Trial summary

SUMMARY A prospective, randomized, single-blinded clinical trial is proposed to compare three tibial tray designs for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.

About this study

SUMMARY A prospective, randomized, single-blinded clinical trial is proposed to compare three tibial tray designs for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. This study is designed to address the clinically important issues of tibial component modularity and fixation in total knee replacement. The Zimmer NexGen Legacy knee system is an FDA approved device and in this study will be used with 1) a modular tibial tray inserted with cement and 2) a non-modular tibial tray inserted with cement, and 3) a non-modular tibial tray inserted without cement. The insertion of total knee components without cement has been done clinically for over 20 years but has not been specifically approved by the FDA. Thus treatment arm 3, a non-modular tray inserted without cement, would involve the so-called off-label use of the device.

136 cases will be assigned to each arm of the study. Each patient will be assessed two months after surgery, one year after surgery, two years after surgery, five years after surgery, and every three to five years thereafter. The principal outcome measures will be the Knee Society Clinical rating scale, the SF-36 and the presence of significant lucent lines.. These measures will be compared among patients in the 3 trial arms at 5 years post surgery (or at the last follow-up point for those who drop out or become lost to follow-up). The Knee Society scores and SF-36 scores will be analyzed using analysis of variance models Rates of significant lucencies, perioperative mortality, as well as complications such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolus, neurovascular complication, and infection will be compared among the groups using chi-square tests . Rates of revision surgery will be compared among the groups using survivorship methods.

PURPOSE The primary aim of the study is to compare the results obtained with each of three tibial designs for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Those results will be measured with disease-specific (Knee Society Scores), global (SF-36), and outcome measures. Radiographic results consisting of standing alignment, lateral and skyline views of the surgical knee will be recorded and analyzed. Completion of the intial investigation will occur at the 5-year interval after the last enrolled patient.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing The Zimmer NexGen Legacy Knee System, modular cemented tibia, The Zimmer NexGen Legacy Knee System, non-modular cemented tibia. and The Zimmer NexGen Legacy Knee System, non-modular uncemented tibia in people with Total Knee Arthroplasty, run by Mayo Clinic 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 May 2012. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The primary aim of the study is to compare the results obtained with each of 3 tibial designs for patients undergoing TKA. Those results will be measured with disease-specific (Knee Society Scores), global (SF-36), and outcome measures. (time frame: 2 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 28 May 2012.
