What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Functional / Clinical Score of 10 points or more

    Standardized and objective scoring system to rate patient's functional abilities

    Measured: 60 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Numeric pain intensity scale (0-10)

    VAS scoring system

    Measured: 60 months

  2. Disease progression defined as progression to a fractural stage of osteonecrosis

    Radiographic signals

    Measured: 60 months

  3. Reoperation rate

    Need for further surgery or hip replacement

    Measured: 60 months

  4. Radiological progression

    Radiological progression is defined according to the development of the Ficat- and Steinberg-staging system of osteonecrosis. It is based on radiological findings in X-Ray and MRI scans, respectively, and it is useful in predicting outcomes.

    Measured: 60 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Autologous bone marrow stem cell graft in people with Avascular Necrosis of Bone and Sickle Cell Disease, run by Federal University of Bahia.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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 20 Nov 2017. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

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?

Change in Functional / Clinical Score of 10 points or more (time frame: 60 months). 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 NCT02448121, which also lists 5 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 20 Nov 2017.
