Exclusion Criteria: * As a result of medical review and screening investigation, the Principal Investigator considers the subject unfit for the study * A history of allergic reactions to human albumin (reaction to non-human albumin such as egg albumin is not an exclusion criterion) * A history of allergic reactions to excipients in 5% human albumin (N-acetyltryptophan, sodium caprylate) * Presence of tense effusions * Inflammatory or crystal arthropathies, acute fractures, history of aseptic necrosis or joint replacement in the affected knee, as assessed locally by the Principal Investigator * Isolated patella femoral syndrome, also known as chondromalacia * Any other disease or condition interfering with the free use and evaluation of the study knee for the duration of the trial (e.g. cancer, congenital defects, spine osteoarthritis) * Major injury to the study knee within the 12 months prior to screening * Severe hip osteoarthritis ipsilateral to the study knee * Any pain that could interfere with the assessment of study knee pain (e.g. pain in any other part of the lower extremities, pain radiating to the knee) * Any pharmacological or non-pharmacological treatment targeting OA started or changed during the 4 weeks prior to randomization or likely to be changed during the duration of the study …
