Effect of Tergase Injection on Reducing Edema After Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty (ALT-TKA)

2026년 7월 12일 업데이트: Man Soo Kim

A Randomized, Split Body, Evaluator-blinded, Trial on the Effect of Tergase Injection (Berahyaluronidase Alfa) on Reducing Edema After Both Total Knee Arthroplasty

This clinical trial is conducted to compare and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tergase injection (4,500 IU) in reducing postoperative edema between treated and untreated knees in patients undergoing bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Prior to participation, all subjects receive a full explanation of the study and provide voluntary written informed consent. Only subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria through screening procedures are enrolled. Enrolled subjects are randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups in a 1:1 ratio per knee, utilizing a split-body clinical trial design that compares both knees of the same subject.

The analysis target is 60 knees obtained from a total of 30 subjects. According to the randomization results, the knee assigned to the experimental group receives a subcutaneous injection of 3 vials (4,500 IU) of Tergase, while the contralateral knee serves as the untreated control group.

By including both the experimental and control groups within the same subject, inter-individual variation is minimized. While the investigator performing the injection is aware of the assignment, the subject remains blinded.

To overcome the physical impossibility of blinding the injector due to the route of administration and drug characteristics, an 'Evaluator-Blinded' design is adopted to maintain objectivity equivalent to a double-blind study. To achieve this, the unblinded injector and the blinded evaluator who measures efficacy outcomes are strictly separated, and operational blinding is maintained by blocking information exchange between the two groups.

Subjects are evaluated for efficacy and safety during hospitalization or outpatient visits at Day 1, 2, 3, 5, Week 2, Week 6, and Month 3 after bilateral TKA. Participation ends upon completion of the planned visits.

실험적: Tergase Injection Knee
One knee of the subject, randomly assigned to receive a subcutaneous injection of 4,500 IU (3 vials) of Tergase (Berahyaluronidase alfa) at 8 points immediately after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
A total dose of 4,500 IU (3.0 mL; 3 vials) of berahyaluronidase alfa is administered subcutaneously around the suture line of the randomly assigned knee immediately after total knee arthroplasty. The dose is divided into 8 injection points, approximately 0.375 mL per point.

Percent Change From Baseline in Composite Edema Index Based on Leg Circumference Measurements
기간: Baseline, Postoperative Day 2
The Composite Edema Index is calculated as the arithmetic mean of the percent change from preoperative baseline in leg circumference measured at four prespecified anatomical locations: calf at the thickest part, suprapatellar area just above the patella, infrapatellar area just below the patella, and thigh 10 cm above the patella. A higher percentage indicates greater postoperative edema.
