About this study

Official title: Post Market Clinical Follow-Up Study of the EVOLUTION® Total Knee Arthroplasty System With Cruciate Sacrificing Inserts

MPO is conducting this PMCF study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of its EVOLUTION® Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) components marketed in the EU. These types of studies are required by regulatory authorities for all devices that do not have medium to long-term clinical evidence available at the time of gaining approval to market in the EU. This study has been designed in accordance with MEDDEV 2.12/2 rev 2.

Read the detailed description

MicroPort Orthopedics Inc. (MPO) currently markets the EVOLUTION® TKA System globally, including in the European Union (EU). As part of the process for gaining approval to market in the EU, MicroPort is conducting this post market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this system. These types of studies are required by regulatory authorities for all TKA devices that do not have medium to long-term clinical evidence available at the time of gaining approval to market in the EU. The objectives of this study are to evaluate component survivorship, cumulative revision rate, functional outcome scores, and subject satisfaction at early, midterm, and long-term follow-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Component Survivorship

    The primary endpoints are analysis of survivorship for all components at each follow-up interval out to 10 years

    Measured: 10 years post-operative

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Patient functional outcomes scores (assessed by KOOS Scores and EQ-5D-3L Scores)

    To characterize functional scores for subjects, as assessed by KOOS Scores and EQ-5D-3L Scores

    Measured: 2-<5 years, 5-7 years, and 10 years

  2. Cumulative Revision Rate

    To determine the cumulative revision rate at specified intervals out to 10 years follow-up

    Measured: 2-<5 years, 5-7 years, and 10 years

  3. Subject Satisfaction (assessed by Patient Satisfaction Questionnaires)

    To assess subject satisfaction with their TKA procedure

    Measured: 2-<5 years, 5-7 years, and 10 years

  4. Number of Radiolucencies

    To summarize the number of radiolucencies in zones surrounding implanted components

    Measured: 2-<5 years, 5-7 years, and 10 years

  5. Size of Radiolucencies

    To summarize the size of radiolucencies in zones surrounding implanted components

    Measured: 2-<5 years, 5-7 years, and 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Joint Disease, run by MicroPort Orthopedics Inc. at 5 sites in 5 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 11 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States, Belgium, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Component Survivorship (time frame: 10 years 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 13 Oct 2022.
