About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Local Delivery of MicroRNAs and MicroRNA Inhibitors in Promoting Osteogenesis and Modulating Local Inflammation: A Pilot Clinical Trial Using the Tooth Socket Model

To evaluate the efficacy of locally delivering plasmid DNAs encoding microRNAs, and/or microRNA inhibitors, in the promotion of osteogenesis and modulation of the inflammatory response on the basis of different clinical, radiographic, histologic and biomolecular outcomes in post-extraction socket defects in humans.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of locally delivering plasmid DNAs encoding microRNAS and/or microRNA inhibitors, a naturally occurring microRNA molecule, in the promotion of bone formation and attenuation of local inflammation in a tooth socket model in humans.

Patients requiring tooth extractions and future tooth replacement therapy with a dental implant will be eligible for the study. Recruited subjects will be randomly assigned to either a control (tooth extraction and 10µg empty vector in bovine collagen sponge) or one of 3 experimental groups:

  • Experimental group 1: Tooth extraction and bovine collagen sponge containing 10µg of pSil-miR200c
  • Experimental Group 2: Tooth extraction and bovine Collagen sponge containing 10µg of PMIS miR200a
  • Experimental Group 3: Tooth extraction and bovine Collagen sponge containing 5µg of pSil-miR200c and 5µg of PMIS miR200a

Subjects will be clinically re-evaluated at 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks. In each one of these visits, a fluid sample will be obtained from the healing site in a minimally invasive manner to assess local biomolecular profiles. Blood samples will be drawn at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 14 week visits to assess for miR-200c and PMIS-miR 200a expression and liver function. Photos and/or videos will also be obtained. A CBCT scan and a saliva sample (approx. 2 ml) will also be obtained at baseline and at 14 weeks to assess bone volume and intraoral biomolecular profiles, respectively.

Implant placement surgery will be performed at 16 weeks from the time of tooth extraction. A bone core biopsy will be harvested at this time for histologic analysis. A periapical radiograph (small dental x-ray image) will be obtained at baseline (before tooth extraction) and at 14 weeks (prior to implant placement) to assess bone height changes.

Follow-up visits will occur at 6 months and 12 months post implant at which time measurements and photos will be taken.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing tooth extraction, CBCT scan and Anesthesia in people with Tooth Extraction Status Nos, run by Gustavo Avila-Ortiz DDS, MS, PhD at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 13 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 2019. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Percent of mineralized tissue upon histomorphometric analysis of bone core biopsies (time frame: at 16 weeks postoperatively). 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 17 Jul 2019.
