Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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

Potential subjects will be identified from the customer base of a relevant clinic. If a potential participant may fit the inclusion and exclusion criteria, he/she will be contacted by a Co-Investigator (CI) via telephone. During the telephone call the CI will verify if they are interested in participating in a study and will initiate the enrollment procedure. If interest is expressed at this point they will answer some screening questions and if the eligibility criteria is met the subject is offered to enroll by getting a study invite through ProofPilot, the EDS, and an appointment to come in for initial fitting will be set up. Questions relating to the duration of the study, number of clinical visits required, and the investigational device will be answered at this time.

Following this the subject will log into ProofPilot online and go through the e-ICF, if signed, the subject will answer a profile questionnaire.

The next step will be an appointment, subject comes into their clinic and gets the investigational device. In some cases, the subject will get the liner shipped to their home address. This will only be done upon subjects request due to long distance from clinic. And only for very confident prosthetic users which are used to handle a new liner by themselves.

Potential risk of participating in the investigation will be explained to the subject at this point. The CIs will communicate to the study monitors the number of users that have been identified that meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria and are willing to participate.

During the clinical visit the subjects will only be fitted to the Iceform investigational liner. Profile and relevant contact information will already have been collected via the EDS.

Subjects will then receive a prompt monthly, either via email, SMS or smartphone notification, to fill in the EDS questionnaire, and perform any tasks as applicable. If a subject reports a failure he/she will be instructed to stop using the liner, the remaining gift cards will be delivered and their participation ends. Otherwise, participation will end at 6 months.

The subject gets to keep the investigational device at the end of the study, therefore there is no need for an additional visit.

Subjects that report a failure of the TPE material may be contacted by the Coordinating Investigator or CI if the root cause of the failure cannot be confidently determined from the data collected with the EDS 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.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for 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

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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

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.
EXPERIMENTAL: Failure time analysis

The primary objective is to evaluate the durability of the investigational device over its intended use lifetime (i.e. warranty period), specifically relating to any defect in the TPE material. Additionally, to gather information on the rate of side-effects, i.e. skin rashes, sores, etc.

Secondary objectives relate to gather information on how amputees use the liner, specifically:

  • Intensity of use (days/week and hours/day)
  • Alternation; i.e. switching every other day between liners
  • Use of personal hygiene or cosmetic products

The following performance and safety aspects are to be verified:

• The ICEFORM line of devices are durable over their intended use lifetime.
Device: Iceform liner and sleeve
Subjects will be asked to use the investigational device as their primary prosthesis for up to 6 months. TPE material durability evaluated through monthly online questionnaires.
