About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the CHOndromodulating Effect of DIAcerein in Osteoarthritis of the Hip. ECHODIAH.

We carried out a 3 years, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial in patients with hip osteoarthritis in order to:

  • evaluate the ability of diacerein, an interleukin-1β inhibitor, to slow the progressive decrease in joint space width observed in patients with hip osteoarthritis
  • to investigate the potential structure-modifying effect of diacerein in patients with hip osteoarthritis

This study compare also after ten years the percentage of patients in each treatment group who require a hip replacement surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing diacerein in people with Hip Osteoarthritis, run by Laboratoires NEGMA at 25 sites in France.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in France. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Joint space measurement. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00451360, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Jul 2008.
