Trial summary

Due to its prevalence worldwide, osteoporosis is considered a serious public health concern. The worldwide annual incidence of Osteoporotic fractures is approximately 2 million in the US only. Hip fracture is associated with serious disability and excess mortality. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Secondary Fracture Prevention in Patients Hospitalized for Hip Fracture: Adding the Metabolic Treatment to the Surgical One.

Due to its prevalence worldwide, osteoporosis is considered a serious public health concern. The worldwide annual incidence of Osteoporotic fractures is approximately 2 million in the US only.

Hip fracture is associated with serious disability and excess mortality. Studies have shown that an initial osteoporotic fracture is a major risk factor for a new fracture. An increased risk of 14.8% for a secondary hip fracture has been demonstrated in people that have already sustained a fracture in the past 4 years (In average). These data indicate the major opportunity afforded by secondary fracture prevention strategies.

By responding to the first fracture, we can reduce the incidence of second and subsequent fractures. However, even after longer medical follow-up according to regular standard of care, medical treatment and rehabilitation, the medical system has been unable to translate the eminent risk into an effective preventive treatment.

Read the detailed description

Study Objectives:

  • To create a treatment, follow up and rehabilitation protocol for patients who suffered from a hip fracture, in order to prevent a secondary fracture.
  • To demonstrate that a combined treatment from the Hip Fractures Clinic as well as the regular standard treatment and rehabilitation suggested by the Bone Health Clinic (both in addition to standard medication prescribed for osteoporosis) will result in a significant reduction of second and subsequent fractures.

Study Protocol:

  1. The study protocol will begin after the patients, who have been admitted with a primary hip fracture (of osteoporotic nature), were surgically treated (as customary standard of care).
  2. According to hospitalization standard protocol, the patients will be treated with vitamin D and calcium. For the first month the patient will be given a loading dose of 70,000 units. For the next months the patients will receive 50,000-80,000 units per month. In addition, the patient will be treated with Calcium Pills (Caltrate TAB 600mg, once a day)
  3. In addition to the clinical customary monitoring tests performed during the hospitalization, Biomarkers and safety assessment will be taken:
  4. Vitamin D
  5. Bone Markers - Bone markers will be taken three days after the patient was admitted, and one more time six months later (as part of follow up visit).
  6. Follow up visits after hospitalization due to surgery for primary hip fracture.
  7. Follow up visits at the Hip Fracture Clinic will occur in intervals of: six weeks, 3 months, 6 months and a year, since the patient had been released from hospitalization. At follow up visit, the patient will be assessed for physical examination, hip X-ray and the rehabilitation progression Questionnaire (HHS).
  8. Follow up visits at the Bone Health Clinic will occur between 6 weeks to 3 months since the patient had been released from hospitalization (as part of regular standard of care).
  9. A 3cc Serum sample will be taken with the purpose to serve on future studies and examine new markers such as bone markers SCLEROSTIN. There will be no further use of these samples. The samples will remain in deep freeze temperature (C˚70-).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing hip Xray in people with Hip Fractures and Osteoporotic Fractures, run by pninarotman at 1 site in Israel.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 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 Israel. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Pnina Rotman, MD (+972-9-7472671, Pnina.Rotman@clalit.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reduce number of incidents of secondary hip fracture. (time frame: 1 year and 6 months). 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 22 Aug 2014.
