Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial compares a new self-locking biceps tenodesis technique against a standard method for repairing the biceps tendon during rotator cuff surgery. About 100 adults with full-thickness rotator cuff tears and biceps tendon issues will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The goal is to see which technique leads to better shoulder function and fewer complications, such as the Popeye deformity where the biceps muscle bulges abnormally.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
self-locking biceps tenodesis (surgical procedure)
What this could lead to
If successful, this new self-locking technique could become the preferred method for biceps tendon repair, reducing the risk of Popeye deformity and improving shoulder function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial comparing two surgical techniques. The new method may not prove superior, and individual results vary. Surgery carries standard risks like infection or stiffness.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Rotator cuff tear: confirmed preoperative diagnosis of a non- traumatic, full- thickness tear of the supraspinatus and/or infraspinatus and/or subscapularis tendon, as evidenced by ultrasound, arthro- CT or MRI. * Language proficiency: sufficient to allow for communication during the informed consent process and for the completion of the study questionnaires. Exclusion Criteria: * Tear type: partial thickness rotator cuff tears are excluded. * Tear severity: individuals with massive or irreparable rotator cuff tears are excluded. * Fatty degeneration: presence of rotator cuff muscle fatty degeneration classified as Grade 4 according to the Goutallier system will result in exclusion. * Glenohumeral osteoarthritis: patients exhibiting glenohumeral osteoarthritis, defined radiographically by the presence of joint space narrowing or osteophytes on anteroposterior (radiographs of the affected shoulder) will be excluded. * Prior shoulder surgery: history of previous surgical intervention on the affected shoulder will result in exclusion. * Popeye sign: preoperative presence of the Popeye sign will result in exclusion. * Cognitive impairment: pre- existing dementia or any condition that impairs the ability to understand study procedures and complete questionnaires and assessments is an exclusion criterion. * Pregnant, parturient or breast-feeding patients. * Persons under legal protection (curatorship, guardianship, safeguard of justice). * Persons deprived of their liberty by judicial or administrative measure * Persons under psychiatric care * Persons not affiliated to a social security scheme
