About this study

Official title: Prospective Multicenter Randomized Study Comparing Two Standard Treatments: SpineJack® System and Conservative Orthopedic Management in Acute Traumatic Vertebral Fractures Types A1 and A3.1 According to the Magerl Classification

This study will compare two standard treatments in acute stable traumatic vertebral fractures (types A1 and A3.1 by Magerl Classification). The two treatments are as follows:

  1. SpineJack® system
  2. Conservative Orthopedic Management consisting of brace and pain medication.
Read the detailed description

100 subjects (18 to 60 years old) will be enrolled (1:1) with one to two painful traumatic fractures, non-pathological (types A1 and A3.1 by Magerl Classification).

Subjects will be followed at admission, procedure, discharge, 1 month, 3 months, 12 months and 24 months post Vertebral Compression Fracture (VCF) reduction procedure or the set-up of the brace.

The estimated enrollment period is 12 months and each patient should perform a 24 months follow-up period. Therefore, the total study duration is estimated to be 36 months for the complete study.

  4. Regional Kyphotic Angle

    Measured: Screening/baseline, immediat post-op, 1, 3, 12 and 24 months

  5. Evaluation of safety through evaluation of adverse events

    Measured: Screening/baseline, immediat post-op, 1, 3, 12 and 24 months

  6. Costs comparison of overall treatments

    Measured: Screening/baseline, immediat post-op, 1, 3, 12 and 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SpineJack system and Conservative management in people with Spinal Fractures and Vertebral Compression Fractures, run by Vexim SA at 9 sites in France.

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 6 inclusion and 16 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in France. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

VAS (time frame: 1 and 12 months follow-up). 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 NCT02657265, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Apr 2023.
