What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Secondary dislocation of fracture
Secondary dislocation is diagnosed on plain radiographs, if more than 20° varus collapse of the humeral head fragment in relation to the humeral shaft and / or screw penetration through the humeral head is detected
Measured: 12 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Functional outcome after fixation
Functional outcome after fixation will be recorded by the Dash-Score at week 12; assessment of safety: all adverse reactions will be recorded and analyzed.
Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing BMC2012 and beta-TCP Chronos® Synthes in people with Humerus Fracture Displaced Proximal, run by Goethe University at 1 site in Germany.
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 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jan 2020. 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 Germany. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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?
Secondary dislocation of fracture (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02803177, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 14 Jan 2020.
