Triathlon Tritanium Knee Outcomes Study

October 24, 2023 updated by: Stryker Orthopaedics
The success of the Triathlon Tritanium Knee will be determined by comparing the rate of absence of revision for aseptic loosening of the tibial baseplate at 2 years with the rates reported in the literature.

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

Cases are to be enrolled at five to ten centers. The same center may be included in both arms. Conversely, a center may choose to participate in only a single arm. The enrollment goal is approximately 36 - 72 cases per center for Cohort 1 (cementless) and 15 - 30 cases per center for Cohort 2 (cemented) , and will vary dependent upon the number of participating centers. Although a goal is presented, there is no maximum limit to the number of cases that a center may enroll. In the event that a center far exceeds the enrollment goal, Stryker may ask the center to cease enrollment so as not to skew the data. All participating centers will comply with the federal regulations regarding patient informed consent and Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Ethics Committee (EC) approval. Non-compliance of a study center may result in termination of the center's participation in the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

14 years to 71 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  4. Patient is a candidate for primary cementless total knee replacement, including a resurfaced patella.
  5. Patient is willing and able to comply with postoperative scheduled clinical and radiographic evaluations and rehabilitation.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient has a Body Mass Index (BMI) > 40.
  2. Patient has a diagnosis of avascular necrosis or inflammatory arthritis.
  3. Patient has an active or suspected latent infection in or about the affected knee joint at time of study device implantation.
  4. Patient has a neuromuscular or neurosensory deficiency, which limits the ability to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the device.
  5. Subject is diagnosed with a systemic disease (e.g. Lupus Erythematosus) or a metabolic disorder (e.g. Paget's Disease) leading to progressive bone deterioration.
  6. Patient is immunologically suppressed or receiving steroids in excess of normal physiological requirements (e.g. > 30 days).
  7. Patient is diagnosed with lumbar radicular pain.
  8. Patient has a known sensitivity to device materials.
  9. Patient is a prisoner.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Active Comparator: Triathlon Tritanium Knee
Cases are enrolled in the Cohort 1 (cementless) until a total of 356 cases receive the Triathlon Tritanium Tibial Baseplate, Triathlon Tritanium Patella, Triathlon CR or PS Beaded Femur with PA and the Triathlon Tibial Insert. All components in this cohort must used in a cementless application.
Device: Triathlon Tritanium Knee
Cementless
Active Comparator: Triathlon Knee
Enrollment in Cohort 2 (cemented) will begin upon completion of enrollment into the Cohort 1 (cementless), and will continue until a total of 144 cases receive the Triathlon Tibial Tray, Triathlon Patella, Triathlon CR or PS Femur and Triathlon Tibial Insert. All components in this cohort must be used in a cemented application.

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
Number of Knees With Cementless Application That Had Successful Primary Total Knee Replacement With the Triathlon Tritanium Total Knee System
Time Frame: 2 years
Success is defined as freedom from Triathlon Tritanium Tibial Baseplate revision for aseptic loosening.
2 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
Compare Oxford Knee Score (OKS) Scores Between Both Groups
Time Frame: 2 years
The OKS questionnaire consists of 12 questions that cover function and pain of the knee. Each question is scored from 0 to 4 (0 being the worst outcome and 4 being the best). The overall score is the sum of all items and can range from 0 to 48, with higher scores corresponding to better outcomes.
2 years
Implant Survivorship (Baseplate and Patella)
Time Frame: 10 years
This secondary outcome measure is a statistical estimation on the number of cases at risk at 1-year, 3-years, 5-years and 7-years postoperative in the cementless cohort 1 only, per protocol. The final 10-year results were not done due to early study termination.
10 years
Compare 2011 Knee Society Score (KSS) Scores Between Both Groups
Time Frame: 2 years
The 2011 Knee Society Score System is comprised of 4 distinct sub-scores: Objective, Functional, Patient Satisfaction and Expectations. The Objective and Functional sub-scores range from a potential minimum score of 0 to a maximum score of 100 points. The Patient Satisfaction sub-score ranges from a potential minimum score of 0 to a maximum score of 40 points. The Subject Expectations sub-score ranges from a potential minimum score of 0 to a maximum score of 15 points. Although the specific scores are not distinguished as "excellent," "good," "fair," or "poor," a higher value represents a better outcome.
2 years
Compare Short Form-12 (SF-12) Scores Between Both Groups
Time Frame: 2 years
The SF-12 Health Survey is a 12-item patient quality-of-life questionnaire to measure general health and well-being. It is comprised of two distinct scores (physical and mental component score). They are both calculated on a scale ranging from 0 points to 100 points, with low values representing a poor health state and high values representing a good health state.
