Trial summary

The different proportion samples of PLGA-Mg were made in this study. Then, they would be placed in the femoral condyle of the New Zealand rabbits. The appropriate proportion of PLGA-Mg is obtained after the experiment, which will be used to make the plate or screw to fix the fragments. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double Blind Trial of Study of PLGA-Mg Material in Clinical Orthopedics

The different proportion samples of PLGA-Mg were made in this study. Then, they would be placed in the femoral condyle of the New Zealand rabbits. The appropriate proportion of PLGA-Mg is obtained after the experiment, which will be used to make the plate or screw to fix the fragments. Then, the clinical role for bone will be assessed.

Read the detailed description

The deposition of calcium could be facilitated by the increase of magnesium, which played an important role in fracture union. However, its degradation may be completed before the fracture line was disappeared. In addition, the hydrogen may be released during degradation. Thus, its clinical popularization was limited.

As a new polymer material, poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) has been widely used clinically. The hydrolytic production of PLGA was acidic, which could neutralize the alkalinity of production degraded from magnesium. In addition, it was a long time before the total accomplishment of degradation of PLGA, which may postpone the degradation of magnesium.

The different proportion samples of PLGA-Mg were made in this study. Their physical and chemical properties were analyzed to estimate its safety of implantation. Then, they would be placed in the femoral condyle of the New Zealand rabbits. The osteogenesis and complication of samples are examined to select an appropriate proportion of PLGA-Mg is obtained. Then, the PLGA-Mg material will be used to fix the fracture of human as a fixation. The review of the patients will be conducted to assess its clinical role.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PLGA-Mg material and titanium alloy in people with Fracture Dislocation, run by Hebei Medical University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 23 Feb 2017. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yingze Zhang, M.D (+8613313012888, yzzhangdr@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

fracture union time (time frame: 4 months). 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 23 Feb 2017.
