About this study

Official title: Phase II Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of NerVFIX Treatment for Trauma or Accidental Nerve Section of the Wrist

The purpose of this open, multicenter trial is to assess the impact of a nerve regeneration conduit made of allogeneic artery or vein from umbilical cord lining on the regeneration of wrist nerve.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

Receives: Biological: NerVFIX

What is being measured

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

  1. Recovery of sensory function

    Recovery of sensitivity in the nerve section area evaluated using the static 2-Point Discrimination (s2PD)

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Progressive recovery of sensory function

    Improvement in the s2PD

    Measured: 15 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  2. Decrease of the score of symptoms related to nerve section

    Score of cold sensitivity, hyperaesthesia and numbing (0 = no complication, 4 = major complication) and score of pain to the pressure (0 = no pain, 10 = worst imaginable pain)

    Measured: 15 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  3. Improvement of the touch-pressure threshold of the hand

    Touch-pressure of the hand in grammes determined using Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament (SWM) tests

    Measured: 15 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  4. Percentage of nerve regeneration

    Nerve regeneration after surgical repair evaluated by Hoffman-Tinel sign

    Measured: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  5. Improvement of health-related quality of life

    Quality of life related to nerve section of the hand evaluated using Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) questionnaire (0 = no disability, 100 = most severe disability)

    Measured: 15 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  6. Improvement of clinical motricity

    Improvement of thumb opposition in case of median nerve section or of Froment's sign, abduction and adduction of the fingers and movement of the 4th and 5th digit in case of ulnar nerve section

    Measured: 15 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing NerVFIX in people with Nerve Injury and Nerve Lesion, run by TBF Genie Tissulaire at 2 sites in France.

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 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Low accrual rate). 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?

Recovery of sensory function (time frame: 12 months). 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 14 Nov 2024.
