About this study

Official title: IlluminOss Medical- Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System- International Study

The purpose of this study is to assess the initial safety and technical feasibility of the IlluminOss System in the treatment of fractures of bones in the hand.

Being tested
IlluminOss device

What participants receive

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

  • IlluminOss deviceDevice

    The IlluminOss™ Bone Stabilization System is designed to deliver the device to the fracture site via the medullary canal of the bone using percutaneous techniques. Once the device is in place and has spanned the fracture site, the device is expanded and hardened to reduce and stabilize the fracture, to aid in the support and healing of the bone fracture by primary callous formation and remodeling.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing IlluminOss device in people with Orthopedic Fractures, run by IlluminOss Medical, Inc. at 1 site in Chile.

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 7 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 7 Jun 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 Chile. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 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?

Technical Success: Successful implantation of an IlluminOss bone-pin via percutaneous techniques at the target fracture location. (time frame: Immediately 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 7 Jun 2017.
