Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) Study of the Pitch-Patch for the Augmentation or Reinforcement of the Rotator Cuff
United Kingdom37 participantsStarted 2026-05
Plain-language summary
This is a clinical investigation study. It will verify the long-term safety and performance of the Pitch-Patch when implanted to reinforce partially repairable rotator cuff tears and used as described by the manufacturer's instructions.
The medical device in this study is already on the market and is manufactured by Xiros Ltd.
The Pitch-Patch is a single-use polyester prosthesis available in two sizes (30x20mm and 35x25mm). It is reinforced around the perimeter and around each eyelet to provide strength and stability to the device and repair.
The study will collect data on patients who meet the entry criteria and have received the device.
This is a single-armed study, meaning all patients will have a Pitch-Patch. The total length of the study is expected to be 3 years.
A minimum of 37 patients will be enrolled into the study. Patients will be enrolled at a study specific follow up visit 2-2.5 years after implant, and data for baseline, procedure, and other time points prior to 2 years (3month, 6month, and 1 year post surgery) will be collected retrospectively from medical records if available.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
