About this study

Official title: Retrieved Allograft Study: Retrospective Study of the Biomechanical Properties of Large Allografts

Primary Objectives:

  1. To evaluate the material properties, histomorphometric indices, bone mineral density (BMD), and presence of microfractures in retrieved large allograft cortical bone specimens removed from orthopaedic oncology patients.
  2. To correlate physical properties to patient demographics and medical treatment received.
Read the detailed description

Allograft Surgery:

As a standard of care, you will be having surgery to remove allograft tissue that has failed or because there were other complications following your earlier transplant. You will be separately consented for this surgery, which will describe the procedure and its risks in detail.

Tissue Research:

If you agree to take part in this study, leftover sample of the removed allograft bone will be collected and used to learn about the properties (such as bone strength, bone density, and new bone formation) of the removed transplant tissue. This tissue will be stored at the University of Arkansas for use in this study. Any remaining leftover tissue will be destroyed by the end of December 2011.

Data Collection:

Before you have surgery, you will have an x-ray. This is also part of standard of care. If you take part in this study, this x-ray will be used to learn about the properties of the transplant tissue.

All other information will be coming from your medical record, either from your past visits or as a result of your surgery. The information being collected will include information about your graft during the time it was within your body and observations made by your surgeon at its removal.

Length of Study:

Your participation in this study will be over after your tissue and data are collected.

This is an investigational study. Up to 200 patients will be enrolled on this multicenter study. Up to 20 will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

What is being measured

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

  1. To learn about properties (such as bone strength, bone density, and new bone formation) of removed transplant tissue and how it integrated with participant's own tissues during the time it was implanted.

    Measured: 3 Years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To compare information such as the reasons this allograft was used and the length of time before it was removed to other patients who have received similar allograft tissues that were removed.

    Measured: 3 Years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bone Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 1 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 1 Aug 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 was stopped early (reason given: Low accrual.). 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?

To learn about properties (such as bone strength, bone density, and new bone formation) of removed transplant tissue and how it integrated with participant's own tissues during the time it was implanted. (time frame: 3 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 1 Aug 2012.
