About this study

Official title: Use of Autologous Platelet Concentrate in Pre-Implantation Reconstruction of Maxilla.

This is a randomized open label trial that evaluates the efficacy of an autologous platelet concentrate (APC) in pre-implantation reconstruction of maxilla.

The sinus occlusion will be performed under general anaesthetic. On one side by the usual technique with hipbone transplant, the other side will be restored with APC mixed with autologous bone tissue removed from the surgery site.

The side selection will be determined by the randomization.

Read the detailed description

Rational

Maxillary Edentulous is one of the more frequent handicaps that cause many problems for dental prosthesis. Dental implants are currently the most convenient solution but require sufficient bone sinus height.

The filling of the sinus can be made by two ways :

  • Either with autologous bone removed from hipbone or cranial bone. This method has several drawbacks such as the multiplicity of the surgery sites.
  • Or with alloplasty materials that are subject to uncertain osseointegration and that are very expensive.

The aim of this study is to show the interest of an autologous platelet concentrate (APC) in this surgery. We will use the osteogenic property of platelets associated with a small quantity of spongy bone removed from the surgery site.

It has been previously demonstrated that platelets contain growth factors, in particular PDGF (platelet derivated growth factors), TGF-α1 and 2 (transforming growth factors) and IGF-1 (insulin like growth factor). These molecules have receptors on spongy bone, enhance mitosis, osteoblast differentiation, angiogenesis and induce the inhibition of osteoclats.

Method :

The sinus filling will be performed under general anaesthetic. On one side by the usual technique with hipbone transplant, the other side will be restored with APC mixed with autologous bone tissue removed from the surgery site.

The side selection will be determined by the randomization. For each patient a waiting period of 6 months is required before dental implants.

Twenty patients will be enrolled in this single-centre study with a follow-up of one year.

Main objective :

  • To demonstrate that the osteogenesis with APC mixed with a small quantity (1 to 2 cm2) of autologous bone tissue removed from the surgery site, has a sufficient quality to allow the dental implants.

Secondary Objectives :

  • To compare the osteogenesis with the current procedure (hipbone transplant)
  • To estimate the kinetic of osteogenesis using successive radiography.

What participants receive

  • cellular therapy : Autologous platelet concentrate (APC)Procedure or surgery

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Radiological outcome measure : the bone height under the sinus on the two sides.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Radiological outcome measure : the bone density

  2. Clinical outcome measure : assessment of the alveolar crest quality, possible orals complications, and complications at the removal site.

  3. Histological outcome measures : with bone core boring at the implant site.

  4. All these measurements will be matched for each patient on both sides.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing cellular therapy : Autologous platelet concentrate (APC) in people with Jaw, Edentulous and Tooth Loss, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Radiological outcome measure : the bone height under the sinus on the two sides.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00295126, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Mar 2008.
