About this study

Official title: Anti-FLEX: Flexed Levering of Gluteal Vessels on OR Table May Lead to Extreme Danger During Gluteal Augmentation With Lipoaspirate, a Radio-graphically Studied Position of Superior and Inferior Gluteal Vessels During Flexion of OR Table or "Jack-knife" Position, Danger Zone.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the gluteal vasculature in the prone and jackknife positions.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective collection of contrast-enhanced CT images of healthy female volunteers in prone and jackknife positions in order to determine if position impacts gluteal venous vasculature.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean difference of position of the gluteal venous vasculature in relation to the skin

    Between the Prone position and the Jackknife position

    Measured: at CT scan visit

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mean difference of vessel diameter of the gluteal venous vasculature

    Between the Prone position and the Jackknife position

    Measured: at CT scan visit

  2. Mean difference of the danger zone

    Between the Prone position and the Jackknife position

    Measured: at CT scan visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy, run by University of South Florida 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 10 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 28 Feb 2020. 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?

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?

Mean difference of position of the gluteal venous vasculature in relation to the skin (time frame: at CT scan visit). 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 NCT03286231, which also lists 9 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Feb 2020.
