About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Post Market, Clinical Follow-Up Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of TRIGEN™ INTERTAN™ Intertrochanteric Antegrade Nails (10S Models) for the Treatment of Femoral Fracture in Chinese Subjects

This is a post-market study to evaluate the revision rate of femoral fractures, treated with INTERTAN 10S Nails at one-year post-operation. The study will enroll Approximately 180 subjects with femoral fractures, Approximately 7 sites are involved. The study duration will be Approximately 36 months (6 months start-up, 1 year enrollment, 1 year follow-up, 6 months closeout/study report).

Read the detailed description

Background:

The INTERTAN nail was designed to improve upon existing intramedullary nail systems. INTERTAN nails utilize two interlocking screws, thereby improving controlled intertochanteric fracture compression and post-surgical stability.

Purpose:

Evaluate the revision rate of femoral fractures, treated with INTERTAN 10S Nails at one-year post-operation

Objectives:

  • Primary Objective: To evaluate the revision rate for any reason of femoral fractures, treated with INTERTAN 10S Nails at one year post-operation
  • Secondary Objective: To generate safety and effectiveness evidence for INTERTAN 10S Nails via the collection of functional outcomes, quality of life, and safety data

Research participants / locations:

The study will enroll Approximately 180 subjects with femoral fractures, Approximately 7 sites in China are involved.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Revision Rate

    To evaluate the revision rate for any reason of femoral fractures, treated with INTERTAN 10S Nails at one year post-operation.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Intraoperative Complications

    Documentation of any complications related to the implantation of the device. Potential complications of this type of surgery include, but are not limited to, those listed below.

    • Loosening, bending, cracking or fracture of the implant components
    • Limb shortening or loss of anatomical position, accompanied with bone nonunion or with rotation or angulated malunion
    • Infections, both deep and superficial
    • Irritational injury of soft tissues, including impingement syndrome
    • Supracondylar fractures from retrograde nailing
    • Macrophage and foreign body reactions adjacent to implants

    Measured: Intraoperative

  2. Radiographic Assessment

    Full-length standing radiographs, standard anteroposterior (AP), and lateral radiographs of lower extremities taken prior to surgery and at all follow-up time points to identify the presence of bone healing result, normal fracture healing and disturbed fracture healing.

    Measured: Pre-operative, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, & 1 year

  3. Time to Union

    To evaluate the bone healing during each visit by achieving radiographic union.

    Measured: Through study completion, approximately 1 year

  4. Harris Hip Score (HHS)

    The Harris Hip Score is a joint specific score that consists of 10 items covering domains of pain (1 item, 0-44 points), function (7 items, 0-47 points), functional activities, absence of deformity (1 item, 0 or 4 points), and hip range of motion (2 items, 0-5 points). Scores range from 0 (worst) to 100 (best).

    Measured: 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, & 1 year

  5. EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L)

    The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized instrument for use as a measurement of health outcome. It consists of a descriptive system with 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression), which are each assigned five levels (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems), as well as, a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) where subjects indicate a numerical value from 1-100 where 0 is the worst imaginable health state and 100 is the best imaginable health state.

    The respondent is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking (or placing a cross) in the box against the most appropriate statement in each of the dimensions. This decision results in a 1- digit number expressing the level selected for that dimension. The digits for 5 dimensions can be combined in a 5-digit number describing the respondent's health state.

    Measured: Pre-operative, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, & 1 year

  6. Time to Return to Full Weight-Bearing

    To evaluate the bone healing during each visit by achieving return to full weight-bearing.

    Measured: Post-operatively through study completion, approximately 12 months

  7. Length of Stay

    Length of stay in days participant spends in hospital.

    Measured: During hospitalization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Femoral Fractures and Hip Fractures, run by Smith & Nephew Medical (Shanghai) Ltd at 7 sites 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 4 inclusion and 16 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

The Revision Rate (time frame: 1 year). 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 7 Feb 2024.
