About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Study Comparing the Taperloc Complete Versus the Taperloc Complete Microplasty.

This is a single center, prospective, randomized controlled study. The primary objective of this study is to measure migration over two years with RSA. Patients will be randomized in two arms, receiving a Taperloc Complete Reduced Distal or a Taperloc Complete Microplasty hip stem.

Read the detailed description

A total of 50 patients will be enrolled into the study, randomized 1:1. All patients will receive a G7 limited hole acetabular cup with E1 liner.

All potential study subjects will be required to participate in the Informed Consent process.

What is being measured

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

  1. Stability Over a Period of Two Year Measured by Migration With Röntgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis (RSA)

    Migration and rotation in three directions represented by Maximum Total Point Motion (MTMP)

    Measured: 2 years postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Difference in Surgical Positioning Between Taperloc Complete Reduced Distal and Taperloc Complete Microplasty

    Assessed by difference in the prevalence of stem malalignment, incorrect sizing and subsidence based on radiographic evaluation.

    Measured: 2 years postoperatively

  2. Early Survival Assessed by Counting the Number of Implant Revisions

    Assessed by counting the number of implant revisions

    Measured: Immediate post-operatively, 6 weeks, 1 year and 2 years postoperatively

  3. Clinical Performance Measured by Clinician Based Outcome Sore Harris Hip Score (HHS)

    Harris Hip Score (HHS), a score to measure health and satisfaction after a hip prosthesis.

    The score has a maximum of 100 points (best possible outcome) covering pain (1 item, 0-44 points), function (7 items, 0-47 points), absence of deformity (1 item, 4 points), and range of motion (2 items, 5 points)

    Measured: pre-operatively (within 3 months of surgery), 6 weeks, 1 year and 2 years postoperatively

  4. Clinical Performance Measured by Clinician Based Outcome Radiological Evaluation

    Assess radiographs for signs of stress shielding, radiolucency and stem alignment.

    Measured: 6 weeks, 1 year and 2 years postoperatively

  5. Clinical Performance Measured by Patient Based Outcome Using Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)

    The outcomes of the subcategories are scored on a 0 to 100 scale, with 100 indicating no symptoms.

    Measured: 2 years postoperatively

  6. Clinical Performance Measured by Patient Based Outcome EQ5D

    Each question in the EQ5D assessment can be answered in three ways, indicating no, moderate or extreme problems. Index scores are created with a weight for each dimension, ranging from 0 (health state equivalent to death) to 1 (perfect health). The EQ5D also includes a question about health status, ranging from 0 (worst health) to 100 (best health).

    Measured: 2 years postoperatively

  7. Clinical Performance Measured by Patient Based Outcome Using Oxford Hip Score (OHS)

    The OHS assesses pain (6 items) and function (6 items) of the hip in relation to daily activities such as walking, dressing, sleeping, etc. The scoring is the following: 0-4 (worst to best) with overall scores ranging from 0-48 where 48 represents the best score.

    Measured: pre-operatively(within 3 months of surgery), 6 weeks, 1 year and 2 years postoperatively

  8. Clinical Performance Measured by Patient Based Outcome Forgotten Joint Score (FJS)

    The Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) is a questionnaire, which focuses on the awareness of having a joint prosthesis.

    The rationale of this questionnaire is that the ultimate goal in joint arthroplasty resulting in the greatest possible patient satisfaction is the ability to forget the artificial joint. The outcome is scored on a 0 to 100 scale, with a total score of 0 indicating the highest level of awareness of having a joint prosthesis.

    Measured: 6 weeks, 1 year and 2 years postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Taperloc Complete Microplasty stem and Taperloc Complete Reduced Distal stem in people with Hip Osteoarthritis and Noninflammatory Degenerative Joint Disease, run by Zimmer Biomet at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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 14 Jul 2022. 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 Netherlands. 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 14 Jul 2022). 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?

Stability Over a Period of Two Year Measured by Migration With Röntgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis (RSA) (time frame: 2 years postoperatively). 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 NCT03409666, 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 14 Jul 2022.
