Status: Recruiting

Primary Objective: To assess the efficacy of ZILRETTA on pain following an intra-articular (IA) injection in subjects with glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA) relative to normal saline placebo

Secondary Objective:

To assess the efficacy of ZILRETTA on pain following an IA injection in subjects with glenohumeral OA relative to triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension, immediate release (TCA-IR) and normal saline placebo
To assess the safety of ZILRETTA in subjects with glenohumeral OA relative to normal saline placebo and TCA-IR

Symptoms (including pain) associated with OA of the index shoulder for ≥3 months prior to Screening Visit (subject self-report is acceptable). Shoulder pain due to OA for >15 days over the last month (as reported by the subject).

Has symptomatic arthritis in other joints of the index shoulder (eg, acromioclavicular joint, sternoclavicular joint, or scapulothoracic joint), which is the primary source of pain in the opinion of the Investigator. Has symptomatic rotator cuff pathology by physical examination or evidence of cuff tear arthropathy by radiograph. Has clinical symptomatic chronic bilateral shoulder pain (any condition causing pain in the non- index shoulder). Has a subchondral bone insufficiency fracture or humeral head necrosis/collapse (including bone infarct) in the index shoulder based on X-ray used for study qualification. Has a prior ipsilateral proximal humerus fracture or scapula fracture to the index shoulder within 2 years of Screening Visit. Has been diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis ("frozen shoulder") in the index shoulder, within 1 year of the Screening Visit. Has a previous shoulder injury (eg, dislocation or clavicle fracture) in the index shoulder which resulted in functional limitation ≥1 month prior to the Screening Visit. Prior surgery on the index shoulder (less than 5 years), either open or arthroscopic. Should not have any retained hardware. Has an index shoulder with major dysplasia or congenital abnormality, osteochondritis dissecans, acromegaly, ochronosis, hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, primary osteochondromatosis, chondrolysis from a pain pump, or a history of avascular necrosis with secondary OA. Has current or history of infection (eg, osteomyelitis) in the index shoulder or current skin infection at injection site. Has any concurrent chronic pain condition within 1 month prior to the Screening Visit (subject self- report acceptable), including but not limited to, cervical spine pain or conditions causing radicular pain or peripheral nerve injury/entrapment (eg, brachial plexus injury or suprascapular nerve entrapment); diabetic neuropathy; post-herpetic neuralgia; post-stroke pain; or fibromyalgia that may affect sensation of the index shoulder. painDETECT Questionnaire (PD-Q) score >18 during Screening Visit. History or current evidence of reactive arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, or calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition (CPPD), gout, or other autoimmune diseases.  Any planned surgeries in the upper limbs and/or cervical spine during the study period, or any other surgery during the study period that would require use of a restricted medication.  Previous or concomitant treatment-related criteria  Presence of surgical hardware or other foreign body due to open or arthroscopic cartilage transplant or bone grafting procedures in the index shoulder. Use of muscle relaxants (eg, cyclobenzaprine, tetrazepam, and diazepam) and topical therapies (eg, NSAIDs, CBD oil, capsaicin, lidocaine patches, or other local treatments) applied to the index shoulder.  The use corticosteroids as follows:  IA corticosteroid in the index shoulder within 3 months of Screening Visit. Intrabursal and intratendinous corticosteroids in the index shoulder within 6 months of Screening Visit. Intravenous (IV), Intramuscular (IM), or epidural corticosteroids within 6 months of Screening. Oral corticosteroids within 1 month of Screening. IA treatment of index shoulder with any of the following agents within 6 months of Screening: hyaluronic acid (investigational or marketed) or any biologic agent (eg, platelet rich plasma [PRP] injection, stem cells, prolotherapy, and amniotic fluid-derived product). Significant changes with regard to physical activity, physical therapy, or lifestyle within 1 month of the Screening Visit, or any planned changes throughout the duration of the study. Use of selective serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs/SNRIs) (eg, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, citalopram, escitalopram, sertraline, duloxetine, and venlafaxine, milnacipran) if the dose is not stable for at least 3 months prior to Screening Visit and must remain stable throughout the study.
