Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of this study is to assess the overall safety and general tolerability of extended release triamcinolone acetate (TA-ER/FX006) in patient with rotator cuff disease. The study will enroll 65 patients, aged 40-75 years old, in a longitudinal case series level IV study using extended release triamcinolone to treat shoulder pain from rotator cuff disease. Inclusion criteria will be shoulder pain without a history of trauma and physical exam consistent with rotator cuff tendinitis, impingement syndrome or rotator cuff tear.


Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of TA-ER in the treatment of rotator cuff disease. The study will enroll 65 patients in a longitudinal case series level IV study using extended release triamcinolone to treat shoulder pain from rotator cuff disease. Inclusion criteria will be shoulder pain without a history of trauma and physical exam consistent with rotator cuff tendinitis, impingement syndrome or rotator cuff tear. Patients will have normal Xrays or Xrays indicative of chronic cuff tearing and a musculoskeletal ultrasound indicating an intact rotator cuff, partial cuff tearing or cuff tear. Patients will undergo an ultrasound guided injection of TA-ER into the subacromial space from a lateral access point at the time of the examination. They will be monitored for any immediate adverse effects. Patient reported outcomes measures will be recorded with online questionnaires which include a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Single assessment numeric evaluation (SANE), Veteran's Rand 12 (VR-12) and American Shoulder and Elbow Scale (ASES) and will be recorder pre-treatment and at 2, 4, 8 and 12 and 24 weeks post treatment. Patients will be asked to follow up for an in person evaluation at 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks post injection. ;
