Study summary

This is a retrospective chart review performed at multiple clinics aimed at providing real-world evidence of the use and safety of the P4HB scaffold. Data on patient demographics, relevant medical history, product and procedure used, product safety, and outcome measures will be collected as available.

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective chart review performed at multiple clinics aimed at providing real-world evidence of the use and safety of P4HB products. Adults greater than or equal to 18 years old who have undergone a plastic or reconstructive surgical procedure with P4HB on or after January 1, 2014, will be identified using the centers' medical records. Data on patient demographics, relevant medical history, product and procedure used, product safety, and subjective and objective outcome measures will be collected. The data may be used in publication and education and may inform future product development including future clinical trials. The trial will include all consecutive participants who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria with the goal of having up to 5000 participants. A screening log will be kept at the site of all participants screened regardless of whether or not they were included in the analysis. Participants will be entered into the database based on the consecutive group meeting enrollment criteria.

The overall purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of the use and safety of treatments on a historic collection basis. Hypothesis testing is not necessary for the statistical analyses of the generated data. Broad inclusion criteria with few exclusion criteria are utilized so as to avoid censoring historic real-world use of the device.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Real-world utilization of P4HB scaffold

    To obtain data from real-world utilization of P4HB scaffolds in order to evaluate how and why these products are being used and to assess the safety of these products

    Time frame: Anticipated 18 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Surgeon/patient satisfaction

    To evaluate surgeon/patient satisfaction with the P4HB scaffold

    Time frame: Anticipated 18 months

Other outcomes

  1. Use of Product

    Type of procedure, reason for procedure, surgical approach tissue assessment, use of other medical devices, concomitant procedures, use of fat grafting

    Time frame: Anticipated 18 months

  2. Safety - adverse and serious adverse events

    Adverse events and serious adverse events related to the study device or procedure, or occurring at procedure anatomy. Medications used in treatment of adverse events

    Time frame: Anticipated 18 months

  3. Follow up visits

    Assessment of healing, menopausal status, Weight, BMI

    Time frame: Anticipated 18 months

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 4, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
