About this study
Official title: A Randomized Trial of Cortisone Injection Versus Bone Marrow Aspirate Injection Therapy for Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis
This randomized trial seeks to investigate the difference if any between cortisone injection versus bone marrow aspirate injection in the glenohumeral joint of patients with confirmed osteoarthritis. The investigators hope that results from a prospective randomized controlled pilot study on bone marrow aspirate (BMA) glenohumeral joint (GHJ) injections will provide valuable early information on an alternative treatment for GHJ osteoarthritis (OA). This novel study will also contribute clinical data to the growing pool of research around BMA in the treatment of osteoarthritis. This study has the potential to uncover a new and more effective therapy to add to the arsenal of an orthopaedic surgeon in the management of GHJ OA. This would provide improved care and treatment for those disabled by GHJ OA. Additionally, this knowledge would be applicable to a variety of medical practitioners who treat GHJ OA from the general orthopaedic surgeon to pain subspecialists.
Read the detailed description
Glenohumeral joint (GHJ) osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful, progressive and debilitating condition that impairs quality of life. Currently, the only "cure" for arthritis is total joint replacement. This is a major operation that carries with it significant risks including infection, stiffness, limited range of motion, peri-prosthetic fracture and loosening. Furthermore, there are permanent post-operative restrictions, and in young or active people there is a significant rate of early revision surgery. Therefore, the goal of early shoulder OA management is symptom control, and postponement or prevention of the need for joint replacement.
Initial management options include physical therapy, pain-control medications, and intra-articular injections. Corticosteroid injections are the most commonly utilized injectables used in GHJ OA, with previous studies reporting good, short term pain relief and clinical improvement with corticosteroid injections for shoulder OA. However, corticosteroid injections may damage the collagen matrix of tendons and ligaments around the shoulder with repeated injections. Intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) injections have been proposed as an alternative to corticosteroid injections, and have demonstrated a clinically significant improvement in pain and function, albeit with a limited effect size.
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMA) injections is a relatively recent option for the treatment of OA. BMA is a biological product that is produced through the centrifugation of the patient's own bone marrow, producing a cellular equivalent to iliac crest bone graft. This aspirate has been shown to contain, among other nucleated cells, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC's) and hematopoietic stem cells (which can directly convert to stromal MSC's).Furthermore, this minimally invasive procedure can be conducted as an outpatient procedure, saving operating room time.
Preliminary studies on intra-articular knee injections of BMA for early OA have reported statistically significant benefits in improved pain scores and function, with few adverse effects. The mechanism of action is likely through paracrine effects exerted by MSCs with the upshot being anti-inflammatory and potentially regenerative capabilities. These results are encouraging for the use of BMA in the shoulder, which is a non-weight bearing joint. Therefore, the investigators believe that the clinical improvements seen with BMA injections for knee OA will also be seen in the shoulder to an equal or greater extent.
To date there are no trials investigating injectable stem cell therapies in the shoulder. The investigators aim to conduct a randomized controlled study to test the safety and efficacy of BMA injections for the treatment of early to mid-stage GHJ OA.
1.2 Significance of Current Study
Results from a prospective randomized controlled pilot study on BMA GHJ injections will provide valuable early information on an alternative treatment for GHJ OA. This novel study will also contribute clinical data to the growing pool of research around BMA in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
This research group is proposing a randomized clinical trial prospectively comparing BMA GHJ injections versus Depo Medrol Cortisone GHJ injections. This study will include comprehensive clinical, functional and joint specific patient outcome scores.
After a comprehensive literature review, to the investigators knowledge, there are no studies on the efficacy of BMA injections for management of GHJ OA. Thus, this study will be the first to report on safety, efficacy and costs associated with BMA injections.
This innovative study has the potential to uncover a new and more effective therapy to add to the arsenal of an orthopaedic surgeon in the management of GHJ OA. This would provide improved care and treatment for people disabled by GHJ OA. Additionally, this knowledge would be applicable to a variety of medical practitioners who treat GHJ OA from the general orthopaedic surgeon to pain subspecialists.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder (WOOS) Index
A 19 question, quality of life measurement tool for patients with osteoarthritis of the shoulder. WOOS assesses change in specific areas of daily life function from scores captured at pre injection baseline to those captured at 3, 6 and 12 month intervals.
Patient responses are recorded with a mark placed on a scale by the patient for each of the 19 questions, with responses being measured quantitatively out of 100 per question, totaled per subsection (Physical Symptoms/600; Sports and Recreation/Work/500; Lifestyle/500;Emotions/300) , totaled out of 1900 overall. Marks placed at or near 0 on the scale indicate patient is not experiencing or affected by the symptom described in the question, while marks at or near 100 indicate the patient is very affected.
