About this study

Official title: Study of Anatomical and Imaging Characteristics in Relation With the Risk Factors Involved in KOA Progression

Clinical study regarding the incidence and severity of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in a certain area from South-Eastern Europe. Aim of the clinical study: to determine the KOA grade through X-Ray studies, to perform nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis to assess the KOA severity and to determine the level of significant parameters in the synovial liquid extracted from the patients presenting KOA.

Read the detailed description

Clinical study regarding the incidence and severity of KOA in a certain area from South-Eastern Europe. Clinical study on 85 patients out 373 participants that were screened, chosen based on inclusion/exclusion criteria.

Aim of the clinical study: to determine the KOA grade through X-Ray studies, to perform nuclear magnetic resonance (NRM) analysis to assess the KOA severity. Data corroboration of the KOA degree with the results of the blood samples analysis, looking for the influence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) parameters - high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol, triglycerides, glycemia, and then the body mass index (BMI). In the meantime, there is intended to associate the environment of origin of the patients from the trial group with the KOA incidence and severity. To determine the level of significant parameters in the synovial liquid extracted from the patients presenting KOA, analysis of the degradation products present in the synovial fluid of patients with KOA, such as free radicals, like reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and their influence on the severity of the pathology.

Being tested
Influence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) parameters on knee osteoarthritis (KOA) severity, the assesment of the reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species in knee synovial fluid, The influence of patellofemoral morphology in the radiological severity of knee osteoarthritis, The influence of ROS from the synovial fluid on the severity of KOA

What participants receive

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

  • Influence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) parameters on knee osteoarthritis (KOA) severity, the assesment of the reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species in knee synovial fluidOther

    Highlighting the influence of environment of origin on KOA incidence and corelated impact of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol, triglycerides and body mass index (BMI). The analytes from synovial fluid were determined by fluorometric method.

  • The influence of patellofemoral morphology in the radiological severity of knee osteoarthritisOther

    Highlighting the influence of distal femoral torsion angle, patellofemoral congruence angle and sulcus angle, in KOA severity under the influence of sex and age.

  • The influence of ROS from the synovial fluid on the severity of KOAOther

    Highlighting the influence of ROS from the synovial fluid in KOA severity under the influence of some biochemicals blood constants.

What is being measured

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

  1. The influence of metabolic syndrome parametres and environment of origin in KOA severity

    In this part of the study I included 85 patients for whom I measure the parameters of the metabolic syndrome: a high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglyceride, total cholesterol and body mass index (BMI) and I made the corelation of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) Kellgren-Lawrence radiological classification (KL). The formula form BMI was kg/ m2. I raported the influence of the environment of origin in relation to the severity of KOA, performing the statistical analysis of the obtained data, applied metod ANOVA, specific ordinal and binomial logistic regression models, p value <0,005. 95% confidence interval, without non-inferiority/equivalence test.

    Measured: up 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The influence of patellofemoral morphology in KOA severity

    I measured distal femoral torsion angle, patellofemoral congruence angle and sulcus angle for 43 patients who had NRM examinations and I raported their impact in KOA severity under the influence of sex and age.

    Measured: 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Influence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) parameters on knee osteoarthritis (KOA) severity, the assesment of the reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species in knee synovial fluid, The influence of patellofemoral morphology in the radiological severity of knee osteoarthritis and The influence of ROS from the synovial fluid on the severity of KOA in people with Knee Osteoarthritis, run by Iacob Czihac Emergency Military Clinical Hospital at 1 site in Romania.

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 1 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 3 Mar 2023. 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 Romania. 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?

The influence of metabolic syndrome parametres and environment of origin in KOA severity (time frame: up 2 weeks). 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 Mar 2023.
