About this study

Official title: A Prospective Multi-center Study on E1 Acetabular Liner in THA

Evaluate E1 wear, Clinical Performance of E1 liner in THA in Korean Patient Population

Read the detailed description

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful surgical procedures in general. Yet, a few problems remain unsolved, and aseptic loosening is probably the most important of them. One of the main reasons for aseptic loosening in THA is the foreign body reaction caused by the wear particles. Since the late 1990s, the orthopedic industry has been developing highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXLPE) materials to capitalize on the increased wear resistance. In 2007, E1® Antioxidant Infused Technology was developed to reduce wear rate, maintain mechanical properties and prevent oxidative degradation.

What participants receive

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

  • E1-Hip BearingDevice

    Vitamin E doping of highly cross-linked polyethylene is a proposed method for insuring long-term oxidative stability of highly cross-linked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene for use in total joint arthroplasty. In vitro research and development studies have shown that this material has improved wear performance, retention of mechanical properties, and a high resistance to oxidation due to the anti-oxidative properties of Vitamin E.

What is being measured

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

  1. HHS score

    Comparison in clinical outcomes scores between preoperative and various postoperative time points

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (17)
  1. Hip Functions

    Harris Hip Score at post follow-up visit

    Measured: 6 Months

  2. EQ5D

    Standardised instrument for use as a measure of health outcome

    Measured: 6 Months

  3. Modified University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Activity Score

    It asks patients to rate their activity level from 1 to 10, with 1 defined as "no physical activity" and 10 defined as "regular participation in impact sports".

    Harris Hip Score at post follow-up visit

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Hip Functions

    Harris Hip Score at post follow-up visit

    Measured: 2 years

  7. Hip Functions

    Harris Hip Score at post follow-up visit

    Measured: 5 years

  8. EQ5D

    Standardised instrument for use as a measure of health outcome

    Measured: 1 year

  9. EQ5D

    Standardised instrument for use as a measure of health outcome

    Measured: 2 years

  10. EQ5D

    Standardised instrument for use as a measure of health outcome

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoarthritis and Avascular Necrosis, run by Zimmer Biomet at 1 site in South Korea.

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 11 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2025. 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 South Korea. 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 stopped early (reason given: Sponsor decided to terminate study.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

HHS score (time frame: 1 year). 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 2 Apr 2025.