Baseline survey completed on the day of the injection, repeated at 3, 6 and 12 months post injection to compare change in sub section score, and total score out of 1900 at the given time point, to the scores captured at baseline.
Measured: Survey administered at Baseline, and then change from baseline measured at 3 months post injection, 6 months post injection, and 12 months post injection with the survey being administered again at each of these time points.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This randomized trial seeks to investigate the difference if any between cortisone injection versus bone marrow aspirate injection in the glenohumeral joint of patients with confirmed osteoarthritis. The investigators hope that results from a prospective randomized controlled pilot study on bone marrow aspirate (BMA) glenohumeral joint (GHJ) injections will provide valuable early information on an alternative treatment for GHJ osteoarthritis (OA). This novel study will also contribute clinical data to the growing pool of research around BMA in the treatment of osteoarthritis. This study has the potential to uncover a new and more effective therapy to add to the arsenal of an orthopaedic surgeon in the management of GHJ OA.

Detailed description
Glenohumeral joint (GHJ) osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful, progressive and debilitating condition that impairs quality of life. Currently, the only "cure" for arthritis is total joint replacement. This is a major operation that carries with it significant risks including infection, stiffness, limited range of motion, peri-prosthetic fracture and loosening. Furthermore, there are permanent post-operative restrictions, and in young or active people there is a significant rate of early revision surgery. Therefore, the goal of early shoulder OA management is symptom control, and postponement or prevention of the need for joint replacement.
Initial management options include physical therapy, pain-control medications, and intra-articular injections. Corticosteroid injections are the most commonly utilized injectables used in GHJ OA, with previous studies reporting good, short term pain relief and clinical improvement with corticosteroid injections for shoulder OA. However, corticosteroid injections may damage the collagen matrix of tendons and ligaments around the shoulder with repeated injections. Intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) injections have been proposed as an alternative to corticosteroid injections, and have demonstrated a clinically significant improvement in pain and function, albeit with a limited effect size.
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMA) injections is a relatively recent option for the treatment of OA. BMA is a biological product that is produced through the centrifugation of the patient's own bone marrow, producing a cellular equivalent to iliac crest bone graft. This aspirate has been shown to contain, among other nucleated cells, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC's) and hematopoietic stem cells (which can directly convert to stromal MSC's).Furthermore, this minimally invasive procedure can be conducted as an outpatient procedure, saving operating room time.
Preliminary studies on intra-articular knee injections of BMA for early OA have reported statistically significant benefits in improved pain scores and function, with few adverse effects. The mechanism of action is likely through paracrine effects exerted by MSCs with the upshot being anti-inflammatory and potentially regenerative capabilities. These results are encouraging for the use of BMA in the shoulder, which is a non-weight bearing joint. Therefore, the investigators believe that the clinical improvements seen with BMA injections for knee OA will also be seen in the shoulder to an equal or greater extent.

Primary outcome
Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder (WOOS) Index
Time frame: Survey administered at Baseline, and then change from baseline measured at 3 months post injection, 6 months post injection, and 12 months post injection with the survey being administered again at each of these time points.
A 19 question, quality of life measurement tool for patients with osteoarthritis of the shoulder. WOOS assesses change in specific areas of daily life function from scores captured at pre injection baseline to those captured at 3, 6 and 12 month intervals. Patient responses are recorded with a mark placed on a scale by the patient for each of the 19 questions, with responses being measured quantitatively out of 100 per question, totaled per subsection (Physical Symptoms/600; Sports and Recreation/Work/500; Lifestyle/500;Emotions/300) , totaled out of 1900 overall. Marks placed at or near 0 on the scale indicate patient is not experiencing or affected by the symptom described in the question, while marks at or near 100 indicate the patient is very affected. Baseline survey completed on the day of the injection, repeated at 3, 6 and 12 months post injection to compare change in sub section score, and total score out of 1900 at the given time point, to the scores captured at baseline.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing Cortisone and Bone Marrow Aspirate in people with Osteo Arthritis Shoulders, run by Women's College Hospital at 1 site in Canada.
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 3 inclusion and 7 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 20 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Canada. 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 combined 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.
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?
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?
Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder (WOOS) Index (time frame: Survey administered at Baseline, and then change from baseline measured at 3 months post injection, 6 months post injection, and 12 months post injection with the survey being administered again at each of these time points.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03580148, which also lists 21 linked publications.
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 20 Jul 2022.
