    Measured: 2, 3, 4.5, 6, and 12 months

  3. Time to return to full activity

    Measured: 2, 3, 4.5, 6, and 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Swelling, stiffness, pain, disease specific quality of life: SF-36, AOFAS Hindfoot scores

    Measured: 6 weeks, 2, 3, 4.5, 6 and 12 months

  2. Complication rate including re-rupture and incision wound healing delay

    Measured: 6 weeks, 2, 3, 4.5, 6 and 12 months

  3. Incidence of device and procedure-related adverse events

    Measured: 6 weeks, 2, 3, 4.5, 6 and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Achilles repair with OrthADAPT augmentation and Achilles repair without OrthADAPT Augmentation in people with Achilles Tendon Tear, run by Baxter Healthcare Corporation at 1 site 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 9 inclusion and 23 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Apr 2017.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 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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Improvement in ROM and Biodex Isokinetic Strength Testing compared to contralateral limb (time frame: 2, 3, 4.5, 6, and 12 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 Apr 2017.
