What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Device Associated Adverse Events

    The primary objective is to report the number of participants with device associated adverse events.

    Device associated adverse events are defined as adverse events that are classified as possibly or definitely related to the study product or procedure, or anticipated adverse events listed in the product's Instruction for Use regardless of relationship to the study device.

    Measured: 12 Months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Clinical Functional Outcome - Adjusted Constant-Murley Score

    Evaluate clinical functional outcome Adjusted Constant-Murley Score. The Constant-Murley score (CMS) is a 100-points scale composed of a number of individual parameters. These parameters define the level of pain and the ability to carry out the normal daily activities of the patient.[1] The Constant-Murley score was introduced to determine the functionality after the treatment of a shoulder injury. The test is divided into four subscales: pain (15 points), activities of daily living (20 points), strength (25 points) and range of motion: forward elevation, external rotation, abduction and internal rotation of the shoulder (40 points). The higher the score, the higher the quality of the function. A score of 0 is considered the worst outcome and 100 is considered the best outcome.

    Measured: 6 Months

  2. Clinical Functional Outcome - Adjusted Constant-Murley Score

    Evaluate clinical functional outcome Adjusted Constant-Murley Score. The Constant-Murley score (CMS) is a 100-points scale composed of a number of individual parameters. These parameters define the level of pain and the ability to carry out the normal daily activities of the patient.[1] The Constant-Murley score was introduced to determine the functionality after the treatment of a shoulder injury. The test is divided into four subscales: pain (15 points), activities of daily living (20 points), strength (25 points) and range of motion: forward elevation, external rotation, abduction and internal rotation of the shoulder (40 points). The higher the score, the higher the quality of the function. A score of 0 is considered the worst outcome and 100 is considered the best outcome.

    Measured: 12 Month

  3. Clinical Functional Outcome - WORC Index

    Evaluate clinical functional outcome WORC Index. This is a quality-of-life measurement specific for rotator cuff disease based on 21 questions answered using visual analog scales. It is organized in 5 subscales: physical symptoms, sprots/recreation, work, lifestyle, and emotions. Each item has a possible score from 0-100 where higher scores represent a lower quality of life. The scores are summed up to a possible 2100 points. The total number of points is subtracted from 2100, divided by 2100, then multiplied by 100 to create a percentage. The final score is thus a percentage ranging from 0 to 100 with higher percentages indicating better quality of life.

    Measured: 6 Months

The final score is thus a percentage ranging from 0 to 100 with higher percentages indicating better quality of life.

    Measured: 12 Months

  5. Number of Study Participants With Re-tears

    Assess re-tears of the repaired tendon using ultrasound imaging. The definition of a re-tear for the rate reported is any full thickness tear in a tendon that was repaired with the BioFiber Scaffold that is at least 80% of the size of the original tear.

    Measured: 6 Months

  6. Number of Study Participants With Re-tears

    Assess re-tears of the repaired tendon using ultrasound imaging. The definition of a re-tear for the rate reported is any full thickness tear in a tendon that was repaired with the BioFiber Scaffold that is at least 80% of the size of the original tear.

    Measured: 12 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Full Thickness Rotator Cuff Tear, run by Stryker Trauma and Extremities at 3 sites in 2 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 22 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 3 sites in United States, France. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jun 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Participants With Device Associated Adverse Events (time frame: 12 Months). 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 22 Jun 2017.
