Evaluation of the "ST500 SINGLE- DOSE GEL" in Patients With Symptomatic Long Head of the Biceps Tendon Injury

Contrad Swiss SA35 enrolled

Overview

Single arm, post-market, confirmatory, interventional clinical investigation - Medical Device

The aim of this single arm, post-market, confirmatory, interventional clinical investigation was to evaluate the effect on shoulder functionality and symptoms in patients affected by LHBT injury of a HA-based gel containing a peptide mixture, the ST500 SINGLE-DOSE GEL (ST500TM), topically applied to the shoulder.

ST500 SINGLE-DOSE GELDEVICE

ST500 SINGLE-DOSE GEL is a hydrogel to be applied to intact skin, useful to limit the physiological degeneration of the joints and tissues, improving their functionality. The presence of a peptide mixture and sodium hyaluronate facilitates the movement of joints and tendons for greater mobility and flexibility.

Eligibility

Sex: ALLMin age: 18 Years

Medical Language ↔ Plain English

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or Female, aged ≥18 years at the time of the signature of ICF. 2. Unilateral or bilateral LHBT injury of mild or moderate severity (CMS ≤ 70). 3. Willing to follow all study procedures, including attending all site visits, tests and examinations. 4. Willing to participate in the study and sign the ICF. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Other - different - clinical conditions of the shoulder requiring surgical intervention as well as full rotator cuff tears and LHBT lesions classified as Type IV, V, or VI. 2. Previous shoulder(s) surgery. 3. Infective or inflammatory processes near the area of treatment. 4. Damaged skin in the area of treatment. 5. Ongoing cutaneous allergies. 6. Serious and chronical pathological skin conditions (i.e., rosacea, psoriasis, vitiligo) including diagnosticated cancer with/without ongoing antitumor therapy. 7. Allergy to device components (Sodium hyaluronate; SH-Polypeptide-29; SH-Tripeptide-1; Demineralized water; Glycerin; Propylene glycol; Ethylhexylglycerin; Panthenol; PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil; Sodium hydroxide; Xanthan gum; Phenoxyethanol; Benzoic Acid; Carbomer; Dehydroacetic Acid; Disodium EDTA). 8. Any other systemic or local therapy for the treatment of LHBT injury (only physiotherapy is allowed). 9. Any other systemic or local therapy (e.g. corticosteroids) for the treatment of other inflammatory diseases (e.g. dermatitis, acute or chronic bronchitis, gastroenteritis, etc.) or painful states (e.g. headache, dental abscess, etc.) that may interfere with the clinical course of LHBT injury under treatment with the medical device ST500 (only the use of paracetamol, according the procedures described in the protocol, is allowed to treat the painful state related to LHBT injury). 10. High consumption of analgesic drugs for the painful state upon clinician judgement (i.e., NSAIDs + opioid or NSAIDs + steroids). 11. Immune system illnesses. 12. Uncontrolled systemic diseases. 13. Known drug and/or alcohol abuse. 14. Mental incapacity that precludes adequate understanding or cooperation. 15. Participation in another investigational study. 16. Pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Clinical performance of the ST500™ in the increase of shoulder functionality, in terms of difference (percent) in the Constant-Murley Score (CMS) between the end of study visit and baseline visit.

To evaluate the clinical performance of the ST500™ in the increase of shoulder functionality, in terms of difference (percent) in the Constant-Murley Score (CMS) between the end of study visit and baseline visit, in patients affected by Long Head of the Biceps Tendon (LHBT) injury. The Constant-Murley score (CMS) is a 100-points scale, that ranges from 0 points (most disability) to 100 points (least disability).

Time frame: 10 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Clinical performance of the ST500™ in supporting the physiological regenerative process of tendon

To evaluate the clinical performance of the ST500™ in supporting the physiological regenerative process of tendon assessed by high resolution ultrasound (HRUS)

Time frame: 10 weeks

Clinical performance of the ST500 in the attenuation of disability in patients affected by LHBT injury

To evaluate the clinical performance of the ST500 in the attenuation of disability in patients affected by Long Head of the Biceps Tendon (LHBT) injury assessed by range of motion through use of a digital goniometer.

Time frame: 10 weeks

Number of participants with Adverse Events (ST500 Safety and Tolerability)

To evaluate the tolerability and safety of ST500™ through identification of Adverse Events including assessment of the relationship of the Adverse Event to the Investigational Product (e.g. local allergic reaction).

Time frame: 10 weeks

Patient satisfaction of the ST500™

To evaluate the tolerability and patient satisfaction of the CR 500™ through a the completion of a specific questionnaire by the patient, the five-points Likert scale in which 1 means Strongly disagree with the assertion and 5 means Strongly agree
