Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Must be diagnosed with degenerative osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, inflammatory arthritis (ie: rheumatoid arthritis) or other conditions of the hindfoot requiring subtalar arthrodesis.
  • Patients must be able to attend follow-up examinations for the duration of the trial.
  • The patient is at least 18 years of age and skeletally mature, or less than 80 years of age at the time of surgery.
  • Is willing and able to comply with the clinical trial plan and able to understand and sign the Patient Informed Consent Form.

Who cannot join

  • Younger than 18 years old or older than 80 years old.
  • Has a condition that prevents ambulation or completion of any of the trial measurements.
  • Requires fusion of additional hindfoot or ankle joints simultaneously (i.e. a pantalar, tibiotalocalcaneal or triple arthrodesis). Concomitant midfoot or forefoot procedures, such as osteotomies, tendon or metatarsal procedures are not exclusionary.
  • Has treatment planned for the arthrodesis which does not require the use of screws.
  • Has any active infection of the hindfoot, a systemic infection or bacteremia.
  • Has received any treatment within the past 12 months which may interfere with bone metabolism [bisphosphonates (Fosamax, Actonel, Boniva, Reclast) and calcitonin (Miacalcin)].
  • Is scheduled to have any surgical procedure on the contralateral foot within 6 weeks before or after the study procedure.

About this study

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the outcome of implanting AlloStem® graft with appropriate rigid internal fixation hardware as an alternative to autograft bone graft with rigid fixation in subtalar arthrodesis procedures. The primary objective of this clinical trial is to compare the overall fusion rate of the investigational to the control treatment. Fusion will be determined by clinical findings, radiographs and computed tomography (CT) of the subtalar joint 24 weeks (6 months) after the trial surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Subtalar Arthrodesis in people with Degenerative Osteoarthritis and Post-traumatic; Arthrosis, run by AlloSource at 5 sites in United States.

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 7 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 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States. 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?

Fusion Rate (%)(as determined by CT assessment) (time frame: 6 months post-op). 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 13 Apr 2018.
