About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of Denosumab in Decreasing Periprosthetic Bone Loss in Patients With Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomised, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Clinical Trial

This study evaluates the effect of Denosumab in decreasing the periprosthetic bone resorption after Total Knee Arthroplasty compared to placebo in 60 patients (30 placebo and 30 Denosumab) within a year after surgery.

Read the detailed description

Periprosthetic bone resorption after Total Knee Arthroplasty occurs as a consequence of prosthetic implant on the bone. Some of this patients (up to 13%) develop an aseptic failure of the prosthesis needing revision surgery.

2 groups of patients are treated with Placebo and Denosumab in a double blind prospective trial. Densitometry, Knee society score (KSS), Western Ontario McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 (SF-36) were done in both groups at 0,3,6 and 12 months after surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Bone Mass index

    Bone Mass index in gr/cm3

    Measured: Change in densitometry before surgery (0) and at three (3) months after surgery

  2. Change in Bone Mass index

    Bone Mass index in gr/cm3

    Measured: Change in densitometry before surgery (0) and at six (6) months after surgery

  3. Change in Bone Mass index

    Bone Mass index in gr/cm3

    Measured: Change in densitometry before surgery (0) and at twelve (12) months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Quality of Life (WOMAC)

    Measured: WOMAC test before (0) and at three (3), six (6) and twelve (12) months after surgery

  2. Quality of life (SF-36)

    Measured: SF-36 test before (0) and at three (3), six (6) and twelve (12) months after surgery

  3. Kidney function

    Creatinine clearance

    Measured: Before surgery and at three, six and twelve months after surgery

  4. Liver function

    ALT, AST

    Measured: Before surgery and at three, six and twelve months after surgery

  5. Bone turnover markers

    Beta cross lap and Procollagen type 1 n-terminal propeptide (P1NP)

    Measured: At three, six and twelve months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Denosumab in people with Bone Resorption, run by Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Aug 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 Bone Mass index (time frame: Change in densitometry before surgery (0) and at three (3) months after surgery). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02760979, which also lists 3 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 11 Aug 2017.
