Trial summary

Rationale: Patients with osteoarthrtis (OA) of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint are commonly treated with joint arthroplasty. The CapFlex PIP implant is a modular surface replacing implant, which has good short-term functional results with a relatively low complication rate. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Migration of the CapFlex-PIP Implant System for Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Arthroplasty: a 10 Year Follow up RSA Study

Rationale: Patients with osteoarthrtis (OA) of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint are commonly treated with joint arthroplasty. The CapFlex PIP implant is a modular surface replacing implant, which has good short-term functional results with a relatively low complication rate. To reduce implant failure and to increase long-term survival, it is important to expand knowledge about fixation and loosening patterns. By using model-based roentgen stereogrammaetric analysis (mRSA), the migration pattern of the implant over time can be calculated.

Objective: The primary objective is to assess the fixation and migration patterns of the CapFlex PIP implant system (produced and developed by several companies of KLS Martin Group) in vivo, using mRSA, over 10 years. Secondary objectives are to analyse survival, clinical scores and radiographic aspects of the CapFlex PIP implant system.

Study design: A prospective cohort study with 10 years follow-up, in which 36 patients will be enrolled. Patients will be evaluated preoperatively, at 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years 5 years and 10 years.

Study population: Patients 18 years or older who require a proximal interphalangeal joint arthroplasty as a result of osteoarthritis of a proximal interphalangeal joint.

Main study parameters/endpoints: The main study parameters are the migration of the CapFlex PIP implant system of the distal as well as the proximal component (presented in x-, y- and z-direction). Secondary study parameters are the survival of the CapFlex PIP implant system, clinical scores and radiographic aspects.

Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Patients participating in the study will have the same risks when not participating in the study. Patients are asked to spend time to fill in the questionnaires and to have 3 extra visits to the hospital, next to the standard visits. Patients will have more follow up visits and will be followed using RSA analysis, which has as advantage that possible complications might be noticed earlier compared to normal follow up.

What participants receive

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

  • CapFlex PIP implantDevice

    Patients receive the CapFlex PIP implant based on regular care. During surgery tantalum markers are placed in the bone surrounding the implant.

What is being measured

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

  1. The change in Translation in mm

    Migration will be expressed in the change in translation measured over time compared to the postoperative baseline. Translation is expressed in mm and is given in 3 directions, namely along the x-, y- and z-axes

    Measured: postoperative baseline, 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 10 years.

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Rotation in degrees

    Migration will be expressed in the change in rotation measured over time compared to the postoperative baselin. Rotation is expressed in degrees and is given in 3 directions, namely along the x-, y- and z-axes

    Measured: postoperative baseline, 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 10 years.

  2. Survival

    Survival measured by the percentage of in place implants at each timepoint

    Measured: postoperative at 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 10 years.

  3. Radiographic aspects

    Radiographic aspects are measured on the x-rays at each time point

    Measured: postoperative baseline and at 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 10 years.

  4. Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHOQ)

    The MHOQ is a validated tool for assessing functional outcome and is divided in six subscales. Each subscale has a formula to calculate a score from 0 (severe disability) to 100 (no disability). The final score is the summation divided by six and goes from 0 (severe disability) to 100 (no disability).

    The MHOQ will be assessed at each time point.

    Measured: postoperative baseline and at 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 10 years.

  5. Patient Rated Wrist / Hand Evaluation (PRWHE)

    The PRWHE measures the patients view on pain, function and cosmetics of the hand/wrist. The maximum score is 150. A high score indicates presence of pain and disability, a low score indicates the absence of pain and disability.

    The PRWHE will be assessed at each time point.

    Measured: postoperative baseline and at 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 10 years.

  6. EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D-5L)

    The EQ-5D-5L is a general health-related quality of life questionnaire. The EQ-5D-5L will be assessed at each time point.

    Measured: postoperative baseline and at 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 10 years.

  7. Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

    The NRS measures the amount of pain experienced by the patient form 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable).

    The NRS will be assessed at each time point.

    Measured: postoperative baseline and at 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 10 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoarthritis Hand, run by Reinier Haga Orthopedisch Centrum at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Oct 2023. 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 Netherlands. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact N.M.C. Mathijssen (079 - 206 5595, Onderzoek@rhoc.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The change in Translation in mm (time frame: postoperative baseline, 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 10 years.). 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?
