About this study

Official title: Evaluation and Clinical Impact of Serum and Blood Metal Ion Levels in Patients With an Endoprosthesis

The purpose of this research is to investigate whether patients who previously had endoprosthesis surgery experience memory, thinking, or heart problems. It will also help determine how often these problems occur.

Read the detailed description

At your first visit you will be asked to do the following:

  1. Sign the consent document.
  2. Patient Interview: An interview will be conducted by the study coordinator on the research team. They will ask your past surgical history, health history, medications, and your cognition.
  3. Informant Interview: A close friend, spouse of relative of you will be interviewed about your day-day cognition.
  4. Memory Interview: You will be evaluated on your memory and thinking skills three total times. One to determine baseline, and then repeated at one year and two years. You will answer questions that evaluate various thinking abilities such as concentration, memory, reasoning, and learning.
  5. Blood Draw: You will have a blood draw three times (4.2-5 tablespoons) to determine your baseline, 1 year, and 2 year research results.

6: Echocardiogram: You will be asked to have three echocardiograms. One to determine baseline, and then repeated at one year and two years.

What participants receive

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

  • QuestionnairesBehavioural

    The patient and an informant will be asked to complete a questionnaire about his or hers current and past physical thinking abilities.

  • InterviewsBehavioural

    Cognition and memory interviews will take place with the patient.

  • Blood TestDiagnostic test

    Three blood draws will occur to assess patients immune response, metal levels, and cardiac health.

  • EchocardiogramDiagnostic test

    Each echocardiogram takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes. This test uses sound waves to look at your heart. The person doing the test will press on your chest with a machine to obtain the pictures. The pressure may be uncomfortable. The echocardiogram will involve an image enhancement agent infusion to obtain better images.

What is being measured

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

  1. Echo - Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

    The echocardiogram will measure changes in LV ejection fraction as a percent.

    Measured: Echo's will be taken at baseline, 1 year, and 2 years

  2. Echo - Left Ventricular Mass

    The echocardiogram will measure changes in LV Mass in grams.

    Measured: Echo's will be taken at baseline, 1 year, and 2 years

  3. Echo - Heart Hypertrophy

    The echocardiogram will measure changes in concentric or eccentric hypertrophy in centimeters.

    Measured: Echo's will be taken at baseline, 1 year, and 2 years

  4. Cobalt Metal Levels

    The change in cobalt blood ion levels will be measured in ng/mL.

    Measured: Cobalt level will be measured at baseline, 1 year, and 2 years

  5. Chromium Metal Levels

    The change in chromium blood ion levels will be measured in ng/mL.

    Measured: Chromium level will be measured at baseline, 1 year, and 2 years

  6. Titanium Metal Levels

    The change in titanium blood ion levels will be measured in ng/mL.

    Measured: Titanium level will be measured at baseline, 1 year, and 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Psychometrist Testing - Intelligence Score

    The change in participants' intelligence will be measured using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. The scale is based of scores of 50 to 150. The higher the score the better the outcome. The average outcome will be a score of 100.

    Measured: Testing will occur at baseline, 1 year, and 2 years.

  2. Psychometrist Testing - Memory Score

    The change in participants' memory will be measured using the Wechsler Adult Memory Scale. The scale is based of scores of 50 to 150. The higher the score the better the outcome. The average outcome will be a score of 100.

    Measured: Testing will occur at baseline, 1 year, and 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bone Tumor and Cancer of Bone, 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 1 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2024. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Echo - Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (time frame: Echo's will be taken at baseline, 1 year, and 2 years). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 Dec 2024.
