About this study

The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical response of intra-articular platelet rich plasma (PRP) versus corticosteroid injection in patients affected by femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).

Read the detailed description

This study will determine if PRP treatment of FAI improves (i) patient reported outcome scores and (ii) hip functional stability compared to standard corticosteroid treatment and if PRP treatment of FAI reduces (i) radiographic and (ii) biochemical markers of joint inflammation and cartilage degradation.

Being tested
platelet-rich plasma injection, Kenalog 10 MG/ML Injectable Suspension
Medical subject headings
Femoracetabular Impingement

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Pain Score on the Visual Analog Scale

    VAS score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), Calculated as a Sub-score of the HOOS

    Measure Description: Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) is a hip-specific patient-reported outcome measure that has 5 subscales. Each subscale is score separately and ranges from 0-100, 100 = no disability, therefore higher values indicate a better outcome.

    The WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities) index is used to assess patients with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee and contains 24 questions, targeting areas of pain, stiffness and physical function. The WOMAC measures five items for pain (score range 0-20), two for stiffness (score range 0-8), and 17 for functional limitation (score range 0-68). WOMAC total is the sum of the three components and it ranges from 0 to 96 points, being 96 the worst outcome.

    The questions that are included in the WOMAC are a subgroup of questions that are included in the HOOS, so because of this the HOOS survey can also be used to calculate the WOMAC score for patients.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global Health Scale

    Global mental health measures mental health, quality of life, satisfaction with social activities and emotional problems. Global mental health scores range from 0 - 100, and higher scores indicate better mental health.

    Global physical health measures overall physical health, physical function, pain and fatigue. Physical global health scores range from 0 - 100, and higher scores indicate better physical health.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Serum Biomarker Analysis: IFN-g, IL-6, MCP-1, MIP-1b, IL-1b, TNF-alpha, Highly Sensitive CRP, COMP.

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Change in Kellgren-Lawrence Classification Scores

    Calculated from anterior-posterior (AP) pelvis radiographs. Kellgren Lawrence grading system was intended to be utilized analyzing pre-treatment and post-treatment radiographs of the knee. Grading is from 1 to 4 with 1 being minimal to mild disease and 4 being end stage joint disease.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing platelet-rich plasma injection and Kenalog 10 MG/ML Injectable Suspension in people with Femoroacetabular Impingement, run by University of Michigan at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 13 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 3 Apr 2020. 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 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Apr 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 Pain Score on the Visual Analog Scale (time frame: 12 months). 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 3 Apr 2020.
