About this study
Official title: Effect of Zoledronic Acid in Primary Knee Osteoarthritis: a Randomized Controlled Trial
We try to find out the effect of zoledronic acid over pain of primary knee osteoarthritis and also functional status in a period of 6 months.
Read the detailed description
This will be a double blind placebo controlled randomized clinical trial at department of rheumatology, Bangabandhu Seikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) from January 2023 to December 2023. Total 92 primary knee OA patients will be enrolled by following the inclusion criteria of ages 50 years and above with primary knee OA informed written consent. Then randomization will be done into group A and group B following a randomization table, each consist of 46 patients. Consecutive sampling technique will be followed. Primary knee OA will be diagnosed on the basis of ACR clinical and radiological criteria. Relevant laboratory investigations will be done. Baseline pain status will be measured by Bangla version of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index (WOMAC), visual analog scale (VAS) and numerical rating scale (NRS) and quality of life will be measure by European quality of life scale (EQ-5D-5L). Then one group will receive single infusion of 5mg zoledronic acid and another group will receive the placebo. Each patient will be allowed take NSAIDs on requirement basis with documentation and follow non pharmacological treatment of OA. At the end of 6 months, again pain and functional status will be measured by WOMAC scale

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Zoledronic acid in people with Primary Osteoarthritis, run by Toufiqe-E-Ealahi at 1 site in Bangladesh.
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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 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 Bangladesh. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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 Nazrul islam, MD,FCPS (8801678112396, islam1nazrul@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Pain status (time frame: 0,3 and 6 month). 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 Sep 2023.
