About this study

Official title: Study #91-01 - A Randomized Study of the Stryker OP Device vs. Bone Autograft for the Treatment of Tibial Nonunions

This study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the OP device for the treatment of nonunion bone fractures and to compare the healing rates of the OP Device to that of autograft.

Read the detailed description

This study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the OP device for the treatment of nonunion bone fractures and to compare the clinical safety and effectiveness (healing rates) of the OP Device to that of traditional bone autografts to repair nonunions.

Being tested
Surgical implantation of OP-1 device or autograft bone graft material

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Surgical implantation of OP-1 device or autograft bone graft material in people with Tibial Nonunions, run by Olympus Biotech Corporation at 18 sites 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 10 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites 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?

No further retreatment of the surgical site, function and pain at the site of the nonunion, evidence of bridging. (time frame: 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 months). 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 10 Jun 2011.
