Single Center, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Oral High-Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid for the Prevention of Aromatase Inhibitor-Associated Arthralgias
Study Overview

Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Primary Objective To determine whether oral HA will prevent AI-induced arthralgias and preserve physical function.
Secondary Objectives
- To explore whether oral HA will have an acceptable safety and tolerability profile.
- To determine whether oral HA will prevent other AI associated symptoms as assessed by patient reported outcomes (PRO's).
- To assess how many of the subjects are 90% compliant with taking the HA as directed.
Exploratory Objective To determine if mi486, (a microRNA enriched in skeletal muscle) and other biomarkers associated with AIMSS (TNF, IL-6, IL-17) vary with the administration of HA.

Participation Criteria
Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Genders Eligible for Study
Description
Study Population ER/PR-Positive Breast Cancer Subjects whose AIMSS resolved with cessation of their AI and are candidates for switching to a different AI and who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be eligible for participation in this study.
Inclusion Criteria
- Age ≥ 18 years old.
- Had been taking anastrazole or letrozole, and discontinued it within the past 90 days due to pain and/or stiffness. The AI-related pain/stiffness must have resolved.
- Prior tamoxifen use is allowed.
- A prior switch from exemestane is allowed.
- Women who have undergone a total mastectomy or breast conserving surgery for Stage 0-3 breast cancer +/- chemotherapy, +/- antiHer2Neu therapy, +/- radiotherapy.
- Must have ER and/or PR positive tumors.
- Women who are postmenopausal by the presence of natural amenorrhea ≥ 12 months or by ovarian ablation (bilateral oophorectomy, radiation, or administration of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist).
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Score (ECOG PS) 0-3 (Appendix II).
- Patients may or may not be taking non-opioid analgesics.
Adequate renal and hepatic function:
i) Include only subjects with AST and ALT < 2.0 × ULN; AP < 1.5 × ULN; total bilirubin < 1.2 × ULN ii) Include only subjects with as calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) > 60 mL/min determined by the central laboratory using the modified Cockcroft-Gault equation; blood urea nitrogen (BUN) < 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Written informed consent from subject and ability for subject to comply with the requirements of the study.
Exclusion Criteria
- Presence of residual or recurrent cancer.
- Presence of a condition or abnormality that in the opinion of the Investigator would compromise the safety of the patient or the quality of the data.
- Consumption of HA-containing supplements in the four weeks prior to study.
- Known allergy to microcrystalline cellulose or HA. Any questionable reaction to injected HA will be thoroughly investigated.
- Prolonged systemic corticosteroid treatment, except for topical applications (e.g., for rash), inhaled sprays (e.g., for obstructive airway diseases), eye drops or local insertion (i.e., intra-articular). A short duration of systemic corticosteroids is allowed but not within 30 days prior to registration.
- Self-reported compliance issues and lack of regular prescription filling.
- Previous diagnosis of fibromyalgia and/or rheumatoid arthritis.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Hyaluronic Acid
Subjects in this arm will be given 100 mg of hyaluronic acid in capsule form.
Subject in this arm will be asked to 1 capsule take twice daily for 26 weeks.
|
Dosage form: hyaluronic capsules; Dose: 100 mg; Frequency: twice daily; Duration: 26 weeks
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Subjects in this arm will be given a placebo comparator capsule that is identical to the hyaluronic capsule containing microcrystalline cellulose as the sole ingredient.
Subjects in this arm will be asked to take 1 capsule twice daily for 26 weeks.
|
Dosage form: microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) capsules; Dose: approx.
100 mg (determined by weight of HA counterpart); Frequency: twice daily; Duration: 26 weeks

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Difference in mean change in joint pain between HA and placebo groups
Time Frame: 14 weeks
|
As measured by the Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form (BPI-SF) questions #3-#6, #9A-G.
This 14-item questionnaire was developed for use in patients with cancer that uses a scale from 0 to 10 to assess worst pain, pain severity, and pain interference over the past week.
The first 8 items have to do with the severity of the pain, and the remaining 7 items ask about how the pain has affected function.

Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (i.e. safety and tolerability of HA)
Time Frame: 30 weeks

|
Difference in mean joint symptoms between HA and placebo groups
Time Frame: 6, 14, and 26 weeks
|
As measured by Western Ontario and McMaster osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) scores.
This questionnaire assesses the three domains of pain, stiffness, and physical function in the lower extremities over the past 7 days.
It is scored from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
