Trial summary

Previous studies have shown an increase in the concentration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC's) in the setting of osteoarthritis of the knee and its correlation to severity. Researchers have shown that as there is an increase in the severity of the disease, the concentration of stem cells also increases. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Synovial Fluid of the Hip in Patients With Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head

Previous studies have shown an increase in the concentration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC's) in the setting of osteoarthritis of the knee and its correlation to severity. Researchers have shown that as there is an increase in the severity of the disease, the concentration of stem cells also increases. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is the same increase in stem cell concentration in patients with osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head.

Read the detailed description

Since the treatment of osteonecrosis is related to the severity of disease, namely articular cartilage collapse, the purpose of this study is to determine if the MSC concentration in synovial fluid can be correlated to disease stage. In order to do this the investigators will:

Milestone #1:

Determine the concentration of MSC's in the synovial fluid in patients with osteonecrosis. This work will be carried out utilizing FACS-based technique to synovial fluid stem cell sub-population.

Milestone #2:

Compare concentrations of MSC's in patients with pre collapse, post collapse osteonecrosis and "normal" hips. Patient-derived MSC will be quantified at the different stages of disease and assays will be performed in order to assess their viability. A control group will be selected in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoral/acetabular impingement (FAI). Since FAI does not affect the intraarticular environment of the hip, theoretically these patients would have a "normal" concentration of synovial stem cells.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02941666
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Collapse ON groupThis group will consist of patients who have concentrations of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in with post collapse osteonecrosis.
Pre-collapse groupThis group will consist of patients who have concentrations of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in with pre-collapse osteonecrosis.
FAI groupThis control group will be selected in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoral/acetabular impingement.

What is being measured

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

  1. The quantity of mesenchymal stem cells present in the synovial fluid of patients with precollapse ON of the femoral head and postcollapse ON of the femoral head compared to patients without intraarticular hip pathology.

    Previous studies have shown an increase in the concentration of MSCs in the setting of osteoarthritis of the knee and its correlation to severity. Researchers have shown that as there is an increase in the severity of the disease, the concentration of stem cells also increases. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is the same increase in stem cell concentration in patients with osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head. Since the treatment of osteonecrosis is related to the severity of disease, namely articular cartilage collapse, the purpose of this study is to determine if the MSC concentration in synovial fluid can be correlated to disease stage.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteonecrosis, run by Mayo Clinic 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 12 Dec 2022. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Study staff was unable to collect proper samples to meet study goals). 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?

The quantity of mesenchymal stem cells present in the synovial fluid of patients with precollapse ON of the femoral head and postcollapse ON of the femoral head compared to patients without intraarticular hip pathology. (time frame: 24 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 12 Dec 2022.
