Trial Outcomes & Findings for Rilonacept (Arcalyst ®) in the Treatment of Subacromial Bursitis (NCT NCT01830699)

NCT ID: NCT01830699

Last Updated: 2014-08-04

Results Overview

The QuickDASH will be used as the primary outcome to assess improvement in pain and function of patients with clinical symptoms and signs of subacromial bursitis randomized to either rilonacept vs. corticosteroid injection. The QuickDASH is an 11 question form, a short version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (DASH). It ranges from 0 (no symptoms/full function) to 100 (maximal symptoms/no function). No units are specified. Cutoff scores: \< 15 = no problem, 16 - 40 = problem, but working, \> 40 = unable to work. US population mean +/- SD is 10.1 +/- 14.7.
