Vivacit-E Post-market Follow-up Study

December 30, 2024 updated by: Zimmer Biomet

Post Market Clinical Follow-up Study of the Zimmer Vivacit-E Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene Liner Used With the Continuum Acetabular Shell

The objectives of this study are to obtain clinical performance (outcomes) data and survivorship for commercially available Vivacit-E (HXPE) liners. This will be done by analysis of polyethylene wear, validated outcome measurement tools, radiographs, and reported adverse events data.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

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

Safety will be evaluated by monitoring the frequency and incidence of adverse events.

Performance will be determined by assessment of the overall pain and functional performances, survivorship, health status and radiographic parameters of all enrolled study subjects who receive the Vivacit-E HXPE Liner with the Continuum acetabular shell.

In addition, the implanted Vivacit-E HXPE Liners will be evaluated for bedding in, and linear and volumetric wear by the Martell 2-D method at 6 weeks and 1, 2, 4, & 5 years postoperatively.

Pain and functional performance will be measured using the Harris Hip and High Activity Arthroplasty Scores. Survivorship will be based on removal or intended removal of the device and through analysis of radiographs, and health status will be determined by evaluation of the EQ-5D.

Study Type

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

18 years to 60 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient is 18 to 60 years of age, inclusive.
  • Patient is skeletally mature.
  • Patient qualifies for primary unilateral or bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) based on physical exam and medical history including at least one of the following:
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Avascular necrosis (AVN)
  • Post-traumatic arthritis
  • Congenital hip dysplasia
  • Patient has no history of previous total hip replacement or arthrodesis of the affected hip joint(s).
  • Patient is willing and able to provide written informed 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 as described in the Informed Consent.
  • Patient has participated in the Informed Consent process and has signed the IRB/EC approved informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient is unwilling or unable to give consent or to comply with the follow-up program.
  • Patient has a total prosthetic hip replacement device (including surface replacement arthroplasty, endoprosthesis, etc. in the affected hip joint(s).
  • Inflammatory Arthritis
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis

  • The patient is:

    • a prisoner mentally incompetent or unable to understand what participation in the study entails a known alcohol or drug abuser
    • anticipated to be non-compliant
    • The patient has an acute, chronic, or systemic infection(s).
    • The patient has total or partial absence of the muscular or ligamentous apparatus.
    • The patient has neuromuscular compromise, vascular deficiency or other conditions in the affected limb that may lead to inadequate skeletal fixation.
    • The patient has osteoradionecrosis.
    • The patient has lack of bony structures proximal or distal to the operative joint, so that good implant fixation is unlikely or impossible.
    • The patient has local bone tumors/cysts in the bone to be retained that the implanting surgeon determines could inhibit implant fixation.
    • The patient is skeletally immature.
    • The patient has any concomitant disease that can jeopardize the functioning and the success of the implant.
    • The patient is known to be pregnant.
    • The patient has a known sensitivity or allergic reaction to one or more of the implanted materials which include metal (titanium, tivanium, tantalum, cobalt, chromium, nickel) and ceramic.

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
Survival of the study device; whether or not it is still implanted in the subject
Time Frame: 10 years
Survival is classified as removal of the study device for any reason
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
Incidence of treatment-emergent Adverse Events (safety)
Time Frame: 10 years
Safety is assessed by monitoring the frequency and incidence of all adverse events, with particular focus on those that may be related to the study device.

Harris Hip Score
Time Frame: 10 years
Functional outcomes are measured with the Harris Hip Score, including range of motion, pain level, activity levels and patient satisfaction.
10 years
Patient activity level
Time Frame: 10 years
Patient activity level is assessed with the High Activity Arthroplasty score, filled out by the patient.
10 years
Patient Quality of Life
Time Frame: 10 years
