About this study

Official title: PS-901: Prospective Multicenter Open Label Study of the Encore Reverse® Shoulder Prosthesis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use and efficacy of the Reverse® Shoulder Prosthesis for treatment of rotator cuff deficiency in subjects who are candidates for a total shoulder replacement (primary and revision subjects).

Read the detailed description

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty for the treatment of rotator cuff deficiency and glenohumeral arthritis have shown favorable outcomes in pain and function over the short and medium term. A prospective, multi-center study on the outcomes of subjects treated with the RSP would be a valuable addition to the literature and give important information regarding an ever-increasing treatment option for subjects with rotator cuff deficiency. The study will take place at multiple sites across the United States and will be managed by the DJO Surgical Clinical Affairs Department. The study will include only subjects who meet the indications for use criteria for the Reverse® Shoulder Prosthesis and who are candidates for total shoulder replacement surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rotator Cuff Deficiency and Shoulder Arthropathy, run by Encore Medical, L.P. at 10 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 9 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Improvement in American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score (ASES) from Baseline (time frame: 2 year). 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 30 Mar 2021.
