Why Join This Study?
We are currently recruiting participants for a study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an injectable medication that may help ease shoulder osteoarthritis symptoms.
You may be eligible to join if you:
- Are between 50 and 80 years old
- Have been experiencing osteoarthritis in one shoulder for at least 3 months
- Do not have surgical hardware in the affected shoulder
- Have a BMI of 40kg/m2 or less
The study also offers reimbursement for study-related travel and transportation expenses. All study-related care, including the investigational injection, is provided free of charge and managed by skilled medical professionals dedicated to your well-being.

What happens if I fill out the pre-screening questionnaire?
If you pass the initial study screener, we will match you to a location in your area that needs volunteers with Shoulder Osteoarthritis or notify you when one becomes available. If there is not a current study for Shoulder Osteoarthritis in your area, a Patient Engagement Specialist may reach out to you in the future via the email address or phone number (call or text) you provided to share information about new study opportunities you may qualify for.
Keep in mind that participation is entirely voluntary. If you 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.
About the REZILIENCE Study
The REZILIENCE Study is looking for around 250 participants at various research centers in the United States. If you join, you'll receive a single dose of the investigational injection in the shoulder affected by osteoarthritis, followed by a 24-week follow-up period where your dedicated study team will closely monitor your progress and support you along the way.
Participants will receive all study-related care from a dedicated medical team at no cost. Those who qualify to take part in the study may receive compensation for their participation.
In this study, researchers will be evaluating an investigational study medication to see how well it works in treating osteoarthritis of the shoulder.
Who can take part in the REZILIENCE Study?
You may be eligible to join if you:
- Are between 50 and 80 years old
- Have been experiencing osteoarthritis in one shoulder for at least 3 months
- Do not have surgical hardware in the affected shoulder
- Have a BMI of 40kg/m2 or less
