A Clinical Registry to Collect Patient Outcome Date for the BIOMET® Stimulator Systems

June 16, 2017 updated by: Zimmer Biomet

A Clinical Registry to Collect Patient Outcome Data for the BIOMET® EBI Bone Healing System, BIOMET® OrthoPak® Non-invasive Bone Growth Stimulator System, and the BIOMET® SpinalPak® Non-Invasive Spine Fusion Stimulator System

The purpose of this clinical registry is to capture data on an ongoing basis from a population of patients who will use Biomet's BHS, OrthoPak and SpinalPak devices.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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

The purpose of this clinical registry is to capture current, real-world, bone specific healing data from the medical records of patients being treated with a Biomet® EBI Bone Healing System (BHS), the Biomet® OrthoPak® Non-Invasive Bone Growth Stimulator System, or the Biomet® SpinalPak® Non-Invasive Spine Fusion Stimulator System. This study will provide current data on the effectiveness of these electrical stimulation devices.

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 and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

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
Radiographic Assessment of Healing
Time Frame: The time frame for healing determination was not pre-specified. Patients were evaluated at regular doctors' visits for up to 12 months. The physician determined the time point at which healing occurred for each patient at their regular visits.
Bone healing was assessed on x-rays and/or CT scan.
The time frame for healing determination was not pre-specified. Patients were evaluated at regular doctors' visits for up to 12 months. The physician determined the time point at which healing occurred for each patient at their regular visits.

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
Quality of Life Assessment
Time Frame: The quality of life assessment was to be completed at the regular doctor's visit at which the physician determined the patient to be healed. No quality of life data was collected.
Quality of life was intended to be measured by 5 scoring systems that ask a range of questions about the patient's pain and function. No quality of life data was captured for any of the patients and as such no quality of life analysis was performed.
The quality of life assessment was to be completed at the regular doctor's visit at which the physician determined the patient to be healed. No quality of life data was collected.

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

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.
