid injection) * Subjects are receiving or have received any gene therapy treatment (eg, IL-1Ra) in the past 3 years * Subjects have used IA steroids ≤3 months before screening Other protocol-defined criteria apply
