About this study

Official title: Post-market Clinical Follow-Up Study to Collect Safety, Performance and Clinical Benefits Data of the JuggerKnot Mini Soft Anchor for Use in the Maxillofacial Treatment of Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)

The objective of this retrospective consecutive series PMCF study is to collect data confirming safety, performance and clinical benefits of the JuggerKnot Mini Soft Anchor (implant and instrumentation) when used for soft tissue to bone fixation in the treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery. Safety, performance, and clinical benefits will be evaluated at the following time points: pre op, 6 weeks, 3 months and 1-year follow-up. JuggerKnot Mini has been on the market since November of 2011.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective is to confirm safety of the study products. This will be assessed by recording the incidence and frequency of revisions, complications, and adverse events. Relationship of the events to either implant or instrumentation should be specified.

The secondary objective is the assessment of performance and clinical benefits by analyzing recorded patient-reported clinical outcomes measures (PROMs).

What is being measured

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

  1. Device Safety Assessed Through the Incidence and Frequency of Revisions, Complications, and Adverse Events

    Assessment of safety by recording and analyzing the incidence and frequency of revisions, complications, and adverse events.

    Measured: Out to a minimum of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Device performance and Clinical Benefits Assessed by a Pain Assessment. and Temporomandibular Joint Function of the Pain Assessment Survey Case Report Form.

    Pain Assessment is used to evaluate a patients pain from 0 to 10, 0 representing no pain at all and 10 representing the worse pain imaginable.

    Measured: Out to a minimum of 1 year

  2. Device performance and Clinical Benefits Assessed by a TMJ Function Pain Assessment Survey Case Report Form

    The TMJ Function portion of the Pain Assessment Survey is assessed by if the patient experiences Temporomandibular Joint Clicking or Popping Noise. The Joint Clicking or Popping noise is evaluated as a Yes the joint click when opening and closing the mouth, or No the joint does not click when opening and closing the mouth on either the left or right side.

    Measured: Out to a minimum of 1 year

  3. Device performance and Clinical Benefits Assessed by a Headache Pain Assessment Survey Case Report Form

    The Headache portion of the Pain Assessment Survey is evaluated as, Yes the patient has headaches, or No the patient does not have headaches. If they check yes the survey asks on which side of the headache occurs and in which location. Location options are: Front, Posterior, Temporal or Top of the head.

    Measured: Out to a minimum of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of TMJ Disc Disorder and TMJ Pain, run by Zimmer Biomet.

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 2 inclusion and 8 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Device Safety Assessed Through the Incidence and Frequency of Revisions, Complications, and Adverse Events (time frame: Out to a minimum of 1 year). 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 27 Jan 2022.
