About this study

Official title: Can Risedronate Prevent Periprosthetic Bone Loss After Total Hip Arthroplasty. A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Study

Can risedronate given once weekly for 6 months prevent periprosthetic bone loss after uncemented total hip arthroplasty?

Read the detailed description

Periprosthetic bone loss after total hip arthroplasty is the main factor in limiting the longevity of implants used for treatment of osteoarthritis. Bone loss leads to implant destabilization. Bisphosphonates, given for approximately 6 months after THA man prevent this bone loss and lead to longer implant fixation and lower incidence of aseptic prosthesis loosening. We perform a clinical trial with risedronate to investigate if we can influence periprosthetic bone loss around a uncemented femoral stem.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Risedronate in people with Bone Loss, run by Danderyd Hospital at 1 site in Sweden.

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 5 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 19 Sep 2014. 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 Sweden. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 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?

Can risedronate given once weekly for 6 months prevent periprosthetic bone loss up to 2 years after uncemented total hip arthroplasty (time frame: 4 years). 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 19 Sep 2014.
