About this study

Official title: Comparative Study of Gene-activated Bone Substitute Based on Octacalcium Phosphate and Plasmid DNA Encoding VEGFA Gene Mixed With Autobone and Bone Autograft From Iliac Crest in Treatment of Long Bone Nonunions With Bone Loss: an Open-label Randomized Controlled Trial

The study is aimed to compare the effectiveness of "Histograft" bone substitute (gene-activated bone substitute based on octacalcium phosphate and plasmid DNA encoding VEGFA gene) mixed with shredded autobone and pure shredded auto bone harvested from iliac crest in treatment of patients with long bone nonunions

Read the detailed description

An open-label randomized controlled clinical trial, two cohorts. Patients who met the inclusion criteria are planned to be enrolled into the trial. Upon enrollment, all patients will undergo screening, a set of clinical examination, instrumental investigations and laboratory tests, including CT of the affected bone with the assessment of nonunion.

All patients enrolled in the study will be subjected to bone reconstructive surgery with nonunion excision and bone grafting with either investigational bone substitute mixed with shredded autobone (in a ratio of 50/50) harvested during the surgery or pure shredded autobone from iliac crest.

The clinical study results will be evaluated at the time points of 1, 15, 45, 90, 180 days with clinical examination, instrumental investigations and laboratory tests. Control CT will be carried out for the primary outcome measure at 90, 180, 360 days after surgery.

"Histograft", a bone substitute based on octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and plasmid DNA encoding VEGFA gene
Keywords

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Union Fracture and Non-Union of Ankle Joint Without Infection, run by Histograft Co., Ltd. at 1 site in Russia.

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 12 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 13 Jan 2021. 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 Russia. 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?

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?

Bone consolidation (time frame: 12 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 13 Jan 2021.
