Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Active Combined Magnetic Field OL1000 Bone Growth Stimulator in people with Bimalleolar Ankle Fractures, run by Encore Medical, L.P. at 9 sites 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 1 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites 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.

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 Akujuobi Udu, MS (248-914-0150, akujuobi.udu@djoglobal.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change overtime of Olerud and Molander Ankle Score (OMAS) (time frame: 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 10 weeks and 12 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02688855, which also lists 2 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?
