NCT ID NCT05721560

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This early study tests a new device called SINEFIX to repair small rotator cuff tears (up to 2 cm) in 9 adults. The implant is placed during keyhole surgery to reattach the torn tendon to the bone. Researchers will use MRI scans to check if the tendon heals properly and if there are any complications like re-tears or implant dislocation.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
SINEFIX implant (a device used to reattach torn rotator cuff tendons during arthroscopic surgery)
What this could lead to
If successful, this implant could offer a more reliable way to repair small rotator cuff tears, potentially reducing re-tear rates and improving shoulder function.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study (9 people) with no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. The implant could dislocate or cause bursitis, and long-term benefits are unknown.
