About this study

Official title: Safe and Easy Application of BioComp Implants for Prosthetic Reconstruction of Craniofacial Defects

At the department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Maastricht University Medical Center (MUMC) the routine procedure after ablation of the nose, ear or eye is reconstruction with an episthesis. Retention can be achieved using adhesives, undercuts or bone implants. Implant based episthesis are now commonly used because of the good retention and episthesis stability. This results in a better patient quality of life.

Today we use machined surface implants in the craniofacial region of different brands. Each system has its own instruments and application method. To enhance the clinical usability, we are searching for one system for all extra-oral implant regions.

Furthermore, implant patients may be compromised by aging, diseases, smoking, medication and radiation therapy, which can affect the bone healing process. In these cases, implants are known to have higher failure rates compared to the application in healthy cases. Therefore implants with biomechanical surface modifications, such as the HAVD implants of BioComp, may have a positive effect on osseointegration, resulting in higher success rates in the compromised patient.

The aim of this pilot study is to collect information about the functionality and safety of a surface treated implant system (HAVD, BioComp) for episthetic reconstruction after ablative surgery in the nasal, orbital and auricular region for a potential future RCT.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in implant stability as measured by the Osstell implant stability meter at one year

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. redness/irritation of the skin

    Measured: baseline

  2. redness/irritation of the skin

    Measured: 12 weeks after implant placement

  3. redness/irritation of the skin

    Measured: 26 weeks after implant placement

  4. redness/irritation of the skin

    Measured: 52 weeks after implant placement

  5. Implant survival

    Measured: 52 weeks after implant placement

  6. Clinical ease of use

    Opinion of the surgeon about the easiness of use of the implant system, scored by a questionnaire.

    Measured: Directly after implant placement (0)

  7. Patient satisfaction as measured by a VAS scoring system

    Patient satisfaction scored by a self made questionnaire

    Measured: 26 weeks after implant placement

  8. Patient satisfaction as measured by a VAS scoring system

    Patient satisfaction scored by a self made questionnaire

    Measured: 52 weeks after implant placement

  9. Quality of life a measured by a VAS scoring system

    Quality of life scored by a self made questionnaire

    Measured: 52 weeks after implant placement

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HAVD-implant in people with Prostheses and Implants and Craniofacial Defects, run by Maastricht University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 8 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 27 Nov 2018. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Veronique CM Timmer, Msc (+31433872010, v.timmer@mumc.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in implant stability as measured by the Osstell implant stability meter at one year (time frame: one year). 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 27 Nov 2018.
