Cartilage Injury Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Prospective, Multicenter, Single-Arm, 2-Phase First-in-Human Feasibility Study of the HYALEX® Cartilage System
The Hyalex First-in-Human Study is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, 2-phase, first-in-human study to evaluate the safety and technical performance of the HYALEX Knee Cartilage System for replacement of loss of articular cartilage and bone of the knee femoral condyles in symptomatic patients who require surgical treatment.

Non-responsive to a minimum of 3 weeks of conservative treatment, consisting of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and/or physical therapy. Exclusion Criteria - Phase 1 & 2 HYALEX Implant, Surgical Technique, and Lesion Site Exclusions: 1. Known allergy to polyurethanes, bone cement, acrylic, or titanium. 2. Lack of 2mm of healthy cartilage (ICRS Grade 0 or 1) and 2mm of vital bone wall on all sides of the implant site. 3. Osteochondral defect affecting subchondral bone more than 11mm in depth from adjacent non-defect articular surface. 4. Bipolar cartilage lesions involving patellar or tibial lesions ICRS Grade 3 - 4 opposite the lesion intended for treatment. 5. Insufficient bone stock or bone density determined intra-operatively preventing implant press fit. Patient Orthopaedic Health Exclusions: 1. Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) grade 3 or 4 on standing radiographs as defined: 2. Hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle of greater than +/- 5 degrees (varus or valgus malalignment > 5 degrees) on standing X-ray. 3. Lack of normally functioning contralateral knee that restricts activity. 4. Insufficiency fracture of the femoral condyle or tibial plateau. 5. Recent Osteochondritis Dissecans within 1 year. 6. Diagnosis of a concomitant knee injury which the investigator believes may interfere with study participation or confound effectiveness assessment. 7. Any known systemic cartilage and/or bone disorder, such as but not limited to osteoporosis, chondrodysplasia or osteogenesis imperfecta. 8. A symptomatic musculoskeletal condition in the lower limbs that could impede effectiveness measurements in the target knee. 9. Any known tumor of the treatment knee. 10. Prior radiation therapy to the knee joint. 11. Clinically significant or symptomatic vascular or neurological disorder of the lower extremities affecting gait or function. 12. Untreated ACL and/or PCL deficiency or complex ligamentous instability of the study knee according to IKDC Grade C (abnormal) or D (severely abnormal). Previous Surgery and Intervention Exclusions: 1. Previous surgery in the past 6 months on the index knee except for: 1. Diagnostic knee arthroscopy and/or debridement / chondroplasty, and 2. Meniscectomy 2. Previous intra-articular injections, including HA and steroids, within the last 3 months prior to the date of surgery. |

Primary | Freedom from implant rejection and infection. | Assess the safety (implant rejection, infection) and tolerability of the Hyalex Cartilage Implant. | Through 24 months. | |
Primary | Change in the Knee Injury & Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) from baseline at 12 months. | The KOOS assesses patient pain, other symptoms, function in daily living, function in sport and recreation, and knee related quality of life. Scores range from 0 to 100 with a score of 0 indicating the worst possible knee symptoms and 100 indicating no knee symptoms. | Through 12 months. |
