About this study

Official title: A Pivotal Study Comparing Two Injections of MONOVISC to Two Injections of Saline in Patients With Osteoarthritis of the Hip

This study is being done to determine the effectiveness of MONOVISC for the relief of pain and symptoms of osteoarthritis of the hip. Specifically, the study will determine if MONOVISC is more effective than a placebo treatment when delivered as intra-articular injections (injected directly into the hip joint). In this case, the placebo will be a dilute solution of salt water (saline).

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is determine whether two intra-articular injections of MONOVISC, separated by 1 month, are superior to two intra-articular injections of physiologic saline, separated by 1 month, in relieving hip osteoarthritis pain, as determined by reduction in walking pain change from baseline.

Being tested
MONOVISC, Saline

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Walking Pain as Measured by Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) A1 Score at Day 180

    The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) is widely used in the evaluation of Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis. Walking Pain Score is measured by question A1 on the WOMAC 3.1 Index. The WOMAC questionnaire used in this study was administered in the Numerical rating scale (NRS) format. Question A1 on the WOMAC 3.1 Index measures the amount of pain that a participant has when walking on a flat surface. It is one question that is collected on a scale from 0 to 10 where a score of 0 indicates no pain and a score of 10 indicates extreme pain.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 180

Secondary outcomes (1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing MONOVISC and Saline in people with Osteoarthritis of the Hip, run by DePuy Mitek at 27 sites in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 30 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 1 Dec 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 27 sites in United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Mar 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Walking Pain as Measured by Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) A1 Score at Day 180 (time frame: Baseline and Day 180). 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 1 Dec 2021.
