Current or previous treatment: 21. Participation in another interventional clinical study within 3 months prior to screening 22. Any chronic intake of medication within one month that might affect bone metabolism or the quality of bone formation such as but not limited to bisphosphonates, teriparatide, systemic steroids, anticoagulant therapies, methotrexate and other immunosuppressant drugs or related immunotherapy 23. Previous (within 10 years) treatment with bisphosphonates 24. Current treatment with bone morphogenic protein or any other osteo-biologic intervention at the site of the tibial fracture

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is the proportion of subjects with a radiological success at Week 12 (Visit #4). A radiological success is defined as a subject with a RUST score above the threshold value predictive of a normal bone healing. The threshold value that would best predict bone healing is hypothesized to be between 6 and 8 (on a scale from 4 to 12). It will be selected at an interim analysis by an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) based on predefined decision rules. |

Other efficacy secondary endpoints: - Time to fracture healing: based on Investigator judgement, fracture healing is defined by a full weight bearing of the treated tibia, a lack of pain at palpation, and a radiological fracture union. Radiological fracture union is defined by a bone bridging on at least three of the four cortices and absence of fracture line - Time to clinical fracture healing: based on Investigator judgement with the condition of a full weight bearing of the treated tibia and a lack of pain at palpation - Time to radiological fracture healing: performed by Independent Radiologists with the condition of a radiological fracture union - Proportion of subjects with fracture healing at each follow-up visit - Proportion of subjects with clinical fracture healing at each follow-up visit - Proportion of subjects with radiological fracture healing at each follow-up visit - Proportion of subjects with full weight-bearing at each follow-up visit - Time to rescue intervention - Time to full weight-bearing - Proportion of subjects requiring rescue intervention within 12 months - Proportion of subjects diagnosed with NU at Month 9 (Visit #8) - Proportion of subjects diagnosed with DU at Week 20 (Visit #6) - Pain at palpation at each follow-up visit - Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) score at each follow-up visit - Short Form 12 (SF-12) score at each follow-up visit - Sensitivity and specificity of RUST threshold value at 6 months predictive of bone healing with regard to fracture outcome
Safety endpoints: - Any Adverse Event (AE)/Serious Adverse Event (SAE) - Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESI): o Suspected or confirmed acute or chronic infection related to the medical condition under evaluation o AEs possibly related to product failure o AEs suggesting infection related to implantation procedure o AEs suggesting hypersensitivity reaction o AEs suggesting ectopic bone formation |
