Trial summary

The purpose of the clinical study is to characterize the efficacy and safety of a Percutaneous Osseointegrated Prosthesis (POP) device that can provide a satisfactory platform for direct skeletal attachment of prosthetic limbs, which includes a subdermal seal, thus allowing a proper biobarrier around the implant.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assess AP & Lateral x-rays for osteolysis, radioulucencies indicative of component moevent and orientation and stress shielding or bone remodeling around the implant

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Changes in Bone Mineral Density as collected using DEXA scan

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Changes in implant exit site using Modified Holgers Skin Metric

    Measured: 1 yr

  4. Analyze measurable changes in the stoma punch

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Analyze changes of walking and standing

    Three dimensional motion capture of walking and standing through a calibration volume that contains force plates

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Analyze changes in metabolic efficiency

    Measure CO2 and O2 exhaled, total energy cost for walking at slow, normal, fast; self-selected and/or fixed speeds while wearing a two-way valve.

    Measured: 1 year

  7. Analyze changes in 6 minute walk test

    Measured: 1 year

  8. Assess changes in Donning and Doffing prosthetic time

    Measured: 1 year

  9. Assess changes in Comprehensive High-Level Activity Mobility Predictor (CHAMP) test

    Measured: 1 year

  10. Changes in psychosocial adjustment with the Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales - Revised (TAPES-R) Part I, 37 questions

    Measured: 1 yr

  11. Changes in depressive symptomatology using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale Revisited (CES-D)

    Measured: 1 yr

  12. Changes in consequences of pain on relevant aspects of persons' lives using PROMIS: Pain Interference questions

    Measured: 1 yr

  13. Changes in ability to carry out activities that require physical actions using PROMIS: Physical Function

    Measured: 1 yr

  14. Changes in overall quality of life using QOL Visual Analog Scale, no numerical weighting

    Measured: 1 yr

  15. Changes in at-home prosthetic usage using StepWatch activity monitor

    Measured: 1 yr

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Percutaneous Osseintegrated Prosthesis in people with Traumatic Amputee, run by Encore Medical, L.P. 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 4 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 25 Mar 2016. 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. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assess AP & Lateral x-rays for osteolysis, radioulucencies indicative of component moevent and orientation and stress shielding or bone remodeling around the implant (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 15 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 NCT02720159, 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 25 Mar 2016.
