MRI Evaluation of Integrity Bio-Inductive Implant for Rotator Cuff Tears

• Conditions: Rotator Cuff Tears

• Registration Number: NCT06353893
• Lead Sponsor: Foundation for Orthopaedic Research and Education

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the Integrity bio-inductive implant in treating partial and full thickness rotator cuff tears. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* How does the application of the Integrity implant affect patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) such as ASES, SANE, and PROMIS?

* What are the imaging characteristics of the rotator cuff tears at 3 and 6 months postoperatively when using the Integrity implant?

Postoperative MRIs will be obtained from 10 consecutive patients who have undergone rotator cuff repair using the Integrity implant at 3 and 6 months after surgery. Participants include those with partial and full thickness tears treated with different surgical techniques involving the implant. They may receive either isolated onlay use of the graft for partial tears or augmentation of a standard single or double row repair with the graft applied to the superior surface of the repair.

Detailed Description

The aim of this prospective, non-randomized, open-label, single-arm study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the newly FDA-cleared Integrity graft for various types of rotator cuff repairs. This study incorporates preoperative assessments as well as follow-up assessments at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively. The primary objective is to document the safety profile of the Integrity graft by monitoring device-related adverse events throughout the study duration. Additionally, the study aims to assess the post-market effectiveness of the Integrity implant using patient-reported outcome measures and establish normal or standard findings on MRI to aid surgeons in clinical decision-making.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
MRI Assessment of Adverse Events and Structural Integrity	3 and 6 months after index procedure	The primary endpoint of this study is the adverse events rate and structural failure rate of the rotator cuff repair, determined by MRI, at 3 months and 6 months following use of the Anika Integrity implant system.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Effectiveness Evaluation with PROMIS outcome tool	3 months after index procedure	The secondary endpoints of the study include evaluating PROMIS scores (assessing various aspects of quality of life in a questionnaire which is scored)
Effectiveness Evaluation with SANE score	6 months after index procedure	The secondary endpoints of the study include evaluating SANE scores: Single assessment numeric rating scale of 0-10 with 0 being NO pain and 10 being worst or severe pain (patients' perceived improvement)
Effectiveness Evaluation with PROMIS tool	6 months after index procedure	The secondary endpoints of the study include evaluating PROMIS scores (assessing various aspects of quality of life)
Effectiveness Evaluation with ASES rating scale	6 months after index procedure	The secondary endpoints of the study include evaluating ASES rating scale (for shoulder function and pain)ASES is a mixed-outcome reporting tool, meaning it consists of a physician-rated and patient-rated questionnaire. The patient-rated questionnaire focuses on joint pain, instability and activities of daily living.
