About this study

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of hyaline cartilage not associated with an infection or an inflammatory process that affects millions of people. The first symptoms usually appear from 40-50 years and at this point, conventional radiological tests provide diagnostic elements relatively late, poorly correlated with pain relief and providing no functional information. In this context, there is a real need for imaging techniques for early detection of osteoarthritic changes in a still reversible stage for faster support and MRI appears to be the tool of choice.

Conventional proton MRI sequences already allow improved detection possibilities compared to conventional radiology and CT arthrography supplanted. They nevertheless remain insufficient to identify incipient lesions or paradoxically to the point of too advanced lesions. Due to recent technological advances, exploration MRI other nuclei such as sodium is now possible. Quantitation of sodium in the cartilage by sodium MRI allow quantifying proteoglycan loss and ultimately a gradation osteoarthritic reached.

This project's main objective is to quantify the biochemical changes (sodium content) occurring at different stages of osteoarthritis defined by clinical algofunctional scores (Lequesne) and conventional radiographic scores (Kellgren and Lawrence).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRI Sodium ( 23Na ) in people with Osteoarthritis, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site in France.

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 31 Aug 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 France. 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 Jean Pierre MATTEI, MD (jean-pierre.mattei@ap-hm.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of sodium released in osteoarthritis patient vs healthy volunteers (time frame: 24 hours). 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 31 Aug 2016.
