About this study

Official title: Multicenter Double Blind, With Evaluator Blinding, Parallel, Randomized Clinical Trial, to Assess the Efficacy of Platelet Rich Plasma for Treatment of Muscle Rupture With Haematoma

This is a multicenter, simple blind, masking of outcomes assessors, parallel, randomised clinical trial in patient with muscle rupture and with hematoma production. The main hypothesis is that infiltration in the area of muscle injury in autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP)improves muscle regeneration and repair by shortening the time to complete recovery.

The main objective is to evaluate the PRP for healing muscular lesions 'tennis leg' type or distal rectus femoral. The secondary objectives are: to evaluate the risk of lesion recurrence; to evaluate the quality of lesion recovery process and evaluate intervention's safety.

Experimental treatment will be the administration of PRP autologous (4-8 cc in a unique dose) by muscular infiltration en the empty space generated after the hematoma evacuation. Control treatment will be hematoma evacuation. Both treatment groups will use compressive bandage and they will recommend rest, extremity elevation, local ice and lately physiotherapy.

Size sample: 76 patients (38 in each group)

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to complete recover of muscular lesions

    The complete recovering will be when the patient does his habitual activity.

    Measured: weekely assessment during 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Percentage of muscular lesion recurrence.

    Percentage of patients with muscular lesion recurrence.

    Muscular lesion recurrence will be considered if there are symptoms and a lesion gap by ultra sound scan.

    Measured: During all study (one year of follow-up)

  2. Percentage of healing

    Percentage of patients with the healed lesion

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Quality of the regenerated area

    By ultrasonography, the characteristics of the wound will be quantified (size, fibrosis)

    Measured: at 8 week

  4. Pain

    The pain will be measured by a VAS each week, the first 8 weeks of the study and, at 6 and 12 month.

    Measured: 12 months

  5. Adverse effects to treatments

    Adverse effects will be assessed each week, the first 8 weeks of the study and, at 6 and 12 month.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Autologous Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Evacuation of haematoma in people with Muscle Injuries, run by Institut de Terapia Regenerativa Tissular at 1 site in Spain.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 10 Jan 2013. 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 Spain. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Time to complete recover of muscular lesions (time frame: weekely assessment during 8 weeks). 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 10 Jan 2013.
