About this study

Patients undergoing rotator cuff repair surgery will experience improved tendon healing with the use of demineralized bone matrix augmentation.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective randomized study comparing the outcomes of patient undergoing rotator cuff repair with either an interpositional procedure administering demineralized bone matrix (DBM), or a control group without demineralized bone matrix. Patient outcomes will be collected and compared between the two cohorts up to a five (5) year post-operative period and will include a range of subjective and functional outcomes, along with radiographic imaging.

What is being measured

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

  1. MRI

    Rate of healing of the rotator cuff repair

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Score (ASES score)

    Changes in patient self evaluation and physician assessment score

    Measured: pretreatment, 24 weeks, 1 year, 2 year and 5 year

  2. Veterans RAND Health (VR-12)

    Changes in patient reported general health and mental survey. Average score is 50 (negative answers bring scores down, positive answers bring score up)

    Measured: pretreatment, 24 weeks, 1 year, 2 year and 5 year

  3. Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation (SANE)

    Changes in patient reported affected shoulder survey base on percentage (0 - 100%, 100% being normal)

    Measured: pretreatment, 24 weeks, 1 year, 2 year and 5 year

  4. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    Changes in patient reported pain survey. 0 - 10 point scale (0 no pain, 10 worst possible pain)

    Measured: pretreatment, 24 weeks, 1 year, 2 year and 5 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Demineralized bone matrix in people with Rotator Cuff Injuries, run by Arthrex, Inc. 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 11 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 Aug 2021. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

MRI (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 Aug 2021.
