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.


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.

Study Design


Intervention

Drug:
FX006 Injection
One injection of extended release triamcinolone. 32 milligram injection of the extended release triamcinolone in a 75:25 ratio of polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) microspheres to drug load of 25%. The drug product is reconstituted with diluent containing an isotonic, sterile aqueous solution of sodium chloride, carboxymethylcellulose sodium and polysorbate-80 to form a suspension prior to injection.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Incidence of adverse events Assess the overall safety extended release triamcinolone in acetate (TA-ER/FX006) in patient with rotator cuff disease. Safety is evaluated on the basis of incidence of adverse events (AE). These would be reported by the patient or discovered by the investigator from the following measure below: VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) is a scale to measure patient's pain. SANE (Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation) a scale of 0 to 100 that patients rate their joint function, with 100 being normal function. VR12 (Veterans RAND 12 Item Health Survey) is a patient-reported measure of a patient's overall health. ASES (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment) is a survey which measures function and pain in the shoulder. Surveys could indicate an AE if there was increasing pain or worsening function which would not be expected. This would direct the investigator into further physical exam and inquiry on possible injuries or any other AE. Outcomes will not be aggregated. 24 weeks
Secondary Change in shoulder pain as assessed by VAS Assess changes in shoulder pain. Change in shoulder pain as measured by VAS. The VAS (Visual Analogue Scale for pain) is a continuous scale to measure patient's pain. The scale is from 0 to 100 with 100 being the worst pain and 0 being no pain. 24 weeks
Secondary Change in shoulder function as assessed by SANE Assess changes in shoulder function. Change in shoulder function as measured by SANE. SANE (Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation) is a scale of 0 to 100 that patients rate their knee function, with 100 being normal function and 0 being no function. 24 weeks
Secondary Change in shoulder function as assessed by VR-12 health. It includes 12 questions which correspond to seven health domains: general health, physical function, limitations due to physical and emotional problems, bodily pain, energy level, social functioning, and mental health. There are two scores from the VR-12, a Mental Component Score and a Physical Component Score. The scores are reported as Z-scores (number of standard deviations away from population average). The average score for the United States population is 50 and 1 standard deviation corresponds to 10 points. 24 weeks
Secondary Change in shoulder function and pain as assessed by ASES ASES (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form) is a patient reported questionnaire which measures function and pain in the shoulder. This is a 100 point scale that combines 50 points from pain and 50 points from function. There are 2 sections to the form: pain and activities of daily living. The pain section has 4 yes or no questions regarding timing of pain and pain medication, and 1 question involving a VAS scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). The activities of daily living section has 10 questions and is ranked on a 0 (unable to perform) to 3 (no difficulty performing) scale. 24 weeks
