Study population: Rotator Cuff tear subjects scheduled for arthroscopy.

Number of subjects: Up to 70 subject for data analysis.

Number of sites: At least 4 sites in Israel.

Main Inclusion criteria: Informed consent, diagnosed with Rotator Cuff tear.

Main Exclusion criteria: Former surgery on affected shoulder, sever illness, significant shoulder co morbidities.

Follow up period: 12 months. Visits at hospital before discharge at 1-2 days post implantation, 7-10 days post implantation, 3 weeks post implantation, 6 weeks post implantation, 3,6 and 12 months post implantation.

Primary goal: To assess the safety of the SpaceGuard in Rotator Cuff tear subjects.

Secondary goals: To assess the effectiveness of the SpaceGuard in the study population. The effectiveness will be assessed by terms of good positioning of the SpaceGuard and subsequent follow-up non migration, surgeon satisfaction, pain relief and time to pain relief, Range of Motion (ROM) and time to ROM with the SpaceGuard.

Primary end point: Serious Adverse Event rate related to the device and/or system complication.

Secondary end points: Surgeon dissatisfaction following the deployment of SpaceGuard, migration of the balloon shown by ultrasound/ X-ray/MRI at relevant follow-up visits, lost of ROM and pain enhancement.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SpaceGuard Balloon in people with Rotator Cuff Tear, run by OrthoSpace Ltd. at 1 site in Israel.

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 19 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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?

The study's primary goal is to assess the safety of the SpaceGuard and implantation procedure, in the study population. Safety of the SpaceGuard will be assessed by reporting system related adverse events. (time frame: 12-36 months follow-up). 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 11 Mar 2015.
