Trial summary

Prostheses use subsequently became prevalent and a number of studies were conducted. However, prosthesis-associated heterotropic ossification (HO) in the segments with prostheses was reported in 2005, which disrupted mobility and caused fusion. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Medium-Term Radiological And Clinical Follow-Up of Alpha-D Cervical Disk Prosthesis

Prostheses use subsequently became prevalent and a number of studies were conducted. However, prosthesis-associated heterotropic ossification (HO) in the segments with prostheses was reported in 2005, which disrupted mobility and caused fusion.

In the present study, we aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes, HO incidence, and prosthesis mobility in the patients following the operative use of Alpha-D disc prosthesis as developed and used by the authors to treat cervical disk diseases.

Being tested
Alpha-D CDP

What participants receive

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

  • Alpha-D CDPDevice

    Alpha-D cervical disc prosthesis was developed jointly by the Spine Center of Koç University Faculty of Medicine and Toledo University Bioengineering Department. It was designed as a single unit to ensure user-friendly administration for surgeons, and it was designed and manufactured to reproduce the movements of the normal cervical movement segment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Heterotropic ossification

    McAfee-Mehren classification

    Measured: Postoperative 18-78.months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. visual analog scale

    (0-10, 0=no pain, 10=extreme pain)

    Measured: 4 and 12 months after surgery

  2. neck disability index

    The questionnaire has 10 items concerning pain and activities of daily living including personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work status, driving, sleeping and recreation.

    Measured: 4 and 12 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cervical Disc Disease, run by Ataturk University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 5 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 2 Mar 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Heterotropic ossification (time frame: Postoperative 18-78.months). 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 NCT05262478, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Mar 2022.
