About this study

Official title: Prospektiv Randomisert Sammenlikning Mellom Percutan nålefasciotomi og Xiapex for Dupuytrens Kontraktur

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether percutaneous needle fasciotomy is as effective for treating Dupuytrens contracture as Xiapex. Immidiate treatment effect is to be investigated, as iskontracture size after 5 years. Contracture size after one and three years, and subjective hand function is also to be investigated.

Read the detailed description

Prospective randomized study between Percutanous Needle Fasciotomy and Xiapex for Dupuytrens contracture.

A total of 50 patiens are to be randomized to eighter percutaneous needle fasciotomy or Xiapex treatment.

The patients randomized to xiapex treatment are treated as described in the product manual. Extentin treatment after one day.

The patients randomized to percutaneous needle fasciotomy are treated with the cutting teqnique: A littel quaddle local anestesia (xylocaine with adrenaline) is to be injected subcutant over the cord. After thet we use a 19G needle to cut the cord sufficient number sites to extend the finger.

The patients will be follwed up at 3 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years. Investigators record contracture size, quicq-DASH, pain (VAS) and hand disability (VAS) pretreatment and at all controlls. At 3 weeks investigators register procedure complain. Side effects and complications, and advere effects are also to be investigated.

Our hypothesis is that it is no difference between the two methods in regard of contracture size after five years.

Inclution criteria: Symptomatic primary Dupuytrens contracture with palpable cord in one to three fingers, involving MCP, and total contracture size is over 30 degrees. Patient age over 18 years.

Exclution criteria:

Previously treated Dupuytrens contracture in the same hand more than tree affected fingers we will not include thumbs Other symptomatic injury or disease influencingf hand function ASA>3 Expected lifetime less than five years tetracycline treatment within two weeks pregnancy nursing allergy to clostridium histolyticum concmittent other clinical trial

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing xiapex and percutaneous needle fasciotomy in people with Dupuytrens Contracture, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jun 2015. 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 Norway. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 hallgeir bratberg, MD (+4790578848, hbratber@ous-hf.no), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

contracture size (degrees) (time frame: five years). 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 19 Jun 2015.
