What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in the Mean VAS Pain Score Between Subjects Receiving LCS Complete Duofix™ and Porocoat® Knee Systems at 12 Months.

    The visual analog scale (VAS) pain score asks the subject to place a vertical mark anywhere on a horizontal line (that is approximately 10 cm long) with 'No pain' listed on the left (scored as 0) and 'Very severe pain' labeled on the right (scored as 10). The subject is instructed to indicate the amount of pain they feel in their knee joint

    Measured: 12 Months Post Surgery

Secondary outcomes (26)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing LCS Complete Duofix and LCS Complete Porocoat in people with Osteoarthritis, run by DePuy International at 1 site in Ireland.

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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jan 2020. 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 Ireland. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Aug 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Difference in the Mean VAS Pain Score Between Subjects Receiving LCS Complete Duofix™ and Porocoat® Knee Systems at 12 Months. (time frame: 12 Months Post Surgery). 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 14 Jan 2020.
