Trial summary

This is a 1:1 randomised pilot study in 30 patients in 1 site in Helsinki, Finland. The investigators hypothesize that function, pain, type and quality of cartilage in adult patients with osteochondritis dissecans of the knee will be better in the DBX group compared to the mosaicplasty group.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Subject-blind, Controlled Pilot Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of the Use of Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBX®) Versus Mosaicplasty in the Treatment of Late-Stage Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD) of the Knee in Patients With a Mature Skeleton

This is a 1:1 randomised pilot study in 30 patients in 1 site in Helsinki, Finland.

The investigators hypothesize that function, pain, type and quality of cartilage in adult patients with osteochondritis dissecans of the knee will be better in the DBX group compared to the mosaicplasty group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of Brittberg-Peterson functional assessment score from baseline until 12 months post-op

    Score 0-130 (see Clin Orthop Relat Res 2000 May;374:212-34) to assess function and pain

    Measured: At enrollment (day -7), at full weight-bearing (6-8 weeks post-operative), 6 months post-operative, 12 months post-operative

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Type and quality of the formed cartilage to assess the effectiveness of the treatment

    The type and quality of the newly formed cartilage will be assessed with arthroscopy and/or MRI /dGEMRIC)

    Measured: 12 months post-operative

  2. Number of patients with complications to assess the safety of the use of the treatment

    All adverse events and complications will be recorded throughout the trial and assessed for severity and causality.

    Measured: Enrolment (day -7) until 12 months post-operative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing DBX Putty and Mosaicplasty in people with Osteochondritis Dissecans, run by Synthes GmbH at 1 site in Finland.

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 12 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2012. 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 Finland. 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 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?

Change of Brittberg-Peterson functional assessment score from baseline until 12 months post-op (time frame: At enrollment (day -7), at full weight-bearing (6-8 weeks post-operative), 6 months post-operative, 12 months post-operative). 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 26 Jun 2012.
