About this study

Official title: Double Blind, Phase I, Randomized, Parallel Group Study of Hip Decompression Compared to Hip Decompression Supplemented at the Point of Care With Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells for Bilateral Pre-Collapse Femoral Head Osteonecrosis

This randomized clinical trial aims to determine if cells from a patient's own adipose tissue is safe and capable of helping regenerate the femoral head in patients with osteonecrosis. The standard of care is known as hip decompression which simply removes dead tissue from the femoral head and creates a new cavity to be filled in by healthy bone. This trial will use hip decompression in one hip and hip decompression supplemented with adipose derived regenerative cells in patients with osteonecrosis in both of their hips.

Read the detailed description

Preclinical and clinical data suggest that ADRC may serve as a safe and efficacious adjuvant agent for the treatment of ON. However, to the authors knowledge no RCT in the United States has formally evaluated safety of ADRC in the setting of ON. Therefore, the primary endeavor of this Phase I pilot study will be to evaluate safety of ADRC for pre-collapse ON of the femoral head.

The Celution 800/GP System (Cytori Therapeutics, San Diego, USA) for preparation of ADRC from lipoaspirate is currently being evaluated in FDA approved clinical trials including an orthopedic indication (osteoarthritis). In addition, the device has a CE Mark registration in Europe and Class I approval in Japan. As such, it serves as a known platform that produces a clinical grade product for human use. Other devices on the market process lipoaspirate by either mechanical, washing, or centrifugation methods; however, the remaining components of original adipose tissue are significant and impair the regenerative process. Derivation of relatively pure ADRC has been achieved by few devices and the Cytori Celution 800/GP System is the only one to our knowledge with a sufficient safety and efficacy track record enabling multiple investigational device exemption (IDE) approvals. The reagent used (Celase®) is of a clinical and pharmacologic grade for use in humans. The production of Celase is free of mammalian products.

What participants receive

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

  • Lactated RingersOther

    Approximately 5 mls of lactated ringers will be injected after decompression into the hip that does not receive adipose derived regenerative cells.

  • The Celution 800/GP System (Cytori Therapeutics)Device

    The Celution 800/GP System will be used for the preparation of adipose derived regenerative cells from lipoaspirate. The adipose derived regenerative cells will then be transplanted into the hip, post decompression.

  • Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells (ADRC)Biological

    Subjects in this arm will have Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells (ADRC)harvested through autologous liposuction and processed outside the body using The Celution 800/GP System (Cytori Therapeutics) before having approximately 5 mls. of ADRCs transplanted into the femoral head after standard of care hip decompression.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety, as measured by the type and number of serious adverse events related to Hip Decompression supplemented with autologous ADRC transplantation compared to Hip Decompression alone.

    Serious adverse events will only include those that are determined to be related to the transplantation of ADRC and/or Hip Decompression.

    Measured: End of the study (24 months)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. In vitro laboratory metrics as measured by flow analysis as well as proliferation and differentiation potential of adipose and bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).

    These immunophenotypic characterizations will be correlated with MRI imaging data and patient reported outcomes.

    Measured: Preoperative, Month 12, and Month 24

  2. Initial signals of efficacy as measured by MRI lesion volume quantification and patient reported outcome metrics.

    Preoperative MRI, 1 and 2 year postoperative MRI osteonecrotic lesion volume size compared to quality of life and hip function scores.

    The five subscales include 10 items on pain, 5 items for symptoms (3 symptoms items, 2 stiffness items) 17 items for activities for daily living (ADLs), 4 items for sports and recreations, and 4 items for hip related quality of life.

    Scoring: Each question contains five answer choices ranging from never (score of 0) to extreme (score of 4). A normalized score is calculated for each subscale with 0 indicating extreme symptoms and 100 representing no symptoms.

    Measured: Preoperative, Month 12, and Month 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Lactated Ringers, The Celution 800/GP System (Cytori Therapeutics) and Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells (ADRC) in people with 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 8 inclusion and 28 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 11 Jan 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Logistical delays from device manufacturer due to COVID). 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?

Safety, as measured by the type and number of serious adverse events related to Hip Decompression supplemented with autologous ADRC transplantation compared to Hip Decompression alone. (time frame: End of the study (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 11 Jan 2022.
