About this study

Official title: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY TO EVALUATE SURGICAL OUTCOMES IN SUBJECTS WITH FULL-THICKNESS ROTATOR CUFF TEARS TREATED BY MEANS OF A DOUBLE-ROW ARTHROSCOPIC REPAIR.

This is an observational study that involves subjects with full-thickness rotator cuff tears treated by means of arthroscopy surgical repair, also known as arthroscopic surgery. The primary objective of this study is to observe the timing and rate of tendon retear in those subjects.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be recruited from each surgeon's surgical practice. They will be reviewed to assure they meet all eligibility criteria prior to enrolling them into the study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Observational study of the surgical outcomeOther

    Subjects return for 7 follow-up visits following arthroscopic repair of their rotator cuff. During the follow-up visits subjects undergo imaging with MRI and ultrasound.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary objective is to observe the rate and timing of tendon retear in subjects with full thickness rotator cuff tears (RCTs) treated by means of arthroscopic surgery.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Determine the correlation of functional outcomes over time in subjects with retears compared with subjects who have an intact cuff repair using the Constant Murley Shoulder Score as well as strength and range of motion.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Determination of the correlation between imaging biomarkers (muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration) and the subjects outcome (retear and function).

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Estimation of the relationship between patient reported outcomes and subject's surgical and functional outcomes.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Evaluation of the ability to define

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Observation of any comorbidity associated with the arthroscopic surgical procedure through the collection of adverse events to provide and SOC reference for future safety studies.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rotator Cuff and Arthroscopic Surgery, run by Pfizer at 37 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 2 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 16 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 37 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?

The primary objective is to observe the rate and timing of tendon retear in subjects with full thickness rotator cuff tears (RCTs) treated by means of arthroscopic surgery. (time frame: 1 year). 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 16 Feb 2021.
