Subchondroplasty Procedure in Patients With Bone Marrow Lesions

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a prospective, multi-center, post-market data collection study intended to collect data on the short- and long-term safety and performance of the SCP Procedure.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Patients with symptomatic BML(s) of the knee(s) who qualify for a SCP Procedure will be invited to participate. This study will enroll up to 95 patients across 4 investigative centers in Europe over a period of 12 months. The maximum study duration is expected to be 6 years. Follow-up assessments will be conducted at 1 month, 3, 6, 12-months and 24-months post injection; and subjects will be asked questions regarding their pain and functioning to further understand long-term outcomes. For all subjects at selected centers, a long standing X-ray and MRI at screening and either at 12 months or 24 months will be obtained.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Subchondroplasty Procedure<br>The SCP Procedure targets and fills bone defects with AccuFill bone substitute material utilizing an arthroscopic / percutaneous approach | Device: Subchondroplasty Procedure<br>* AccuFill is an injectable, self-setting, macro-porous, osteoconductive, calcium phosphate bone graft substitute material that is intended for use to fill bony voids or gaps of the lower extremities (pelvis through foot) that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure<br>* Other names: AccuFill Injectable Calcium Phosphate;|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) pain subscale | Change in pain following SCP Procedure as measured by the KOOS pain subscale. The KOOS is a validated instrument which measures knee pain and function using five subscales: pain, symptoms, function in daily living, function in sport and recreation, and quality of life. The instrument consists of 42 standardized questions each having 5 point Likert response scale. | 12 months | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) | Change in KOOS pain and function subscales and overall scores. The KOOS is a validated instrument which measures knee pain and function using five subscales: pain, symptoms, function in daily living, function in sport and recreation, and quality of life. The instrument consists of 42 standardized questions each having 5 point Likert response scale. | 2 year | 
| Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain scale | Change in pain as measured by NRS pain scale. The NRS is a validated measure of knee pain. The NRS is an 11 point Likert type scale anchored by 0 no pain and 10 worst possible pain. Subjects rate their average pain over the last week | 2 year | 
| EuroQol-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) | Change in quality of life as measured by EQ-5D. The EQ-5D is a validated instrument that assesses an individual's current health status and heath related quality of life. The EQ-5D-5L descriptive component assesses five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression over five levels of severity | 2 year | 
| Heath care utilization Questionnaire | Healthcare utilization for each subject will be recorded via a not validated questionnaire to capture information about any treatments, therapies, specialists, etc. utilized for pain or symptom relief following study treatment and follow-up. | 2 year | 
| Subject global satisfaction Questionnaire | The subject global satisfaction is concerned with determining patient-related factors such as patients' satisfaction with treatment, and experienced health outcomes. The questionnaire uses a not validated 11 point scale anchored by 0 totally dissatisfied and 10 extremely satisfied. | 2 year | 
| Occurrence of Re-operations | Occurrence of subjects that require any re-operation on the index knee from initial SCP Procedure. | 2 year | 
| Time to Re-operations | Time from initial SCP Procedure to any re-operation | 2 year | 
| Occurrence of Revisions | Occurrence of subjects that require revision on the index knee from initial SCP Procedure. | 2 year | 
| Time to Revisions | Time from initial SCP Procedure to revisions | 2 year | 
| X-ray | X-ray evaluation of alignment, joint space narrowing, osteophyte and cyst formation and subchondral sclerosis | 12 months | 
| MRI BML lesion size | MRI evaluation of Bone Marrow Lesion Size | 12 months | 
| MRI BML type | MRI evaluation of Bone Marrow Lesion Type | 12 months | 
| MRI Intraosseous vascularity | MRI evaluation of Intraosseous Vascularity | 12 months | 
| MRI location of injectate | MRI evaluation of Location of Injectate. | 12 months | 
| Adverse Events | Occurrence of Adverse Events | 2 year |
