About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Study Comparing iASSIST Knee System Versus Conventional Instrumentation

The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of knee component alignment between patients operated with iASSIST Knee (Investigational group) versus patients operated without iASSIST Knee (Control group) using the same implant system.

Read the detailed description

Objective: To compare the accuracy of knee component alignment between patients operated with iASSIST Knee (Investigational group) versus patients operated without iASSIST Knee (Control group) using the same implant system.

Endpoint: Primary: The alignment accuracy of the knee femoral and tibial components at 6 months for the investigational group compared to the control group.

Secondary:Health Status after TKA, Operating Room efficiency and Complication rate after TKA for the investigational group compared to the control group.

Being tested
Persona Knee System, Total Knee Arthroplasty, iAssist Knee
Medical subject headings
Osteoarthritis, Knee

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Persona Knee SystemDevice

    Also called Persona Knee

    Osteoarthritis will be enrolled and randomly assigned into one of two treatment groups. Patients in investigational group will be treated with total knee arthroplasty and the accelerometer-based navigational device. Patients in control group will be treated with total knee arthroplasty with conventional instrumentation.

  • Total Knee ArthroplastyProcedure or surgery

    Also called TKA

    Damaged cartilage due to degerative arthritis is replaced by knee joint prosthesis.

  • iAssist KneeDevice

    Osteotomy of TKA is navigated by iAssist system, iAssist requires pin inserted in bone.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Alignment Accuracy of the Knee Femoral Components in Coronal Plain

    Ratio of subject, whose knee implant is positioned within 3 degrees from perpendicular to mechanical axis of lower extremity, is compared between groups by CT data taken at 6 month after surgery.

    Measured: Postoperative 6 months

  2. Number of Participants With Alignment Accuracy of the Knee Femoral Components in Sagittal Plain

    Ratio of subject, whose knee implant is positioned within 3 degrees from perpendicular to mechanical axis of lower extremity, is compared between groups by CT data taken at 6 month after surgery.

    Measured: Postoperative 6 months

  3. Number of Participants With Alignment Accuracy of the Knee Tibial Components in Coronal Plain

    Ratio of subject, whose knee implant is positioned within 3 degrees from perpendicular to mechanical axis of lower extremity, is compared between groups by CT data taken at 6 month after surgery.

    Measured: Postoperative 6 months

  4. Number of Participants With Alignment Accuracy of the Knee Tibial Components in Sagittal Plain

    Ratio of subject, whose knee implant is positioned within 3 degrees from preoperatively determined target angle, is compared between groups by CT data taken at 6 month after surgery.

    Measured: Postoperative 6 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Surgery Time

    Surgery time from skin incision to closure

    Measured: Intraoperative, an average of 2 hours

  2. Number of Instrument Trays Used

    Number of instrument trays used instraoperatively. This number includes number of Total Knee Arthroplasty specific instrument tray, does not include other general surgical instruments/kits.

    Measured: Intraoperative

  3. KSS - Objective Score at 6 Month Postoperatively

    KSS-Objective score is physician-derived component and allows for more than 100 points in patients with greater than 125° of flexion and a stable painless knee as outlined below. Lowest possible score is 0.

    Higher score means better outcomes.

    Measured: 6 month postoperative

  4. KSS-Patient Satisfaction at 6 Month Postoperatively

    KSS-Patient Satisfaction is patient-derived score and is a five-question 40-point scale that is collected preoperatively and at each follow-up visit. Lowest possible score is 0.

    Measured: 6 month postoperative

  5. KSS-function Score at 6 Month Postoperatively

    KSS-function score is patient-derived score and composed of four subgroups and has a maximum score of 100.

    "Walking and Standing" has a maximum value of 30 points, "Standard Activities" has a maximum of 30 points, "Advanced Activities" has a maximum of 25 points and "Discretionary Activities" has a maximum of 15 points.

    Lowest possible score is 0. Higher score means better outcomes.

    Measured: 6 month postoperative

  6. KSS-Patient Expectations at 6 Month Postoperatively

    KSS-Patient Expectations is patient-derived score and is a three-question fifteen-point scale that is collected pre-operatively and post-operatively. The pre-operative questions reflect the patient's opinion on the extent to which the patient expects that operation will improve knee pain, and ability to perform activities of daily living and recreational activities. The post-operative questions reflect the extent to which postoperative outcome has met the patient's pre-operative expectations with respect to pain and function.

    The score ranges from 3 to 15. Higher score means better outcomes.

    Measured: 6 month postoperative

  7. Oxford Knee Score at 6 Month Postoperatively

    Patient Reported Outcome specific for knee disease. Score range from 0 to 48. Higher score means better outcome.

    Measured: 6 month postoperative

  8. EQ-5D-3L at 6 Month Postoperatively

    EQ-5D is patient reported outcome measure to score patient's health related quality of life with minimum score of -0.111 and maximum score of 1.000.

    Higher score means better outcomes.

    Measured: 6 month postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Persona Knee System, Total Knee Arthroplasty and iAssist Knee in people with Osteoarthritis, Knee, run by Zimmer Biomet at 3 sites in Japan.

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 8 inclusion and 15 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 2 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Japan. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Mar 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Alignment Accuracy of the Knee Femoral Components in Coronal Plain (time frame: Postoperative 6 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Jul 2020.
