About this study

Official title: Accelerated Recovery for Total Knee Replacement Surgery With Preoperative Intravenous Iron Combined With Human Erythropoietin for Rapid Hematopoietic Mobilization to Prevent Postoperative Anemia: a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study

This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter research design to investigate the effectiveness and safety of a single-dose intravenous iron combined with HuEPO hematopoietic mobilization before surgery in patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty for the first time.

Read the detailed description

This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter research design to investigate the effectiveness and safety of a single-dose intravenous iron combined with HuEPO hematopoietic mobilization before surgery in patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty for the first time.

The study consists of a pilot trial and a formal trial. The pilot trial plans to enroll 20 subjects, with 10 subjects randomly assigned to the experimental group and 10 subjects to the control group. After the successful completion of the pilot trial, its safety and effectiveness, as determined by the investigators, hematologists, orthopedic surgeons, and statisticians, and the formal trial will be initiated. The relevant information and results will also be submitted to the ethics review committee. The formal trial plans to enroll 399 eligible subjects, with a random allocation ratio of 2:1 to the experimental group or the control group.

To ensure the safety of the subjects, the last subject in the pilot trial will be followed up for 21 days after surgery. The safety and effectiveness of the pilot trial results will be discussed by the investigators, hematologists, orthopedic surgeons, and statisticians before initiating the formal trial. The timing of medication, sample size, and visit points in the formal trial may be adjusted appropriately based on the results of the pilot trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ferric Derisomaltose Injection (Monoferric) and Human Erythropoietin Injection (EPIAO) and Basic Treatment in people with Total Knee Arthroplasty, run by West China Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 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 China. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zeyu Huang, MD, PhD (18980602287, 492385233@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hemoglobin concentration (time frame: postoperative 14±3 days). 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 22 Jun 2023.
