Questo studio è stato identificato come potenzialmente ad alto impatto.
La metrica High Impact di OE, guidata dall'AI, stima l'influenza che un articolo potrebbe avere integrando i segnali della rivista in cui è stato pubblicato e il contenuto scientifico dell'articolo stesso.
Sviluppato utilizzando un'elaborazione del linguaggio naturale all'avanguardia, il modello High Impact di OE prevede in modo più accurato la futura performance citazionale di uno studio rispetto al solo fattore di impatto della rivista.
Ciò consente di riconoscere prima le ricerche clinicamente significative e aiuta i lettori a concentrarsi sugli articoli che hanno maggiori probabilità di influenzare la pratica futura.

Participants were subject to intramedullary nail fixation in 1 of 4 treatment protocols: 1) nail fixation alone (standard of care), 2) augmented with 1.0mg/mL rhBMP-2/CPM, 3) augmented with 2.0mg/mL rhBMP-2/CPM, or 4) augmented with buffer/CPM. The study was terminated early due to futility, with a lack of efficacy in time to fracture union.

L'Indice di Fragilità è uno strumento che aiuta l'interpretazione dei risultati significativi, fornendo una misura della forza di un risultato. L'Indice di Fragilità rappresenta il numero di eventi consecutivi che devono essere aggiunti a un risultato dicotomico per rendere il risultato non più significativo. Un numero piccolo rappresenta un risultato più debole, mentre un numero grande rappresenta un risultato più forte.
Perché questo studio era necessario ora?
The standard of care for the majority of tibial fractures has become intramedullary fixation. Despite this treatment, these fractures may display delayed healing or non-union, requiring secondary intervention. Osteoconductive proteins, such as recombinant human bone morphogenetic proteins (rhBMP), have been researched as a possible adjuvant in acute fracture treatment to improve fracture and wound-healing. A factor that needs to be considered with such intervention is maintaining the osteoconductive product at the fracture site for a sufficient amount of time to stimulate healing. A calcium phosphate matrix (CPM) carrier is a newly developed product that has displayed promising preliminary results for delivery of the rhBMP to the fracture site.
Qual era la domanda di ricerca principale?
In intramedullary nailing for closed diaphyseal tibial fractures, does adjuvant rhBMP-2/CPM stimulate healing and reduce time-to-healing compared to standard of care (SOC), measured over 52 weeks postoperatively?
- Based on an interim analysis conducted after the enrollment of 180 patients, the study was terminated early due to futility (lack of efficacy in time to fracture union, p>0.476 between rhBMP-2/CPM 2.0mg/mL group and SOC only group). Of the planned 600 patients, 387 were enrolled and randomized.
- In total, 57% of patients completed the study. The majority of patients who had discontinued participation in the study did so after fracture union had already been achieved. The main reasons for discontinuation were sponsor (Wyeth) withdrawal (15%), loss to follow-up (13%), and patient request (10%).
- The median time to fracture union was similar between groups (p>0.05). Times to fracture union were 13.1 weeks in the SOC group, 13.0 weeks in the 1.0mg/mL rhBMP-2/CPM group, 15.9 weeks in the 2.0mg/mL rhBMP-2/CPM group, and 15.4 weeks in the buffer/CPM group.
- Fracture union was achieved similarly between groups: 91.5% for the SOC group, 88.8% for the 1.0mg/mL rhBMP-2/CPM group, 88.4% for the 2.0mg/mL rhBMP-2/CPM group, and 86.2% the buffer/CPM group. Delayed union and nonunion was similarly low between groups: 3-5% across groups. Hardware failure occurred most frequently in the 2.0mg/mL rhBMP-2/CPM group (14%). The rates in the other 3 groups were 6-7%.
- Groups achieved pain-free full weight-bearing at similar times. Median times to full weight-bearing were 13.4 weeks in the SOC group, 13.4 weeks in the 1.0mg/mL rhBMP-2/CPM group, 14.3 weeks in the 2.0mg/mL rhBMP-2/CPM group, and 16.4 weeks in the buffer/CPM group.
- The rate of compartment syndrome was also similarly low across groups (2-3%). The rate of grade-3 or -4 edema was low among all four groups (0-2%).
- Venous thromboembolic events occurred in 2% of the 1.0mg/mL rhBMP/CPM group, 3% of the 2.0mg/mL rhBMP/CPM group, and 2% of the buffer/CPM group, with none occurring in the SOC group. The difference was not statistically significant and the events were judged not related to rhBMP-2 intervention.
- Postoperative heterotopic ossification and calcinosis was higher among the injected groups.
Che cosa devo ricordare di più?
Augmentation with Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) within a Calcium Phosphate Matrix carrier in intramedullary nail fixation for closed tibial fractures did not demonstrate any beneficial effect in time to union or time to full weight-bearing when compared to non-augmented fixation. Due to this lack of efficacy, the study was terminated early.
Come influenzerà l'assistenza ai miei pazienti?
The use of rhBMP-2 with a calcium phosphate matrix carrier in fixation of closed tibial fractures is not suggested based on the findings of this research. Post hoc review suggested that bioavailability of the test article may have been reduced due to changes in its preparation from the phase I to phase II/III trial. Further study may be warranted for optimizing rhBMP-2 preparations and delivery systems.
