About This Partial Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears Study in Chicago

The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of allogeneic dermal fibroblasts (TPX-115) compared to placebo in patients with Partial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tear(PTRCT). Primary endpoint is to evaluate the efficacy of TPX-115 compared to placebo, as measured by improvement in the Constant-Murley Score (CMS) in patients with PTRCT. Secondary endpoints are: * To evaluate functional (including shoulder pain) and structural improvements in the affected shoulder after administration of TPX-115 compared to placebo in patients with PTRCT * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of TPX-115 in patients with PTRCT * To assess the immunogenicity of TPX-115

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Patients with clinical symptoms including but not limited to pain, muscle weakness, or limited active range of motion (ROM) of PTRCT persisting for more than 3 months despite conservation treatment.
Patients who report a usual pain level of \>= 4 on visual analogue scale (VAS) at screening.
Patients who had, in the opinion of the investigator, at least 1 reasonable physical therapy course and no substantial response within 6 months prior to enrollment.
Patients who are willing to discontinue all pain medications on the shoulder (except rescue medication of \< 3.25g acetaminophen per day) at least 72 hours prior to screening and throughout the duration of study.
Patients in general good health, with no concomitant conditions or taking treatments potentially representing confounding factors and interfering with the study treatment or study procedures and their results or putting the patient at a greater risk, as per the investigator's documented clinical judgment.
Patients who meet the following laboratory criteria, with results within 5% of the specified normal reference ranges:
Hemoglobin: 12 to 18 g/dL.

Exclusion Criteria

Patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tear in the affected shoulder as assessed by MRI.
Patients with both partial- and full-thickness rotator cuff tear in the affected shoulder.
Patients who have experienced previous surgeries in the affected shoulder within 12 months prior to enrollment.
Patients who have received subacromial or intra-articular injection in the affected shoulder within 3 months prior to screening visit.
Patients who have a history of cell therapy or prolotherapy in the affected shoulder.
Patients who have received platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in the affected shoulder within 6 months prior to screening visit.
Patients who have received systemic immunosuppressive therapy within 4 weeks prior to screening visit.
Patients who have any of the following clinically significant diseases at screening or have medical history of past:
inflammatory joint disease (eg, septic arthritis, rheumatoid inflammation)
other shoulder disease, in the affected shoulder, that may cause shoulder pain or functional disorder (eg, arthritis, cervical spine disorders, subacromial pathological morphology leading to impingement syndrome)
autoimmune disease
active hepatitis B or C (except for simple carriers and hepatitis B patients with antiviral medications for 6 months before screening)
human immunodeficiency virus antibody-positive
history of systemic malignancy within the last 5 years
coagulopathy
genetic disorders affecting fibroblasts or collagen production (eg. achondroplasia, osteogenesis imperfecta)
other serious diseases (eg. neurological cardiovascular, renal or hepatic disease, uncontrolled diabetes, etc) that, inthe opinion of the investigator, might confound study results or pose additional risk to the patient by their participation in the study.
