Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The objectives of this study are to further establish the safety of PLX-PAD local administration and to assess the efficacy of PLX-PAD single dose, intra-muscular injection for the regeneration of injured GM after THA.;Secondary Objective: The objectives of this study are to further establish the safety of PLX-PAD local administration and to assess the efficacy of PLX-PAD single dose, intra-muscular injection for the regeneration of injured GM after THA.;Primary end point(s): Efficacy Endpoints Primary Efficacy Endpoint at week 26 • Function of the GM assessing maximal contraction force ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The evaluation of this endpoints will be done on every visit (day 1 until week 12). Primary end-point: at week 26

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Safety Endpoints • Adverse events • Safety laboratory values and ECG findings • Immunological reaction Secondary Efficacy Endpoint at week 12 and 26 • Macrostructure of GM; MRI will be performed at baseline (1 day before treatment) and at 6, 12 and 26 weeks following the THA, both muscle volume and fatty degeneration will be analyzed. • Microstructure of GM; biopsy will be performed at baseline (day of treatment) and 12 weeks after the THA, muscle fiber diameter, amount of fibrosis and fiber type changes will be analyzed • Clinical outcome: o Trendelenburgs´ sign o Gait analysis o Harris Hip Score (HHS) o Quality of Life (SF36) o Oxford-12-Hip Score o Western Ontario and McMaster Universities’ Arthritis-Index (WOMAC) o Pain assessment (VAS);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At week 12 and 26.
