Trial summary

There are two distinct aims of this study: 1. This prospective study is designed to document the long-term (10-year) radiographic and clinical outcomes of a new type of highly cross-linked polyethylene liner which contains vitamin E as an anti-oxidant, (E-Poly), in a group of primary total hip arthroplasty subjects.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 20 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects requiring primary total hip replacement
  • Subjects with diagnosis of osteoarthritis or traumatic arthritis
  • Subjects who demonstrate the ability to return for follow-up for the next 10 years

Who cannot join

  • Subjects with limited life span
  • Subjects with difficulty in comprehending study protocol for any reason.
  • Subjects with inflammatory disease, previous infection or those requiring revision hip surgery.
  • Subjects with avascular necrosis
  • Subjects whose bony structures are so small that a femoral head less than 32mm in diameter must be used.
  • Subjects whose bony structure deviates substantially from the general norm sufficiently to require non-standard techniques and non-standard implants. Specific examples of these are total dislocation of the hip, severe coxa vera deformity, severe forms of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia
  • Subjects with complex disease entities which significantly increase the risks of the surgery such as any major platelet abnormality, hematological disorder, positive for HIV or any other major medical complication which substantially reduces longevity.
  • Female subjects that are pregnant or who may suspect they are pregnant or who plan to become pregnant while participating in this study.

About this study

Official title: Long-Term Multi-center Evaluation of E-Poly and Regenerex Cementless Acetabular Components: Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes

There are two distinct aims of this study:

  1. This prospective study is designed to document the long-term (10-year) radiographic and clinical outcomes of a new type of highly cross-linked polyethylene liner which contains vitamin E as an anti-oxidant, (E-Poly), in a group of primary total hip arthroplasty subjects. The clinical outcome of E-Poly will be compared to a group of subjects receiving Arcom XL polyethylene.
  2. This study is also designed to document the long-term (10-year) radiographic and clinical outcomes of a new cementless acetabular component having a titanium porous surface (Regenerex). The clinical outcome of this new FDA cleared device will be compared a group of subjects receiving an acetabular component having a plasma sprayed surface.

What is being measured

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

  1. Survivorship: length of time implant remains without revision

    Measured: Evaluated at 1,3,5,7 ,10th year over 10 years

  2. Complications and Adverse Events

    Measured: Evaluated at 1,3,5,7 ,10th year over 10 years

  3. Incidence of radiolucencies (acetabular component)

    Measured: Evaluated at 1,3,5,7 ,10th year over 10 years

  4. Patient administered Outcome Survey scores

    Measured: Evaluated at 1,3,5,7 ,10th year over 10 years

  5. Polyethylene wear rates from AP radiographs

    Measured: Evaluated at 1,3,5,7 ,10th year over 10 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Survivorship in subcategories of infection, aseptic loosening and other

    Measured: 1,3,5,7,10 yr over 10 years

  2. Subcategories of the outcome scores regarding pain, patient satisfaction, function,general quality of life.

    Measured: 1,3,5,7,10 yr over 10 years

  3. Other outcomes that may be relevant.

    Measured: 1,3,5,7,10 yr over 10 years

  4. Retrieval analysis

    Measured: 1,3,5,7,10 yr over 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Total Hip Arthroplasty in people with Osteoarthritis of Hip and Traumatic Arthritis of Hip, run by Massachusetts General Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 May 2017. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

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?

Survivorship: length of time implant remains without revision (time frame: Evaluated at 1,3,5,7 ,10th year over 10 years). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00545285, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 May 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
