What participants receive

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

  • DTSDevice

    Also called Digital Tomosynthesis (DTS)

    Subjects undergo wrist imaging using DTS.

  • X-rayDevice

    Also called X-ray imaging

    Subjects undergo wrist imaging using standard X-ray imaging.

  • MRI or CTDevice

    Also called Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Computed Tomography (CT)

    Subjects may undergo wrist imaging using MRI or CT.

Study groups in NCT03856450
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control-arm groupActive comparatorThe control-arm group will consist of healthy volunteers with no known prior trauma in the wrists. The diagnostic truth for subjects in the control-arm will be no fracture and the treatment truth will be no treatment.
Receives: Device: DTS; Device: X-ray
Test-arm groupExperimentalThe test-arm group will consist of subjects who present with a wrist injury and initial SOC X-ray imaging results show a confirmed or suspected distal radius or scaphoid fracture, for which additional diagnostic imaging shall be ordered. Diagnostic truth for subjects in the test-arm will be the per-subject clinical diagnosis and the treatment truth will be the per-subject treatment received.
Receives: Device: DTS; Device: X-ray; Device: MRI or CT

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Number of CT (or MRI) images

    collection of image sets from CT (or MRI) imaging exams for each complete and evaluable subject case

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Questionnaire about Diagnosis

    collection of subject diagnosis (positive, negative, or inconclusive) for each complete and evaluable subject case

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Questionnaire about Treatment

    collection of treatment information (no treatment necessary, non-operative, operative) for each complete and evaluable subject case

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing DTS, X-ray and MRI or CT in people with Distal Radius Fracture and Scaphoid Fracture, run by GE Healthcare at 1 site 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 12 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Mary Dooley ((215)-294-9650, Mary.Dooley@uphs.upenn.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of X-ray Images (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 3 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 30 Sep 2020.
