Trial summary

The benefits of this new material, as demonstrated in animal studies and preliminary studies in man, could provide the answer to problems encountered by surgeons in the field of phonatory implants. This novel application is a step towards resolving the very real problems which still exist in the field today. Read more about this study

About this study

The benefits of this new material, as demonstrated in animal studies and preliminary studies in man, could provide the answer to problems encountered by surgeons in the field of phonatory implants. This novel application is a step towards resolving the very real problems which still exist in the field today. The functional concept, which will allow better control over integrating implants in tissue, should also, it is hoped, favour cellular colonization, thereby fulfilling a currently unmet medical need. The aim is to avoid well-identified potential complications linked to the use of silicone-only implants (with or without a surface coating), like leakage around the prosthesis (by cellular colonization), and so reduce the risk of protrusion/extrusion of the prosthesis as far as possible, and to avoid trauma to the peri-prosthetic tissues by repeated interventions

What participants receive

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

  • prothesis voiceDevice

    The device may be used for patient using another type of voice prosthesis, of for patient undergoing total laryngectomy. This device is definitively placed in two parts:The first one is introduced in the puncture (TEP) through the esophagus (retrograde way). The second part is then clipped on the first one through the tracheotomy orifice (anterograde way).A third part containing the valve can then be clipped in the prosthesis and easily removed in order to change it as often as necessary.

  • total laryngectomyProcedure or surgery

    The second part is then clipped on the first one through the tracheotomy orifice (anterograde way).A third part containing the valve can then be clipped in the prosthesis and easily removed in order to change it as often as necessary.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing prothesis voice and total laryngectomy in people with Pharyngeal Neoplasms and Laryngeal Neoplasms, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 1 site 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 Jul 2012. 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 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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?

Contact Christian DEBRY, MD (33.3.88.12.76.44, christian.debry@chru-strasbourg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical measures concerning peri and intra prosthetic leakage (time frame: days 8,15,21,30 - months : 2 ,4,6,8, 10, 12, 15,18,21,24,30, 36). 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 Jul 2012.
