About this study

Official title: Bone Regeneration in Mandibular Fractures After the Application of Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Randomized Clinical Trial.

Mandible fractures are a common cause of facial injury in adults. The autologous mesenchymal stem cell (AMSC) transplantation, is proposed as an alternative to the conventional graft treatment, improving bone neoformation.The objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of AMSCs application in mandibular fractures to reduce regeneration time and increase bone quality.

Read the detailed description

Single blinded controlled clinical trial in patients with mandibular angle fracture. The patients were divided into: Study Group (SG): fracture reduction plus application of AMSCs, Control Group (CG): Same procedure without AMSCs. AMSCs were obtained from adipose tissue , 24 hrs before the procedure. Intensity and density were evaluated in normal bone and fractured bone, at 4 and 12 weeks after surgery using panoramic radiography and computed tomography. (CT)

A total of 20 patients, 10 in each group were included. SG with a mean age of 31.2 ± 6.3 years and CG 29.7 ± 7.2 years, all patients were male. Bone quality at week 4 SG 108.82 ± 3.4 vs CG 93.92 ± 2.6 (p = 0.000) by panoramic radiography, SG 123 ± 4.53 vs CG 99.72 ± 5.72 (p = 0.000) by CT. At week 12: SG 153.53±1.83 vs CG 101.81±4.83 (p= 0.000) by panoramic radiography, SG 165.4 ± 4.2 vs CG 112.05±2.1 (p= 0.000) by CT.

The application of AMSCs presented at week 4 similar ossification values compared with normal bone and a 36.48 % higher ossification rate at week 12.

What participants receive

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

  • Application of autologous mesenchymal stem cellsBiological

    within the surgical procedure, mesenchymal stem cells, were applied on the fracture site. Imaging by X-ray and CT and imaging analysis was done after fracture repair, at week 4 and week 12

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of bone quality

    After the procedure, imaging control by X-ray and analysis by software, was done after surgery at weeks 4 and 12. X- ray units: Voxels. Software analysis by Image Processing and Analysis ImageJ 1.43

    Measured: from the moment of fracture diagnosis to week 4 and week 12 after surgery

  2. Change of bone quality

    After the procedure, imaging control by CT scan and analysis by software, was done after surgery at weeks 4 and 12. CT scan units: Hounsfiled . Software analysis by Image Processing and Analysis ImageJ 1.43

    Measured: from the moment of fracture diagnosis to week 4 and week 12 after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of patients with infection ( increase of local temperature, tenderness, leukocyte count >10,000/ µL, confirmed by Gram stain and blood culture).

    Infection suggested by clinical diagnosis increase of leukocyte levels, and confirmed by Gram stain and blood culture of local sample.

    Measured: from immediate postoperative period to three months after surgery

  2. Number of patients with bleeding after surgery (Persistent bleeding, ineffectiveness stopping bleeding using dressings)

    Persistent bleeding after surgery, that did not stop by dressings. If this complication developed, it had to be managed by surgical techniques.

    Measured: from immediate postoperative period to 1 week after surgery

  3. Number of patients with surgical wound dehiscence (subcutaneous tissue , bone or osteosynthesis material exposed and seen through opened skin )

    Clinical signs of dehiscence on the surgical incision, surgical material or bone seen though the skin. This diagnosis is done by clinical findings. Does not need any laboratory or image test.

    Measured: from immediate postoperative period to one month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Application of autologous mesenchymal stem cells in people with Mandibular Fractures, run by Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

Change of bone quality (time frame: from the moment of fracture diagnosis to week 4 and week 12 after surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Apr 2016.
