Trial summary

This post-market clinical follow-up study was designed to compare hip replacement outcomes of the European Hip against 3 controls (Omniflex, Zweymuller, and Spotorno), however Omniflex did not end up being used. The first patient had surgery on February 18, 2000 and the final patient had surgery on September 2, 2005. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Multi-centre, Randomised, Parallel Group, Controlled Study to Compare the Performance of the Future Hip Against Three Currently Used Implants in Total Hip Replacement

This post-market clinical follow-up study was designed to compare hip replacement outcomes of the European Hip against 3 controls (Omniflex, Zweymuller, and Spotorno), however Omniflex did not end up being used. The first patient had surgery on February 18, 2000 and the final patient had surgery on September 2, 2005. There were 317 subjects consented but only 301 had hip replacement surgery (subjects received: 220 European hips, 33 Zweymuller, and 48 Spotorno). The study took place at three sites. Each site used their standard device as the control. The Austrian site enrolled 69 European hips and 33 Zweymuller hips. 92 European hips and 48 Spotorno hips were enrolled in Germany. Finally, the site in Italy enrolled 59 European hips. Although the study protocol intended collecting DEXA and RSA outcomes, the data collected by the sites did not include these outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. To Compare Survivorship estimates between subjects receiving the European, Spotorno, and Zweymuller hip devices through the 2 year follow-up period.

    Kaplan Meier survivorship analysis estimates the proportion of a population that will survive past a certain time avoiding a certain event. In this study, the event is removal of any component for any reason, also known as revision for any reason.

    Measured: 2yrs post-surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing European Hip, Zweymüller and CLS Spotorno in people with Osteoarthritis and Post-traumatic Arthritis, run by DePuy International at 3 sites in 3 countries.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Austria, Germany, Italy. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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: Slow recruitment, investigators not wishing to continue with randomisation and a decision to rationalise this product from the Sponsors portfolio.). 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?

To Compare Survivorship estimates between subjects receiving the European, Spotorno, and Zweymuller hip devices through the 2 year follow-up period. (time frame: 2yrs post-surgery). 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 7 Oct 2016.
