About this study

Official title: A Comparison of Orthovisc® to Corticosteroid Injection in Shoulder Osteoarthritis: Orthovisc Randomized Clinical Trial

A comparison of Orthovisc to corticosteroid injections in the shoulder for pain due to osteoarthritis.

Read the detailed description

This multicenter, prospective double-blinded, randomized trial will study two treatment groups. Subjects will be randomized to receive either Orthovisc or corticosteroids/anesthetic injection into the shoulder in a 2:1 schema. The trial will assess safety and efficacy of pain relief in the osteoarthritic shoulder.

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score (Per Protocol)

    Scores are measured on a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS scale ranges from 0 to 100 mm with the lower score indicating less pain and the higher score indicating greater pain.

    Measured: 6 Months

  2. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score (As Treated)

    Scores are measured on a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS scale ranges from 0 to 100 mm with the lower score indicating less pain and the higher score indicating greater pain.

    Measured: 6 Months

Secondary outcomes (20)
  1. Percentage of Responders Using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score (Per Protocol)

    Scores are measured on a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS scale ranges from 0 to 100 mm with the lower score indicating less pain and the higher score indicating greater pain.

    A responder was defined as a 20 mm or greater reduction in VAS pain score from baseline to 6 months.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 months

  2. Percentage of Responders Using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score (As Treated)

    Scores are measured on a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS scale ranges from 0 to 100 mm with the lower score indicating less pain and the higher score indicating greater pain.

    A responder was defined as a 20 mm or greater reduction in VAS pain score from baseline to 6 months.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 months

  3. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score Change From Baseline and 12 Weeks (Per Protocol)

    The difference in pain was calculated as visit score - baseline score. Scores are measured on a 100 mm visual analogy scale.

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

  4. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score Change From Baseline and 12 Weeks (As Treated)

    Scores are measured on a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS scale ranges from 0 to 100 mm with the lower score indicating less pain and the higher score indicating greater pain.

    The difference in pain was calculated as visit score - baseline score.

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

  5. American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Evaluation Form (ASES) Patient Score Change From Baseline and 12 Weeks (Per Protocol)

    The difference in American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Evaluation Form (ASES) Patient score calculated as visit score - baseline score.

    The ASES was designed to provide a standard method for evaluation of the shoulder through assessment of pain and activities of daily living (ie, function). The ASES is derived from an equation that incorporates a visual analog pain scale and functional ability questions. Both components have a maximum score of 50. Pain is calculated by subtracting the visual analog score from 10 and then multiplying by 5 for a total of 50 points. The function component is calculated by adding the points and multiplying by five thirds for a maximum of 50 points. The subscores for pain and function are then added for the total score. The maximum possible total score is 100, representing less pain and greater function.

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

  9. Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) Total Disability Score Change From Baseline and 12 Weeks (Per Protocol)

    The difference in Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) Total Disability score calculated as visit score - baseline score.

    The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a self-administered questionnaire that consists of two dimensions, one for pain and the other for functional activities. The pain dimension consists of five questions regarding the severity of an individual's pain, where: 0 = no pain and 10 = the worst pain imaginable. Functional activities are assessed with eight questions designed to measure the degree of difficulty an individual has with various activities of daily living that require upper-extremity use, where: 0 = no difficulty and 10 = so difficult it requires help.

    Scoring instructions: The scores from both dimensions are averaged to derive a total score.

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

  13. 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) Physical Score Change From Baseline and 12 Weeks (Per Protocol)

    The difference in 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) Physical score calculated as visit score - baseline score.

    The SF-12 is a generic measure and does not target a specific age or disease group. It has been developed to provide a shorter, yet valid alternative to the SF-36, which has been seen by many health researchers as too long to administer to studies with large samples. The SF-12 is weighted and summed to provide easily interpretable scales for physical and mental health.

    Physical and Mental Health Composite Scores (PCS \& MCS) are computed using the scores of twelve questions and range from 0 to 100, where a zero score indicates the lowest level of health measured by the scales and 100 indicates the highest level of health.

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Orthovisc in people with Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis, run by DePuy Mitek at 13 sites in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Apr 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score (Per Protocol) (time frame: 6 Months). 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 9 Mar 2017.
