About this study

Official title: A Novel Alloplastic Patient Specific Temporalis Tendon Enthesis for Mandibular Resection with Coronoidectomy

Mandibular reconstruction of segmental defects is an arduous surgical procedure that requires an utmost degree of surgical fidelity. Whether primary bone reconstruction is feasible or not, alloplastic bridging between the remaining bone stumps is mandatory to achieve functional, aesthetic, and symmetrical demands of the lower third of the face. Mandibular reconstructive surgery should be directed toward the maintains of the normal orthognathic centric condylar position, mandibular kinematics, and muscles of mastication function. Mandibular resection with coronoid removal cause imbalance in the attachment of one of the large muscles of mastication, the temporalis muscle. The use of computer-aided surgery allowed the creation of custom made fixation plates with a plethora of advantages over the conventional plates.

the study aims to introduce a novel plate design, which creates an enthsis for the reattachment of the temporalis muscle tendon.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mandibular Kinematics assessment

    range of mandibular excursions were recorded preoperatively (T0) and at 1-postopertive week (T1), 1-postoperative month (T2), 4-postoperative month (T3), 6- postoperative month (T4).

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Postoperative temporalis muscle activity

    surface-Electromyogram (sEMG) was used by the patients during their maximum voluntary clenching by placement of two channels on the bilateral temporalis muscles

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Patient specific reconstruction plate for patients suffering from mandibular segmental defects in people with Mandibular Resection, run by Alexandria University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 13 Jan 2025. 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 Egypt. 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 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?

Mandibular Kinematics assessment (time frame: 6 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 NCT06770868, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Jan 2025.
