Subjects must have ER/PR-positive breast cancer tumor with history of aromatase inhibitor-associated musculoskeletal symptoms (AIMSS) which resolved after cessation of their AI (anastrazole or letrozole) within 90 days of enrollment. Subjects will be stratified by initial AI, thus within each initial AI, subjects will be randomized to receive either the experimental treatment (hyaluronic acid) or placebo. Subjects will begin the assigned treatment for 2 weeks prior to transitioning to the second AI. Evaluations will be taken at baseline, 6 weeks (1 month on study drug and AI), 14 weeks (3 months on study drug and AI), and at 26 weeks (6 months on study drug and AI). Treatment with hyaluronic acid and placebo will last for 26 weeks total.', 'detailedDescription': "Primary Objective To determine whether oral HA will prevent AI-induced arthralgias and preserve physical function.\n\nSecondary Objectives\n\n1. To explore whether oral HA will have an acceptable safety and tolerability profile.\n2. To determine whether oral HA will prevent other AI associated symptoms as assessed by patient reported outcomes (PRO's).\n3. To assess how many of the subjects are 90% compliant with taking the HA as directed.\n\nExploratory Objective To determine if mi486, (a microRNA enriched in skeletal muscle) and other biomarkers associated with AIMSS (TNF, IL-6, IL-17) vary with the administration of HA."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'genderBased': True, 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Study Population ER/PR-Positive Breast Cancer Subjects whose AIMSS resolved with cessation of their AI and are candidates for switching to a different AI and who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be eligible for participation in this study.\n\nInclusion Criteria\n\n1.

Consumption of HA-containing supplements in the four weeks prior to study.\n4. Known allergy to microcrystalline cellulose or HA. Any questionable reaction to injected HA will be thoroughly investigated.\n5. Prolonged systemic corticosteroid treatment, except for topical applications (e.g., for rash), inhaled sprays (e.g., for obstructive airway diseases), eye drops or local insertion (i.e., intra-articular). A short duration of systemic corticosteroids is allowed but not within 30 days prior to registration.\n6. Self-reported compliance issues and lack of regular prescription filling.\n7.
