About this study

Official title: A Phase 2a, Open-label, Dose-ranging Study of the Safety and Effectiveness of AA4500 for the Treatment of Adhesive Capsulitis of the Shoulder

The objectives of this study are to assess the safety, effectiveness, and immunogenicity of AA4500 in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis.

Read the detailed description

This study is a Phase 2a, open-label, dose-ranging study of the safety and effectiveness of AA4500 for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. To be eligible for treatment, a subject must have unilateral idiopathic adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder with restricted range of motion in the affected shoulder for at least 3 months but not more than 12 months. Subjects will be screened for study eligibility within 30 days before injection of study drug.

Approximately 50 adult women and men are to be enrolled in this study. Following screening and determination of study eligibility, Assignment to Cohorts 1-4 is sequential. Subjects assigned to Cohorts 1 through 4 may receive up to 3 injections of AA4500 according to cohort assignment. Each injection will be separated by a minimum of 21 days. Subjects assigned to Cohort 5 will receive home shoulder exercises only, while subjects assigned to Cohorts 1-4 will receive AA4500 and home shoulder exercises. Subjects in Cohort 5 will be offered physical therapy sessions for a period of 2 months following completion of the study.

Dosing will range from 0.29 mg to 0.58 mg with varying volumes.

  7. Change From Baseline to Day 92 in Passive Internal Rotation

    PROM measurement using a goniometer to assess internal rotation with the elbow up to 90° abduction in the affected shoulder

    Measured: Baseline, Day 92

  8. Change From Baseline to Day 92 in American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Composite Score

    Composite score ranging from 0-100, with 0 being worst pain and function loss, derived from the sum of the scores from pain subscale (11-point NRS where 0=no pain at all and 10=pain) and function subscale (activity questionnaire where 0=unable to do to, 1=very difficult to do, 2=somewhat difficult, and 3=not difficult); adapted from ASES Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form, Patient Self-Evaluation

    Measured: Baseline, Day 92

  9. Change From Baseline to Day 92 in ASES Pain Subscale

    Pain subscale score ranging from 0-50, with 0 being greatest pain, derived from participant assessment of pain in response to "How bad is the pain in your affected shoulder today?" on an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS) where 0=no pain at all and 10=pain as bad as it can be and calculated as (10 - NRS score) x 5); adapted from ASES Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form, Patient Self-Evaluation

    Measured: Baseline, Day 92

  10. Change From Baseline to Day 92 in ASES Function Subscale

    Function subscale score ranging from 0-50, with 0 being most dysfunctional, derived from participant assessment of ability to do 10 activities with affected shoulder/arm where 0=unable to do to, 1=very difficult to do, 2=somewhat difficult, and 3=not difficult, and calculated as (cumulative total score for the 10 activity items) × (5/3); adapted from ASES Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form, Patient Self-Evaluation

  11. Subject Satisfaction With Treatment at Day 92

    Participant assessment of satisfaction with treatment rated as very satisfied, quite satisfied, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, quite dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AA4500 0.29 mg/1 mL, AA4500 0.58 mg/2 mL and AA4500 0.58 mg/1 mL in people with Adhesive Capsulitis and Frozen Shoulder, run by Endo USA Inc., a Keenova Therapeutics Company at 15 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 11 inclusion and 34 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 5 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 25 May 2017). 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?

Change From Baseline to Day 92 in Active Forward Flexion (time frame: Baseline, Day 92). 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 5 Oct 2017.
