  • Have painful, non-inflammatory unilateral osteoarthritis of the shoulder. OA in the contralateral shoulder is permissible provided that the OA symptoms are greater in the study joint. The presence of soft tissue pathology (e.g., rotator cuff tear) is permitted, and will be evaluated by an MRI (taken within 6 months of study entry).
  • Report an initial visual analogue pain score (VAS) of ≥ 30 and ≤ 80.
  • Have radiographic confirmation of osteoarthritis of the shoulder prior to baseline (modified Kellgren and Lawrence Numerical Grading System Grades II - IV) on radiographs performed within 12 weeks of screening
  • Have pain from shoulder OA requiring frequent (> 3 days/week) use of analgesics or NSAIDs for at least 8 weeks prior to screening.

Who cannot join

  • • Pregnant, lactating, or unwilling to use adequate contraception.
  • Prior viscosupplementation in target shoulder joint within 1 year of study entry.
  • Known sensitivity to avian protein or any components of hyaluronan based infection devices, steroids, lidocaine.
  • Known Sensitivity to contrast agent.
  • Used systemic steroids or have had an intra-articular steroid injection in the target shoulder within the last 3 months.
  • Rapidly progressive disease.

  • Acute disease or trauma leading to osteoarthritis of the joint within 2 years of study entry.
  • Presence of a primary inflammatory arthropathy (e.g., rheumatoid, psoriatic, or gouty arthritis).
  • Active skin or soft tissue infection in the area of the injection site.
  • Cervical spin disorders (e.g., radiculopathy) that have been symptomatic and required active treatment within the past 3 months.
  • Any active musculoskeletal condition that would impede measurement of the efficacy of the target shoulder joint (such as fibromyalgia).
  • Any major surgery, arthroplasty or arthroscopy in the target shoulder within 26 weeks of screening or planned surgery within the duration of the study.
  • Septic arthritis in any joints within 3 months prior to screening; any history of septic arthritis in the target shoulder.
  • Any significant chronic skin disorders that could interfere with the evaluation of the injection site.
  • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, diabetic neuropathy or infectious complications.
  • Active malignancy receiving treatment.
  • Taking warfarin or parental anticoagulant therapy.
  • Active asthma that may require periodic treatment with steroids during the study period.
  • Use of investigational drug, device, or biologic within 12 weeks of screening
  • Patients with ongoing litigation or workman's compensation claim.

About this study

Official title: Prospective, Single Arm, Pilot Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Hyaluronan (Hylan GF-20) in Patients With Painful Shoulder Osteoarthritis

The objective is to assess the safety and efficacy (over the course of 26 weeks) of 2 intra-articular (IA) Hylan GF-20 (Synvisc) injections in addition to customary care in patients with painful glenohumeral osteoarthritis.

Being tested
Hylan GF-20

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Hylan GF-20Device

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. -Change from baseline to week 26 evaluation of patient's assessment of pain (VAS rest, motion, night)

  2. -Change from Baseline to follow-up in overall pain and function (WOMAC shoulder rating questionnaire)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. -Absolute change in passive range of motion, in flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation

  2. -Requirements for rescue medication use for pain of the shoulder at each scheduled visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Hylan GF-20 in people with Painful Shoulder Osteoarthritis, run by Northwestern Ophthalmic Institute S.C..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jun 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

-Change from baseline to week 26 evaluation of patient's assessment of pain (VAS rest, motion, night). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jun 2007.
