About this study

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between body composition and knee osteoarthritis, and effects of inflammatory, metabolic, and hormonal factors.

Read the detailed description

Banked serum and urine specimens obtained from NIA Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging (BLSA) participants with and without knee OA will be used to determine inflammatory, metabolic, bone and joint biomarkers in an observational, case-control study. This study will be limited to BLSA data and samples that have already been acquired and stored.

The specific aims of this study are to:

  1. Examine the association between prevalent radiographic osteoarthritis (OA), concurrently obtained inflammatory and metabolic mediator levels and change in bone density and bone markers over time subsequent to radiographic classification.
  2. Determine levels of inflammatory, metabolic and bone markers, and body composition when radiographic OA was absent, and examine their relationship to the development of radiographic knee OA.

Adjustments will be made for age, gender, body mass index and level of physical activity.

    Measured: 3 to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in other biomarkers: inflammatory, metabolic, bone, and joint

    Measured: 3 to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Knee Osteoarthritis, run by National Institute on Aging (NIA) at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 6 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. 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?

Changes in inflammatory marker c-reactive protein (time frame: 3 to 5 years). 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 NCT00771082, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 6 Jun 2012.
