About this study

Official title: Prospective Cohort Study on the Feasibility and Reliability of 'Open' Balloon Kyphoplasty in Types A3.2, A3.3, B1 and C1 MAGERL Classification Vertebral Fractures(STIC 4)

Some unstable traumatic vertebral fractures (types A3.2, A3.3, B1 et C1 according to MAGERL classification) may undergo unpredictable secondary displacement. Such fractures require a two session surgery with a first operation carried out immediately to achieve posterior fixation and a second surgery which is performed some days later to stabilize the anterior spine and restore stress resistance.

Goal of the present study is to show that percutaneous Balloon Kyphoplasty is able to restore anterior spine strength and replace second session surgery.

Read the detailed description

Patients with traumatic vertebral fractures type A3.2, A3.3, B1 and C1 of the MAGERL classification will be enrolled in this open study. They will be operated on in emergency to perform spinal canal decompression, fracture reduction and posterior fixation using fixation plates with pedicular screws combined with bone graft.

During the same surgery or some days later on, percutaneous Balloon kyphoplasty of the fractured vertebral body (ies) using polymethylmetacrylate cement injection through a posterior transpedicular approach will be carried out in replacement of anterior spine surgery to restore vertebral body strength.Patients will be followed up for one year.

Expected advantages of this management compared the conventional two session surgery include the following:

  • decreased morbidity due to suppression of the anterior surgery
  • improve final spine alignment and vertebral Kyphotic angle avoiding the loss in kyphotic angle which often occurs between the posterior and anterior surgery with the conventional two session surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Loss of less than 10 degrees in spine kyphosis angle at one year follow-up after surgery compared to postoperative measurements

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Pain evaluation using a visual analogic scale

    Measured: J-20 to J-7 - J6 - J45 - J90 - J180 - J360

  2. EIFEL questionnaire for back pain evaluation

    Measured: J-20 to J-7 - J6 - J45 - J90 - J180 - J360

  3. Quality of life evaluation (SF 12).

    Measured: J-20 to J-7 - J6 - J45 - J90 - J180 - J360

  4. Analgesics intake according to the WHO classification (Classes 1, 2 and 3).

    Measured: J-20 to J-7 - J6 - J45 - J90 - J180 - J360

  5. Regional spine Kyphosis angle and global thoracic and lumbar Kyphosis angle.

    Measured: J-20 to J-7 - J6 - J45 - J90 - J180 - J360

  6. Changes in anterior, mid and posterior vertebral heights of the treated vertebral body

    Measured: J-20 to J-7 - J6 - J45 - J90 - J180 - J360

  7. Changes in height of the intervertebral disc spaces adjacent to the treated vertebra.

    Measured: J-20 to J-7 - J6 - J45 - J90 - J180 - J360

  8. Number of new vertebral fractures occurring during the one year follow-up period.

    Measured: J-20 to J-7 - J6 - J45 - J90 - J180 - J360

  9. Cost evaluation in a sample of 10% of patients randomly selected including the following costs : o Intervention cost.o Medical treatment costs o Consultation costs. o Hospitalization cost o Complication costs

    Measured: J-20 to J-7 - J6 - J45 - J90 - J180 - J360

  10. Follow-up of anterior, median and posterior height of the treated vertebral body, obtained by making an average of all measurements, on 3 cuts tomodensitometry (TDM) on the sagittal level : lateral right, median and lateral left

    Measured: preoperative, at J6 and at J360

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing balloon kyphoplasty in people with One or Two Traumatic Vertebral Fractures and Located Between T11 and L5, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 13 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 4 Jan 2017. 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 France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: the number of patients recruited at present is sufficient for analysis.). 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?

Loss of less than 10 degrees in spine kyphosis angle at one year follow-up after surgery compared to postoperative measurements (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 4 Jan 2017.
