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 Results may not be published yet.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 study looks at a device called the Triathlon Tritanium Cone Augment, used in revision knee replacement surgery. Researchers want to see if it helps prevent the need for further surgery due to loosening. About 254 people who need a full knee replacement revision are being followed for 2 years to check how well the device holds up.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Triathlon Tritanium Cone Augments (a medical device used in knee revision surgery)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could provide a more durable option for people needing revision knee replacement, reducing the chance of needing another surgery due to loosening.
What could go wrong
This is a post-market study, not a randomized trial, so results may not apply to all patients. The device may still fail or cause pain, and long-term outcomes beyond 2 years are not yet known.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient has signed an Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Ethics Committee (EC) approved, study specific Informed Patient Consent Form. * Patient is a male or non-pregnant female, skeletally mature and age 18 years or older at time of study device implantation. * Patient is a candidate for revision of all femoral and tibial components of a total knee replacement. * Patient is willing and able to comply with postoperative scheduled clinical and radiographic evaluations and rehabilitation. Exclusion Criteria: * Patient has a Body Mass Index (BMI) \> 45. * Patient has an active or suspected latent infection in or about the affected knee joint at time of study device implantation. * Patient has a neuromuscular or neurosensory deficiency, which limits the ability to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the device. * Patient is diagnosed with a systemic disease (e.g. Lupus Erythematosus) or a metabolic disorder (e.g. Paget's disease) leading to progressive bone deterioration. * Patient is immunologically suppressed or receiving steroids in excess of normal physiological requirements (e.g. \> 30 days). * Patient has a failed unicondylar knee prosthesis. * Patient has a known sensitivity to device materials. * Patient is a prisoner.
