Implant test for severe partial rotator cuff shoulder tears
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a specific implant (the REGENETEN bioinductive implant) helps heal severe partial-thickness rotator cuff tears in the shoulder. You might benefit if you have a high-grade tear that didn’t improve after months of physical therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 or older and agree by signing consent forms
- Have a severe partial-thickness tear of the supraspinatus (with or without infraspinatus) only—over 50% or over 6 mm
- Have tried non-surgical treatment like physical therapy for at least 3 months without enough improvement
- Be able to come to all required study visits and fill out questionnaires
- Have enough healthy tendon tissue for the implant approach
- Follow the study’s physical therapy plan as your care team recommends

This study tracks how well patients recover after rotator cuff repair surgery using the REGENETEN bioinductive implant. It aims to see if the implant helps improve healing and outcomes.
This study tests if adding a special patch (BioEnthesis™) to standard rotator cuff surgery helps the tendon heal better. You may qualify if you have a tear that can be surgically repaired and you are willing to commit to a year of follow-up.
This study tests whether injecting your own stem cells (taken from belly fat) during rotator cuff repair helps the tendon heal better and reduces pain. It's for people with a recent, repairable tear who are otherwise healthy.
This trial studies a special patch placed during minimally invasive shoulder surgery to help heal full-thickness rotator cuff tears. It may help people whose tears are large or massive and who already tried non-surgical treatment without enough improvement.
This study tests a new implant called BioBrace to help repair full-thickness rotator cuff tears during shoulder surgery. It may be a good option if you have a moderate-sized tear, have already tried non-surgical treatments, and are between 40 and 70 years old.
This study is testing a new shoulder implant called the Integrity Implant System to see how well it works for people with rotator cuff tears. It may be a good fit if you need surgery to repair your torn tendon and meet the safety requirements.
