New modular implants aim to rebuild bones lost to cancer or injury
NCT ID NCT07369778
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a new line of massive prosthetic implants (the Pantheon range) in 375 people who have lost large amounts of bone due to cancer, complex fractures, or failed previous surgeries. The implants are designed to restore function quickly and stay stable long-term. Researchers will track how long the implants last without needing revision and how patients' quality of life changes over five years.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Pantheon range massive prosthetic implants (including PFR, DFR, PTR, TFR, hybrid connectors, custom-made implants)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that these modular implants provide long-lasting, stable reconstruction for people with severe bone loss, improving mobility and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study with no control group, so results may not prove superiority over existing options. Implants can fail over time, requiring revision surgery.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The population concerns patients with massive bone loss, because of oncological or non-oncological issue. Patients have massive prosthetic reconstruction using the Pantheon prosthesis from Adler Laboratories. The prostheses are: * Proximal Femur Recontruction (PFR) * Distal Femur Reconstruction (DFR) * Proximal Tibia Reconstruction (PTR) * Total Femur Reconstruction (TFR) * Custom implants Minors aged 15 and over may be included in the study, with no maximum age limit. Patient who has been informed about the study and doesn't object to participating.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 15 years or older at the time of inclusion * Surgery scheduled at one of the participating centres with an Adler implant from the list below: Implants from the Pantheon prosthesis: Proximal Femur Recontruction (PFR) Distal Femur Reconstruction (DFR) Proximal Tibia Reconstruction (PTR) Total Femur Reconstruction (TFR) Hybrid connector implants Custom-made implants * Follow-up scheduled at one of the participating centres for the duration of the study * Patient who has been informed about the study and does not object to participating In the case of minor patients, the patient's parents will also be informed, and their non-objection will be sought. * Patient affiliated with a Social Security scheme in France. Exclusion Criteria: * Patient or parent of a minor patient who objects to participation in the study and data collection. * Patient deprived of liberty or under legal protection (guardianship or curatorship)
