SUPARTZ Versus Placebo in Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder

April 5, 2021 updated by: Bioventus LLC

A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled Trial of SUPARTZ (Sodium Hyaluronate) for the Treatment of Chronic Shoulder Pain

This clinical trial is to determine the safety and effectiveness of three injections of SUPARTZ (sodium hyaluronate) compared with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for the treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis of the shoulder. The trial contains two phases. Phase I is 26 weeks, double blinded, and subjects are randomized to either SUPARTZ or PBS treatment. Phase II is 26 weeks (total 52 weeks) and open-label so all subjects will receive SUPARTZ injections only.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS: 0-100) for Pain on Movement
Time Frame: Ph1: weeks 7 - 26

Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain on (shoulder) movement with a range of 0 to100; where 0=No pain at all and 100=Pain as bad as it can be.

Q: How bad is the pain in your study shoulder with activity or movement? (For example, when putting on a coat, sleeping on your study shoulder side, combing your hair, reaching a high shelf, etc.)

Reported is a single Least square mean point estimate over the 7-26 week time interval using the assessments collected at weeks 7, 13, 20, and 26

Ph1: weeks 7 - 26
