Patch Study (Patch-augmented Rotator Cuff Repair)

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical Trial Description

This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled study will compare patients allocated to two treatment arms who are undergoing surgery to repair rotator cuff tears: (1) arthroscopic rotator cuff reconstruction using fixation with anchors augmented with a synthetic polyester patch, and (2) arthroscopic rotator cuff reconstruction using fixation with anchors and no augmentation with a synthetic polyester patch. The primary objective is to compare complications (primarily retear rates) and the secondary objective is to compare mid- and long-term clinical and radiological outcomes using standard orthopedic assessments, such as the subjective shoulder value and the Constant-Murley score. The Pitch-Patch is a single-use synthetic polyester patch (Pitch-Patch, neoligamentsTM, Leeds, UK) intended to reinforce the rotator cuff following or during repair by sutures or suture anchors where weakness exists in the soft tissue. The surgical group will be randomly assigned, and each group will include 150 patients. After surgery, patients will be followed for two years and undergo clinical and radiological assessments. The main research question to be answered by this investigation is whether synthetic patch augmentation can significantly improve outcomes in patients with rotator cuff tears from either degenerative or traumatic origins versus patients with no patch augmentation. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
