Show all 18Show fewer

  • The patient has an active or latent infection in or about the affected hip joint or an infection distant from the hip joint that may spread to the hip hematogenously.
  • The patient has insufficient bone stock to fix the component. Insufficient bone stock exists in the presence of metabolic bone disease (i.e. osteoporosis), cancer, and radiation. Note: Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) may be used to assess the presence of adequate bone stock.
  • The patient has osteoradionecrosis in the operative hip joint

About this study

Official title: Allofit® IT Ceramic Bearing System in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Multi-center, Prospective, Non-controlled Post Market Surveillance Study

This is a multi-center, prospective, non-controlled post market surveillance study. The objectives of this study are to obtain survival and outcome data on the Allofit IT Shell in combination with the BIOLOX® delta Taper Liner when used in primary total hip arthroplasty.

Read the detailed description

The objectives of this study are to obtain survival and outcome data on the Allofit IT Shell in combination with the BIOLOX® delta Taper Liner when used in primary total hip arthroplasty.

This will be done by analysis of standard scoring systems, radiographs and adverse event records. Data will be used to monitor pain, mobility and survivorship, and to confirm the safety and performance of the Allofit IT Ceramic Bearing System.

A total of 200 patients are planned to be enrolled in this study which will last 12 years (2 year enrollment plus 10 years follow-up) with the follow-up visits at 6 months, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 10 years post-operatively.

What is being measured

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

  1. Survivorship

    The objective of this study is implant survival at 10 years which is assessed by revision of the the study device calculated using the Kaplan-Meier Survival Estimation. The survivorship with Kaplan-Meier (K-M) was calculated at 10 year for endpoint revision of any component.

    Measured: 10 years post-surgery

  2. Safety of the Implant

    Will be evaluated by monitoring the frequency and incidence of adverse events (AE), serious adverse events (SAE), adverse device effects (ADE) and serious adverse device effects (SADE) b) Efficacy:

    Measured: Up to 10 years postoperative

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Harris Hip Score

    The Harris Hip Score (HHS) is an outcome measure that includes a series of questions answered by the patient and physical examinations recorded by a qualified health care professional. The HHS covers four domains: pain (one item, 0-44 points), function and functional activities (seven items, 0-47 points), absence of deformity (one item, 0-4 points) and range of motion (one item, 0-5 points). To obtain a final score, the points are summed. The outcome score can be categorized as Excellent: 90-100; Good: 80-90; Fair: 70-80; Poor: < 70

    Measured: pre-op, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Year, 3 Year, 5 Year, 7 Year, 10 Year

  2. EQ-5D

    The EQ-5D-3L is a standardized instrument widely used to measure health status. It is a self-reported assessment about the patient's quality of life. The questionnaire includes five dimensions referring to mobility, self-care, daily activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each question can be answered in three ways/levels indicating no problems, some problems, and extreme problems. In the derived EQ-5D-3L score, the highest score is 1 and the lowest score is -0.594; negative numbers correspond to a self-assessed health state worse than being dead.

    Measured: pre-op, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Year, 3 Year, 5 Year, 7 Year, 10 Year

  3. SF-12 Physical and Mental Functional Scores

    The SF-12 is a multipurpose short-form (SF) generic measure of health status. It consists of twelve questions that measure eight health domains to assess physical and mental health. Physical health-related domains include General Health (GH), Physical Functioning (PF), Role Physical (RP), and Body Pain (BP). Mental health-related scales include Vitality (VT), Social Functioning (SF), Role Emotional (RE), and Mental Health (MH). Scores ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better physical and mental health functioning and lower scores indicating worse physical and mental health functioning.

    Measured: pre-op, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Year, 3 Year, 5 Year, 7 Year, 10 Year

  4. UCLA Activity Score

    The case administered University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) score allows assessment of the case's activity level at each time point with scores from 1 (Wholly inactive: dependent on others; cannot leave residence) to 10 (Regularly participates in impact sports)

    Measured: pre-op, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Year, 3 Year, 5 Year, 7 Year, 10 Year

  5. Radiographic Evaluations

    Radiographic evaluation was done to assess (radiolucency, osteolysis, subsidence, cup migration, change in cup angle and change in femoral shaft angle) of study subjects who received the Allofit IT Acetabular System

    Measured: 10 Years post-surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Avascular Necrosis of Hip and Osteoarthritis, Hip, run by Zimmer Biomet at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 12 Feb 2025). 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?

Survivorship (time frame: 10 years post-surgery). The study lists 2 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 12 Feb 2025.
