About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Longitudinal Patient Study on CERAMENT™|BONE VOID FILLER in Benign Bone Tumors

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability a injectable bi-phasic ceramic bone substitute to provide bone generation and bone remodeling in patients with benign bone tumors.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study is to assess the usefulness of injectable bi-phasic ceramic bone substitute (CERAMENT™ |BONE VOID FILLER) in patients with benign bone tumors. The primary objectives is to:

  1. Assess the ability of bi-phasic ceramic bone substitute to provide bone generation and bone remodeling in patients with benign bone tumors.
  2. Assess the safety of bi-phasic ceramic bone substitute as measured by device complaint/Adverse Events monitoring and documentation of subsequent surgical procedure.
  3. In the case of bone cysts assess the ability of bi-phasic ceramic bone substitute to transform into bone and possibly induce bone formation in regions of the cyst not filled with the product.

Benign bone tumors are often treated with intralesional curettage which creates a bone defect that can be filled with e.g. demineralized bone matrix, autologous bone, ceramic bone substitutes or polymethylmetacrylate cement.

Autograft has been considered the golden standard because it possesses all three of the essential elements required for an optimal bone graft, but is associated with morbidity at the donor site and is limited in supply. Allograft has been employed as a good alternative to autograft but the concern for potential disease transmission remains. Synthetic bone graft substitutes have been gaining popularity as viable alternatives for void and defect filling eliminating the concerns with autograft and allograft. These synthetic bone substitutes have invariably been based on calcium phosphate and/or calcium sulfate materials which are osteoconductive and facilitate bone remodeling, although side effects such as drainage and wound complications slow remodeling to bone or negligible bone generation have limited their use. Thus, new synthetic bone substitutes with described positive effects in vertebroplasty, osteotomy, and smaller trauma defects merit further investigation also in treatment of larger bone defects.

In a prospective series, patients with benign bone tumors were treated by minimal invasive intervention with a bi-phasic and injectable ceramic bone substitute (CERAMENT™ BONE VOID FILLER), composed of 60% weight synthetic calcium sulfate (CaS) and 40% weight hydroxyapatite (HA) powder was mixed with a water-soluble radio-contrast agent iohexol (180 mg/ml) to make the material radiopaque. The defects were treated by either mini-invasive surgery (solid tumors) or percutaneous injection (cysts) and followed clinically and radiologically for 12 months. CT scan was performed after 12 months to confirm bone remodeling of the bone substitute. All patients were allowed full weight bearing immediately after surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. bone remodeling according to Neer classification

    Evaluate bone healing and remodeling at 12 month by X-ray and CT-scan using Modified Neer classification of radiological results.

    Measured: 12 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. cyst and bone formation volume

    Calculate the pre-operative volume of the cyst, document the volume of product placed into the cyst and the volume of bone formed at 12 months.

    In the case of bone cysts assess the ability of CERAMENT™ |BONE VOID FILLER to transform into bone and possibly induce bone formation in regions of the cyst not filled with the product.

    Measured: 12 months after surgery

  2. adverse events

    Assess the safety of CERAMENT™|BONE VOID FILLER as measured by number of any device complaint/Adverse Event and any subsequent surgical procedure.

    Measured: 12 months after surgery

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?

bone remodeling according to Neer classification (time frame: 12 months after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02567084, which also lists 18 linked publications.

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 Oct 2015.
