Trial summary

Reverse total shoulder replacement surgery (RTSA) is performed for individuals with advanced arthritis of the shoulder who also have tears in their rotator cuff muscles. A metal hemisphere is placed in the shoulder blade, and a plastic cup on a stem is placed in the upper arm. Read more about this study

About this study

Reverse total shoulder replacement surgery (RTSA) is performed for individuals with advanced arthritis of the shoulder who also have tears in their rotator cuff muscles. A metal hemisphere is placed in the shoulder blade, and a plastic cup on a stem is placed in the upper arm. This orientation is opposite to the normal anatomy, giving rise to the term "reverse" shoulder replacement. While RTSA has a good clinical track record, no studies have examined how well fixed the implanted components are within patients.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
pressfit humerus & non-lateralized glenoidActive comparatorAll patients will receive a Delta XTEND reverse shoulder implant (DePuy Synthes, Warsaw, IN). At the time of surgery, 0.8 mm diameter Tantalum marker beads will be injected into the bone surrounding the implant, (n = 6 surrounding the glenoid and n = 6 surrounding the proximal humerus). Half of the patients (n = 20) will be randomized by an opaque envelope intra-operatively to receive a cemented humeral component, and half will be randomized to receive a press-fit (uncemented). Similarly, half of the patients (n = 20) will be randomized by an opaque envelope intra-operatively to receive a lateralized glenoid component, and half will be randomized to receive a non-lateralized glenoid component.Therefore, 4 randomization groups will be created and one of them is -pressfit humerus \& non-lateralized glenoid.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing surgery and 0.8 mm diameter Tantalum marker beads in people with Arthritis, run by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Kate Kelly, M.Sc,MPH/Gero (519-646-6100 ext. 64640, Kate.Kelly@sjhc.london.on.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

migration between cemented and press-fit RTSA humeral components detected by Radiostereometric analysis (time frame: 24 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 24 Mar 2017.
