Gender Solutions Natural Knee Post-Market Study

January 8, 2019 updated by: Zimmer Biomet

Prospective Multicenter Post-market Study of the Zimmer Gender Solutions Natural Knee Flex System

This is a prospective multicenter study of the Gender Solutions Natural Knee Flex System when used in primary total knee arthroplasty. The purpose of the study is to obtain short-, Mid-, and long-term clinical outcomes and implant survivorship data for the Gender Solutions Natural Knee Flex System.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Withdrawn

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Survival and outcome data on the Gender Solutions Natural Knee Flex System will be done by an analysis of standard scoring system, radiographs and adverse event records. Survivorship will be evaluated by monitoring the frequency and incidence of adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse device effects, serious adverse device effects, and unanticipated adverse device effects. Outcomes will be measured by comparing the overall pain and function performances (based on the Knee Society Scoring System), survivorship, subject quality of life and radiographic parameters of study subjects receiving the Gender Solutions Natural Knee Flex System.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Each investigator will screen from his patient population patients suffering from severe knee pain and disability who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria for study participation.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient 18-75 years of age, inclusive;
  • Patient qualifies for a total knee arthroplasty based on physical exam and medical history including at least one of the following: osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or valgus, varus, or flexion deformities;
  • Patient has undergone a study related informed consent process;
  • Patient is willing and able to provide written consent;
  • Patient is willing and able to cooperate in the required post-operative therapy;
  • Patient is willing and able to complete scheduled follow-up evaluations.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient has previous history of infection in the affected joint and/or a local or systemic infection that could affect the prosthetic joint;
  • Insufficient bone stock on femoral or tibial surfaces;
  • Skeletal immaturity
  • Neuropathic arthropathy
  • Osteoporosis or any loss of musculature or neuromuscular disease that compromises the affected limb;
  • Stable, painless arthrodesis in a satisfactory functional position;
  • Severe instability secondary to the absence of collateral ligament integrity;
  • Patient has rheumatoid arthritis and an ulcer of the skin or a history of recurrent breakdown of the skin because of their risk of postoperative infection is greater;
  • Patient has known sensitivity or allergy to one or more of the implanted materials;
  • Patients pregnant or considered a member of a protected population (e.g., prisoner, mental incompetence, unable to understand what clinical trial participation entails, etc.)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Survivorship
Time Frame: 10 years
Based on frequency of adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse device effects, serious adverse devices effects and unanticipated adverse device effects or removal of the device summarized using a Kaplan-Meier method and presented with rates (as percentages) and confidence intervals.
10 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pain Performance
Time Frame: 10 years
Measured by comparing the overall pain performances (based on Knee Society Scoring System), Survivorship, subject quality of life and radiographic parameters.
10 years
Function Performance
Time Frame: 10 Years
Measured by comparing the overall function performances (based on the Knee Society Scoring System), survivorship, subject quality of life and radiographic parameters.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
January 1, 2012

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
July 1, 2024

Study Completion (Anticipated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
