A Study to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of Bevacizumab Administered Via Injection Into the Shoulder Joint of Participants With Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder) Phase 2 28 Investigator-Initiated Single Dose

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT06976671 is designed to study Treatment for Adhesive Capsulitis. It is a Phase 2 interventional study that is recruiting, having started on 10 September 2024, with plans to enroll 28 participants. Led by Macquarie University, Australia, it is expected to complete by 1 September 2027. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 16 May 2025.
Brief Summary
This study is intended to test a new treatment for a condition called adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder. The treatment being tested is called bevacizumab. Participants will receive a single dose of bevacizumab (50mg, 100mg, 150mg, or 200mg) via injection into their shoulder joint. After the injection, participants will return to site 6 times over the course of a year for safety assessments, questionn...Show More
Detailed Description
This study is a single-centred, open-label, dose-ranging clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of intra-articular bevacizumab in adults with adhesive capsulitis. Participants, aged 18 years and over, will be included in this study if they are diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis as defined in the inclusion criteria. Eligibility will be dependent on the exclusion of any previous shoulder trauma in the contral...Show More

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Evaluate the safety of bevacizumab over a 52-week period in participants with adhesive capsulitis

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame

52 weeks
Evaluate the efficacy of bevacizumab over a 52-week period in participants with adhesive capsulitis
Change in Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand assessment (Work and Health, 2006) at baseline (V1) versus 14 days (V4), 28 days (V5), 84 days (V6), 168 days (V7), and 364 days (V8)
