Trial summary

This trial will evaluate the 36mm or greater metal head on metal hip system and compare it to the 32mm or 28mm metal head on polyethylene (liner) hip system in patients receiving a primary cementless total hip replacement. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 65 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male and non-pregnant female subjects 65 years of age or older
  • Subjects undergoing cementless hip arthroplasty. If a press fit metal articulation acetabulum is not possible; the modular cup system will be utilized with screw fixation and a metal head of the greatest diameter deemed appropriate and safe for the patient will be utilized.(At the discretion of the surgeon). The cup in this situation may have a metal or poly articulation. The patient will be followed as an intent to treat (the patient will be evaluated and included in the group as randomized)
  • Subjects with, but not limited to, original diagnoses of osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, congenital dysplasia of the hip, ankylosing spondylitis, posttraumatic arthritis, and traumatic injury to the hip joint.
  • Subjects who are able and willing to understand the conditions of informed consent, to participate in the study according to the protocol for the length of the expected term of follow-up, and to follow their physician's directions.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects undergoing hip arthroplasty using a cemented femoral component and/or a bipolar prosthesis.
  • Subjects with gross obesity, >45% over ideal body weight for age and height. Refer to Appendix A, Obesity Table.
  • Subjects with active infections.
  • Subjects with malignancy in the area of the involved hip joint.
  • Subjects with a neuromuscular deficit that interferes with the subject's ability to limit weight bearing or places an extreme load on the implant during the healing period.
  • Subjects with a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia

  • Female subjects who are pregnant or may be pregnant.
  • Subjects whom, as judged by the surgeon, are not capable of understanding the informed consent or the requirements of the protocol, or are reasonably unlikely to be compliant with the prescribed postoperative routine and the follow-up evaluation schedule.
  • Subjects who have a known sensitivity to device materials.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Metal on Metal Hip System and Highly Cross Linked Polyethylene cup System in people with Osteoarthritis and Avascular Necrosis, run by Nova Scotia Health Authority.

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 9 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 15 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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: Components were recalled by Depuy). 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?

Revision Rate (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 15 May 2015.
