b

Listed in alphabetical order.

c

Joint effusion (day 131, grade 1, not related to study drug), arthralgia (day 57, grade 2, definitely related to study drug), and joint swelling (day 57, grade 3, not related to study drug) in 1 patient each, and arthralgia, arthritis, joint swelling, and synovial cyst all in 1 patient (day 88, all grade 2 and either not related or unlikely related to study drug). All adverse events (AEs) were index knee related.

d

Joint swelling (day 84, grade 1, not related to study drug), worsening ankle osteoarthritis (OA) (day 37, grade 2, not related to study drug, serious), positive Klebsiella test (day 21, subsequently considered to be a false‐positive finding by the investigator, grade 3, not related to study drug), and synovitis (day 112, grade 3, unlikely related to study drug). All AEs were index knee related except ankle OA.

e

Arthralgia (day 41, grade 3, probably related to study drug); index knee related.

f

Arthralgia.

g

Ankle OA.
