Trial summary

The study of this study is to evaluate the age influence on cortical bone strength properties by two methods:HR-pQCT (HighResolution-peripheral quantitativeComputedTomography) and ultrasound. The main objective consists in the evaluation of the age influence on cortical thickness at 1/3 distal radius measured by US. Read more about this study

About this study

The study of this study is to evaluate the age influence on cortical bone strength properties by two methods:HR-pQCT (HighResolution-peripheral quantitativeComputedTomography) and ultrasound. The main objective consists in the evaluation of the age influence on cortical thickness at 1/3 distal radius measured by US.

Read the detailed description

The study of this study is to evaluate the age influence on cortical bone by two methods: HR-pQCT and ultrasound.

84 patients will be measured. The cohort will be:

  • 21 women less than 70
  • 21 women more than 70
  • 21 men less than 70
  • 21 men more than 70 Measurement will be performed at radius and at tibia (ultra-distal and distal). For all the sites one measurement will be performed by HR-pQCT to get reference values of thickness and BMDs. For the distal positions and additional measurement will be performed by an innovative ultrasound device that estimates cortical thickness and porosity.

The participation to the study implies only a participation of one hour from the patient (30min for HR-pQCT measurements, 30 min for US).

The main objectives consist in :

  • evaluating the age influence on cortical thickness at 1/3 distal radius measured by US
  • evaluating the age influence on cortical thickness at distal tibia measured by US
  • comparing porosities values measured by US to vBMD obtained by HR-pQCT
  • comparing cortical thickness values measured by HR-pQCT at 1/3 distal radius position to ultra-distal radus position and to the tibia
  • comparing vBMD values measured by HRpQCT at 1/3 distal radius position to ultra-distal radius position and to the tibia

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cortical Bone Erosion, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 27 Sep 2021. 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. 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: Difficulty of recruitment due to COVID-19). 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?

Cortical parameters measurement (time frame: Inclusion time). 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 NCT03453242, 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 27 Sep 2021.
