About this study

Official title: Single Injection of Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) to m. Gluteus Medius During Total Hip Arthroplasty Using Direct Lateral (Hardinge) Approach

Study purpose is to evaluate perioperative usefulness of Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery. The study is designed as a randomized double blinded study using saline as placebo. The measurement outcomes includes objective variables (MRI, dynamometer) as well as subjective measurements (Oxford Hip Score, Harris Hip Score).

Patients are assigned to two different groups, according to a randomization list. PRP (approximately 9ml from which 1ml is delivered to in-house laboratory for the measurement of platelet count) is obtained from venous blood and applied to m. gluteus medius during the closure of modified lateral approach (Hardinge).

Study participants are evaluated preoperatively by trained physiotherapist. After surgery, participants undergo clinical evaluation and imaged (MRI) at 3 and 12 months post-operative. In the same time points, strength, Harris Hip Score and Oxford Hip Score. At the end of the study, the nature of the injected substance is revealed to the patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. The decrease of T2 weighted signaling between PRP and placebo group

    Quantitative method of tissue healing

    Measured: Change from 3 months at 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Differences in Harris Hip Score points between PRP and placebo group

    Quality method of post-operative healing

    Measured: Change from 3 months at 12 months

  2. Comparison of hip abduction strengths between PRP and placebo group using dynamometer

    Quantitive method of abduction strengths

    Measured: Change from 3 months at 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PRP in people with Hip Osteoarthritis, run by Satakunta Central Hospital at 1 site in Finland.

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 1 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 19 Apr 2016. 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 Finland. 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.

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 Jussi Kosola, MD, PhD (+358442607366, jussi.kosola@helsinki.fi), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The decrease of T2 weighted signaling between PRP and placebo group (time frame: Change from 3 months at 12 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 NCT02607462, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Apr 2016.
