About this study

The trial evaluates the clinical efficacy and safety of decalcification bone scaffold for cartilage lesions of the knee. Half of participants will receive decalcification bone scaffold combined with microfracture, while the other will only receive microfracture as a control group.

Read the detailed description

Decalcification bone scaffold is a tissue engineering scaffold with the closest biomechanics and structure of normal cartilage. The objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic decalcification bone scaffold combined with microfracture in the repairment of articular cartilage defects by randomized controlled trial. Sixty patients with clinically diagnosed knee cartilage injury according to 1: 1 were divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group will be treated with decalcification bone scaffold combined with microfracture .The control group will be treated with microfracture . The patients will be treated by the same surgeon in this study group. MRI evaluation, Lysholm score, IKDC score, Tegner score, VAS score are selected as the measures of outcome, while the blood routine, blood biochemistry, urine, CRP, ECG and other laboratory tests will be recorded inclduing the incidence of adverse events.

What participants receive

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

  • decalcification bone scaffoldProcedure or surgery

    Decalcification bone scaffold is a tissue engineering acellular matrix scaffold with the closest biomechanics and structure of normal cartilage.

  • microfractureProcedure or surgery

    Microfracture is the surgical option for conventional treatment of cartilage defects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Appraise of magnetic reasonance imaging

    Evaluate the articular cartilage postoperatively by MRI.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Lysholm score

    The Lysholm score consists of eight items including limping, locking, pain, stair climbing, use of supports, instability, swelling, and squatting. The higher values represent a better outcome.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) 2000

    International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) 2000. The higher values represent a better outcome.

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Tegner activity level score

    The highest level of activity that you participated in before your injury and the highest level you are able to participate in currently. The higher values represent a better outcome.

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Visual analogue scale

    The visual analogue scale or visual analog scale (VAS) is a psychometric response scale which can be used in questionnaires. It is a measurement instrument for subjective characteristics or attitudes that cannot be directly measured. When responding to a VAS item, respondents specify their level of agreement to a statement by indicating a position along a continuous line between two end-points. From 0 to 10, no pain 0, worst pain imaginable 10. The higher values represent a worse outcome.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing decalcification bone scaffold and microfracture in people with Cartilage Injury, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 13 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 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 1 site in China. 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?

Contact Xiaoqing Hu, phd (+8613401096777, aoyingfang@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Appraise of magnetic reasonance imaging (time frame: 5 years). 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.
