Scientific titleA multicentre open-label interventional study of patients with medial compartmental knee osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms treated with the KineSpring™ Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) System
Study acronymCOAST
Study hypothesisThe null hypothesis (H0) is that the Knee Society Score (KSS) for function derived from subjects treated with the KineSpring™ UKA System is inferior to a mean KSS for function of 80 which is widely reported in applicable literature:
H0: KSS less than or equal to 80 - d

The alternative hypothesis (H1) is that the KSS for function associated with KineSpring™ UKA System subjects is not inferior:
H1: KSS greater than 80 - d
Ethics approval(s)1. University of Ghent, Belgium, 07/10/2009
2. Leeds West Research Ethics Committee, UK, 21/10/2009
3. All other centers have received ethics approval before recruitment of the first participant
ConditionOsteoarthritis of the knee
InterventionArthroplasty of the knee. There is only one treatment arm as the results of this arm will be compared to a historical control. The surgical procedure lasts 1.5 to 2 hours. Enrolment will take place over 9 months with 24 year follow-up there after, so any one patient will participate in the study for a maximum of 24 months.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measureThe KSS Function score 6 months post-KineSpring™ UKA System surgery
Secondary outcome measures1. Procedural success (i.e., successful implantation of the device)
2. Treatment-emergent AEs at surgery, 2 and 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months (to include device malfunctions/unanticipated adverse device evaluations (UADEs)
3. Subject reported symptom severity changes from baseline measurement at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months in the following criteria:
3.1. KOOS score
3.2. EuroQol (EQ-5D)
3.3. Lysholm Knee Scale
3.4. Knee Specific Pain Scale
3.5. Investigator's assessment of patients' global status
3.6. Activity Profile
3.7. Patient Overall Treatment Evaluation
4. KSS knee and function scores at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months
5. KineSpring™ UKA System stability through evaluation of radiographic parameters at 3, 6, 12, and 24 month follow-up
Overall study start date30/09/2009
Overall study end date01/01/2014
