Clinical Trial Summary

The main objective of the trial is to assess the clinical changes in terms of physical examination, VAS Scale and the Quick-DASH questionnaire, and the biomechanical parameters in terms of mobility of the TMC joint, the grip strength of the hand and lateral pinch strength in patients with rhizarthrosis after administration of viscosupplementation. The secondary objectives of the trial will be to assess the safety of the treatment with viscosupplementation, and the correlation between the clinical and biomechanical changes at the end of the trial.

Description:

This is a prospective, open, non-comparative study in 36 subjects with rhizarthrosis, comparing signs and symptoms before and after a single injection of DUROLANE SJ in the affected hand. Subjects were assessed pre-treatment and at 1, 3, and 6 months post-treatment. This study is associated with a post marketing commitment with the European Notified Body, BSI, to confirm DUROLANE SJ's effectiveness in rhizarthrosis.

Intervention

Device:
• Durolane SJ
DUROLANE® is a clear, transparent, viscous gel of highly purified, stabilized, non-animal-derived sodium hyaluronate that is biosynthesized using bacterial fermentation. NASHA technology is used to stabilize naturally entangled hyaluronic acid (HA) chains to produce a gel. The gel is suspended in phosphate-buffered saline at a concentration of 20 mg/mL .

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change From Baseline in Pain Measured by the VAS Scale	Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain in injected hand. The VAS scale ranges from 0 cm (least pain) to 10 cm (most pain).; A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a measurement instrument that measures a characteristic or attitude that is believed to range across a continuum of values and cannot easily be directly measured.	Baseline and 26 weeks
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Biomechanical Function, Measured by the Quick DASH Questionnaire	The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire is a 30-item questionnaire that looks at the ability of a patient to perform certain upper extremity activities.This is a self-report questionnaire that patients can use to rate difficulty and interference with daily life. Quick DASH questionnaire is a shortened version of the DASH Outcome Measure which uses 11 items to measure physical function and symptoms in people with musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb. Possible scores range from 11-55, which can be remapped to a 0-100 scale. This latter ranges from 0 units (most functionality) to 100 units (least functionality).	Baseline and 26 weeks
