We are inviting you to take part in a clinical study.
Those who take part in a study will have various visits to a study center near the participant’s home.
There is no cost to participate in a study. All study-related care, including the injectable medication, is provided at no cost. Those who take part in a study may receive compensation.
You may qualify for a Shoulder Osteoarthritis Study if you:
- Are between the ages of 50-80 years old, inclusive
- Have experienced osteoarthritis in one shoulder for at least 3 months prior to screening
- Do not have surgical hardware (plates, pins, screws) in the shoulder with OA
- Have a BMI less than or equal to 40 kg/m2
Sign Up
What happens if I sign up? We will match you to a research center location in your area that needs volunteers with Shoulder Osteoarthritis or notify you when one becomes available. The study team will then contact you and you may have the opportunity to participate if qualified.
If you think you might like to participate in a Shoulder Osteoarthritis Study or would like more information, please enter your information below so we can see if you may qualify and can contact you about the studies. Keep in mind that participation is entirely voluntary. If you do decide to take part in a study, you may change your mind about participating at any time.
About Shoulder Osteoarthritis
Shoulder osteoarthritis, also known as glenohumeral osteoarthritis, is a condition where the cartilage in the shoulder joint gradually wears away over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder. 1 It's similar to osteoarthritis in other joints like the knees and hips.1 Risk factors for shoulder osteoarthritis include aging, previous shoulder injuries or surgeries, repetitive stress on the shoulder joint (e.g., from certain sports or occupations), and genetic predisposition.2
It's essential for individuals with shoulder osteoarthritis to work closely with healthcare professionals to develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to their specific needs and goals.1 Early diagnosis and intervention can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a research study?
A research study (also called a clinical trial) is a medical study that helps to answer important questions about an investigational drug – these may include how well an investigational study drug works for a certain condition. All medications must be tested in clinical research studies before they can be approved and prescribed to patients.
Why are research studies important?
A research study is the process by which new and innovative medications, interventions and treatments are approved and brought to market, so people can live happier and healthier lives. Even over-the-counter medications, such as NSAIDs, you may have used to counteract a headache, have gone through the clinical research study process before it was available at your local pharmacy.
What else do I need to consider?
The research team will be able to explain more about what the Shoulder Osteoarthritis Studies will involve, and it is up to you to decide if you want to take part. Participation in this study is voluntary. Whether or not you decide to participate in this study will not affect your current or future relationships with your doctors. If you decide to participate, you are free to withdraw at any time without affecting those relationships.
How far is the clinical research center?
We match you to a clinical research center within a close travel distance from your home. If we are not running the study in your area currently, with your permission, we will keep you in our database and reach out once a study in your area becomes available.
If, at any time, you decide you no longer want your information stored, you can opt out and we will delete your details.
