  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female subjects, aged between 18 and 65 years inclusive.
  • Subjects with current indications for standard metal-on-metal (MoM) hip resurfacing arthroplasty suitable for cementless fixation in the acetabulum. These include pain, deformity, and loss of function, which are not responsive to medical treatment.
  • Subjects who are able to give voluntary, written informed consent to participate in this investigation and from whom consent has been obtained.
  • Subjects, who, in the opinion of the Investigator, are able to understand this investigation, co-operate with the investigational procedures, and are willing to return to the hospital for all the required post-operative follow-ups.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects who, in the opinion of the Investigator, have an existing condition that would compromise their participation and follow-up in this study.
  • Subjects with proven significant osteoporosis and poor bone quality.
  • Subjects with compromised renal function.
  • Subjects with proven metal sensitivity.
  • Subjects with infectious, highly communicable diseases, which may limit follow-up i.e. active tuberculosis, hepatitis, immuno-compromised conditions, etc.
  • Women who are pregnant.

  • Subjects who are known drug or alcohol abusers or with psychological disorders that could affect follow-up care or treatment outcomes.
  • Subjects who have participated in a clinical study with an investigational product in the last 6 month(s).
  • Subjects who are currently, or have been in the last 12 months, participating in a clinical study which involves exposure to ionising radiation.

About this study

Official title: Prospective Multi-Centre, Uncontrolled, Post Marketing Surveillance Study to Monitor the Long-Term Performance of the DePuy ASR Hip System in Subjects With Suitable Indications for a Primary Resurfacing Hip Arthroplasty

The purpose of this study is to monitor the performance and determine the metal ion release of the DePuy ASR™ System in the treatment of patients with hip joint disease requiring hip resurfacing surgery. Patients who enter the study will be evaluated at regular intervals following hip surgery using patient, clinical and x-ray assessments. A subset of patients will also have blood samples taken at regular intervals to allow the metal ion levels to be determined and undergo scans to allow the bone mineral density of the bone surrounding the implant to be monitored.

DePuy decided to close this Study in 4Q 2009. The Study was terminated with effect from December 2010 to allow for the completion of the 5 year follow up assessments.

Please note that subsequent to this decision DePuy voluntarily recalled the ASR products on 24 August 2010. Additional information regarding this voluntary recall and the follow-up of patients affected by the recall can be found at the following links http://www.mhra.gov.uk/Publications/Safetywarnings/MedicalDeviceAlerts/CON079157 and http://www.depuy.com/countries_list.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing DePuy ASR Hip System in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis, run by DePuy International at 3 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Australia, Germany, United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: DePuy discontinued this product in 4Q2009. At the time of this decision DePuy reviewed all clinical studies for this product and decided to close this Study.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Kaplan-Meier survivorship calculated annually (time frame: Annually). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jun 2017.
