About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of Biomet Microfixation Devices Used in Facial & Mandibular Surgical Procedures. Facial Plating System, HTR PEKK (Midface) and Mandibular Plates: A Post Market Clinical Follow-up Study

This study will address medical devices manufactured by Biomet Microfixation (d.b.a. Zimmer Biomet) designed for fixation and stabilization of the facial and mandibular skeleton.

Read the detailed description

The subject devices are:

  • plates, screws, and primary instruments from the Biomet Microfixation Facial Plating System, including plates to be specifically used in orthognathic procedures
  • plates, screws and primary instruments for the Mandibular Plating System, including and a device intended to temporarily restore the functionality of the temporomandibular joint for patients whose natural condyle has to be resected, subsequent to a tumor ablation ("Add-On Condyle") Additionally, a third device intended for the replacement of bony voids in the facial skeleton will be evaluated in this trial (HTR-PEKK- facial application).
Being tested
Titanium Facial Plates, Titanium Mandibular Plates, Add-on Condyle, HTR-PEKK
Keywords
facial plates, mandibular reconstruction, facial reconstruction, condylar tumor, orofacial cleft
Medical subject headings
Neoplasms, Mandibular Fractures, Fibrous Dysplasia of Bone, Neuroma, Goldenhar Syndrome, Mandibulofacial Dysostosis, Genee-Wiedemann syndrome, Acrofacial dysostosis, Nager type

What participants receive

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

  • Titanium Facial PlatesDevice

    Also called Titanium facial mini plates

    The Facial Plating System provides a comprehensive titanium fixation solution for maxillofacial surgery procedures. More than twenty-five different plating options in two systems, the 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm with a variety of instruments, and high torque screws, including meshes, are part of this system. Plates and screws are made of commercially pure titanium per ASTM F-67, Titanium 6Al 4V Alloy per ASTM F-136.

  • Titanium Mandibular PlatesDevice

    Also called Titanium mandibular mini plates

    The Mandibular Plating System provides a comprehensive titanium fixation solution for mandibular surgical procedures. Several plating options, a variety of instruments, and high torque screws with various plate shapes are part of this system.

    Plates in the Mandibular Plating System have profiles of various thicknesses. Screws are available in self-tapping, locking and non-locking varieties, and in various sizes between 2.0 mm and 2.3 mm in diameter, and 5 mm to 18 mm in length.

  • Add-on CondyleDevice

    The Add-On Condyle is intended to be implanted in the human jaw to replace the mandibular condyle to functionally reconstruct the temporomandibular joint on a temporary basis for patients undergoing ablative tumor surgery requiring the removal of the native mandibular condyle. This device is not for permanent implantation, traumatic injuries, or for treatment of temporomandibular joint disease.

  • HTR-PEKKDevice

    The HTR-PEKK implants are fabricated from polyether-ketone-ketone (PEKK) via selective laser sintering (SLS), a 3D manufacturing technique. The laser sintering machine builds the implant in layers as dictated from a stereolithographic (STL) file of the approved implant. The HTR-PEKK implants are designed individually for each patient to replace bony voids in the facial anatomy using a patient's own CT imaging data. The implant is made to fill an existing or planned void (where appropriate) using computer-aided design technology for anatomy enhancement, correction of trauma injuries, and/or to correct congenital defects in the craniofacial bone.

What is being measured

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

  1. Survival of implant at 1 year post operative

    Frequency and incidence of clinical and radiological adverse events related to the implantation of the subject device leading to removal

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Infection rate at 30 days post operative

    Implant site infection rate

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Allergic reaction related to implant material

    Clinical and/or pathological assessment of implant allergic reactions leading to removal of the device in the first 2 years post implantation

    Measured: up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Tumor and Facial Fracture, run by Zimmer Biomet at 1 site in Argentina.

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 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jan 2024. 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 Argentina. 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 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?

Survival of implant at 1 year post operative (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 29 Jan 2024.
