Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the P.F.C. Sigma RPF knee accommodates functional stability with a post-operative passive range of motion of greater than 125° of flexion and to demonstrate that the range of motion does not compromise the longevity of the implant.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Non-Comparative Multi Centre Study to Evaluate the Clinical Performance of the DePuy Press Fit Condylar (P.F.C.) Sigma Rotating Platform High Flexion Knee.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the P.F.C. Sigma RPF knee accommodates functional stability with a post-operative passive range of motion of greater than 125° of flexion and to demonstrate that the range of motion does not compromise the longevity of the implant.

Read the detailed description

Primary endpoint is to demonstrate that 90% of patients have a functionally stable knee that can achieve post operative range of motion of 125 degrees or greater.

The secondary endpoint is to investigate the survivorship of the P.F.C. Sigma RP-F knee at 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 years

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with a functionally stable knee that can achieve post-operative range of motion of 125° or greater.

    Proportion of cases that have a functionally stable knee (Q10 of Oxford Knee Score is 'rarely/never' or 'sometimes, or just at first'), AND can achieve 1-year post-op passive range of motion of 125 degrees or greater.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Survivorship of the P.F.C.® Sigma RPF knee at 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 years.

    Measured: 1, 2, 3 and 5 years

  2. American Knee Society Change from Baseline Knee and Function Scores at 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 years

    Measured: 1, 2, 3 and 5 years

  3. Radiographic assessments at 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 years

    Measured: 1, 2, 3 and 5 years

  4. Oxford Knee Score at 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 years

    Measured: 1, 2, 3 and 5 years

  5. Patellar Score at 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 years

    Measured: 1, 2, 3 and 5 years

  6. SF-12 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 years

    Measured: 1, 2, 3 and 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing P.F.C. Sigma RP-F Total Knee Replacement in people with Osteoarthritis, run by DePuy International at 8 sites in 7 countries.

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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United Kingdom, India, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore and 2 more countries. 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: Study was terminated early due to prolonged recruitment period.). 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?

Number of patients with a functionally stable knee that can achieve post-operative range of motion of 125° or greater. (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 20 Jun 2016.
