• •11. Has any concurrent chronic joint, muscle, or nerve pain condition within 1 month prior to the Screening Visit (participant self-report acceptable), including but not limited to, cervical spine pain or conditions causing radicular pain or peripheral nerve injury/entrapment (eg, brachial plexus injury or suprascapular nerve entrapment); diabetic neuropathy of upper extremities; post-herpetic neuralgia; post-stroke pain; or fibromyalgia that may affect sensation of the index shoulder.
• •12. painDETECT Questionnaire (PD-Q) score \>18 during Screening Visit.
• •13.

• •14. Any planned surgeries in the upper limbs and/or cervical spine during the study period, or any other surgery during the study period that would require use of a restricted medication.
• •Previous or Concomitant Treatment-Related Criteria
• •15. Presence of surgical hardware or other foreign body due to open or arthroscopic cartilage transplant or bone grafting procedures in the index shoulder.
• •16. Use of muscle relaxants (eg, cyclobenzaprine, tetrazepam, and diazepam) or oral/topical therapies (eg, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs \[NSAIDs\], CBD oil, capsaicin, lidocaine patches, or other local treatments) applied to the index shoulder within 1 month prior to Screening Visit or within 5 half-lives of last dose.
• •17. The use of corticosteroids (any route of administration: IA, intrabursal, intratendinous, intravenous \[IV\], intramuscular \[IM\], oral, or inhaled) within 3 months of Screening Visit except occasional (non-daily use \<1 month) topical and intranasal steroid use within 1 month prior to dosing. Treatment in another joint during this timeframe is exclusionary.
• •18. IA treatment of index shoulder with any of the following agents within 6 months or 5 half-lives of Screening: hyaluronic acid (investigational or marketed) or any biologic agent (eg, platelet rich plasma \[PRP\] injection, stem cells, prolotherapy, and amniotic fluid-derived product).
• •19. Significant changes with regard to physical activity, physical therapy, or lifestyle within 1 month of the Screening Visit, or any planned changes throughout the duration of the study.
• •20. Use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)/serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) (eg, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, citalopram, escitalopram, sertraline, duloxetine, and venlafaxine, milnacipran) if the dose is not stable for at least 3 months prior to Screening Visit and must remain stable throughout the study.
• •21. Any treatment with acupuncture and/or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) within 3 months of Screening Visit.
• •Participant-Related Criteria
• •22. Females who are pregnant or nursing or plan to become pregnant within 12 months after dosing; men whose partner plans to conceive within 12 months after dosing.
• •23. Participants with clinically relevant level of pain catastrophizing defined as Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) score of ≥30 at Screening Visit.
• •24. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to any form of triamcinolone or PLGA.
• •25. Laboratory evidence of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies.
• •26. A medical history suggesting the participant will or is likely to require a course of systemic corticosteroids during the study.
• •27. History or evidence of active or latent systemic fungal or mycobacterial infection (including tuberculosis) or of ocular herpes simplex.

• •29. Use of immunomodulators, immunosuppressives, or chemotherapeutic agents within 5 years of Screening.
• •30. Active or history of malignancy within 5 years of Screening, with the exception of resected basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or effectively managed cervical carcinoma.
• •31. History of radiation treatment involving the index shoulder girdle.
• •32. Active substance use/abuse (drugs or alcohol) or history of substance abuse within 12 months of Screening. Positive drug test results due to prescribed attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications with at least 6 months of stable dosing is permitted.
• •33. Has received a live vaccine (eg, measles, mumps, and rubella \[MMR\], rotavirus, yellow fever, varicella, influenza (nasal spray version only), Bacillus Calmette-Guérin \[BCG\], and polio) within 3 months of Baseline/Day 1.
• •34. Has received an inactivated vaccination (eg, flu, COVID, tetanus, tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis \[Tdap\], hepatitis A) within 1 week prior to the Screening Visit and local injection pain has not resolved.

Any other clinically significant acute or chronic medical conditions (eg, asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease \[COPD\] requiring steroid use, poorly controlled diabetes with hemoglobin A1c \[HbA1c\] of greater than 9.5%) that, in the judgment of the Investigator, could compromise participant safety, preclude the use of an IA corticosteroid, limit the participant's ability to complete the study, or compromise the objectives of the study.
• •38. Participants contraindicated to the use of acetaminophen/paracetamol (allowed rescue pain medicine) per National Product Labeling and Investigator's judgment.
• •39. Participant is the Investigator or any Subinvestigator, research assistant, pharmacist, study coordinator, or other staff or relative thereof directly involved in the conduct of the study.
