Trial summary

This observational study seeks to identify and validate novel soluble biomarkers (within blood, synovial fluid, urine) which contribute to the prognostic assessment of an individual with an acute knee injury, a group of individuals in which ~50% will progress to symptomatic radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA).

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 16 to 50 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Study population: This is a non-intervention cohort study of subjects who have recently sustained a structural knee injury. Individuals are identified from the practice of a collaborating surgeon (AW) at a number of London sites, several of which are within private practice. Because of the practice of the surgeon investigator, a large number will be sporting professionals, or playing amateur sport at a high level.

Who may be able to join

  • Clinically significant acute knee injury within 8 weeks of recruitment
  • Aged 16-50
  • Knee effusion, evident clinically or by MRI
  • Evidence on MRI of structural injury (from list of relevant injuries)
  • Informed written consent

Who cannot join

  • Knee injured more than 8 weeks prior to recruitment
  • Pre-existing advanced radiographic OA (Kellgren Lawrence (KL) grade 3-4) of same side knee at baseline
  • Known history of inflammatory/septic arthritis of same side knee
  • Knee replacement - previous or planned within 2 years of study start
  • Active other (treated) inflammatory disease or infection
  • Positive pregnancy test

  • Not consenting, or contraindication to provide blood samples:
  • Bilateral mastectomy
  • Bilateral fistulae for renal dialysis
  • Unable to give informed written consent in English

About this study

Official title: Identification of Prognostic Biomarkers for Osteoarthritis Risk Following Knee Injury: the Knee Injury Cohort @ the Kennedy Study

This observational study seeks to identify and validate novel soluble biomarkers (within blood, synovial fluid, urine) which contribute to the prognostic assessment of an individual with an acute knee injury, a group of individuals in which ~50% will progress to symptomatic radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA).

150 individuals will be followed over 5 years with clinical assessment including validated questionnaires, biological sampling and radiological imaging (X ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoarthritis and Injury, run by University of Oxford at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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 3 May 2018. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

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 from baseline in Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)-4 score at 2 years (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT02667756, 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 3 May 2018.
