Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18 years or older undergoing distal- or intermediate-lesion rotator cuff repair with intact eligibility criteria and no MRI contraindications.

Probably not a fit

Patients with contraindications to MRI, prior cuff revision surgery, or cases not meeting the footprint-complete repair criteria may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This interventional study examines whether the Regeneten bioinductive implant improves tendon healing after rotator cuff repair in adults with distal lesions. Eligible participants are adults 18 and older undergoing repair that fully covers the footprint, with specific tendon involvement and no MRI contraindications. The trial will assess tendon integrity by MRI one year after surgery, focusing on Sugaya class outcomes. It is conducted at a single Lyon, France center under the sponsor GCS Ramsay Santé pour l'Enseignement et la Recherche. The study leverages a randomized design to compare the added implant with standard repair.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience improved tendon healing and better shoulder function after surgery.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work in bioinductive implants has shown potential for improved tendon healing in rotator cuff repairs, though results vary by study.
