NCT ID: NCT04432389 Recruiting - Tibial Fracture Clinical Trials

Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Allogeneic Osteoblastic Cells (ALLOB®) Single Implantation in Tibial Fracture

ALLOB-TF2
Start date: January 8, 2021
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Although the majority of tibial fractures heal normally, some fractures may not heal within the usual time frame and is known as delayed bone healing within 4 to 6 months and absence of bone healing within 9 to 12 months in the most severe case of. Several factors can increase the risks of delayed healing complications like, for example, smoking, violent shocks (for example, due to a road accident) or even the type of fracture (an open fracture). The location of the fracture is also an important factor: among the bones of the arms and legs, the tibia is known for being the most at risk for complications. At tibial fracture with several risk factors could lead to delayed complications and interfere with patient daily life and reduce the quality of life. The study drug, ALLOB®, is constituted of bone cells produced from the bone marrow of healthy adult donors. Preclinical studies have shown that ALLOB® cells are capable of forming bone and repairing fractures. When directly injected into a fracture, ALLOB® should therefore promote the healing of the fracture by re-establishing a healthy environment and stimulating bone production. To date, there is no treatment for fractures considered at risk of delayed complications. The current practice on diagnosis of complications is to wait at least 6-12 months before considering alternative interventions to promote fracture healing. The injection of ALLOB® quickly after the fracture should stimulate bone healing, reduce healing time, reduce complications, and improve the quality of life for the patient. ALLOB® has already shown preliminary evidence of effectiveness in the treatment of delayed bone healing fractures (ALLOB-DU1 clinical trial), including tibial fractures (8 patients). With this study, the Sponsor will evaluate whether ALLOB® promotes the healing of tibial fractures compared with placebo.

NCT ID: NCT01795287 Recruiting - Tibial Fracture Clinical Trials

Safety of Spinal Anesthesia in Patients With Tibial Shaft Fracture

Start date: March 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

There is a elevated risk of acute compartment syndrome (ACS) related to tibial shaft fractures due to oedema and reduced blood flow in traumatised tissues. This may lead to lack of oxygen and even necrosis. Symptoms of ACS are severe pain, hypoaesthesia, pain during flexion of the ankle and swollen leg in clinical examination. Paralysis and lack of distal pulses are late symptoms of ACS. Many experts think that effective relief of pain caused by regional anaesthesia (RA) may hide the symptoms of the ACS. This may be incorrect. The evidence of dangers related to RA is based on old patient-series and single case-reports. Some of these studies report the symptoms of ACS (hypaesthesia and even pain) being caused by RA. Majority of the conclusions in these studies cannot be confirmed by an expert of RA. It is also possible that there are more hemodynamic changes related to general anaesthesia (GA) which may predispose to ACS. There are no modern, randomized and controlled studies of the safety of RA in patients with tibial shaft fracture.
