Ottawa, Ontario
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive disease resulting from the degradation of synovial joint articular cartilage over time.
The hallmark symptom is diffuse aching and progressive pain made worse with activity. Loss of range of motion and compromised function inevitably follow. This degenerative disease can affect the shoulder joint. When symptoms become refractory to conservative treatment such as anti-inflammatory medication, steroid injections, activity modification or physical therapy; surgery (total or reverse shoulder arthroplasty) may be considered.
Idiopathic shoulder OA is typically characterized by posterior subluxation of the humeral head upon the glenoid and posterior bone loss. An imbalance in the application of forces applied to the proximal humerus by the posterior and anterior rotator cuff muscles has been postulated to be the leading cause of idiopathic shoulder OA. However, there is only preliminary evidence to support this theory and the etiology of this pattern of deformity is unknown. The theory the posterior humeral head subluxation is a precursor to OA is only supported by very low-level evidence and no longitudinal studies have been conducted. As a result, the cause and natural history of shoulder OA remains unknown.
Research into this area is urgently needed to generate knowledge that will inform future treatments aimed at modifying and slowing the progression of shoulder OA and to reduce the need for shoulder replacement therapy.
The aim of this project is to develop an understanding of the pathophysiology of shoulder OA.

We started Power when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I struggled to help him access the latest immunotherapy. Hopefully Power makes it simpler for you to explore promising new treatments, during what is probably a difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.How do clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length is 12 months.How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.What are the newest clinical trials ?
