Brief summary (from the registry)

This clinical trial is to determine the safety and effectiveness of three injections of SUPARTZ (sodium hyaluronate) compared with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for the treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis of the shoulder. The trial contains two phases. Phase I is 26 weeks, double blinded, and subjects are randomized to either SUPARTZ or PBS treatment. Phase II is 26 weeks (total 52 weeks) and open-label so all subjects will receive SUPARTZ injections only.
