Trial summary

Femoral heads will be collected at University Hospital (London, ON, Canada) from individuals with type-2 diabetes, obesity, and no T2D/no obesity controls. The femoral head will be taken to the Robarts Research Institute (London, ON, Canada) for lineage-restricted progenitor cell expansion and analyses. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Harvest of Human Bone Marrow-Derived Progenitor Cells During Total Hip Arthroplasty for Use in Regenerative Medicine Applications for Blood Vessel and Islet Regeneration.

Femoral heads will be collected at University Hospital (London, ON, Canada) from individuals with type-2 diabetes, obesity, and no T2D/no obesity controls. The femoral head will be taken to the Robarts Research Institute (London, ON, Canada) for lineage-restricted progenitor cell expansion and analyses. There the femoral heads will be used to isolate three stem cell types - Multipotent Stromal Cells, Endothelial Colony Forming Cells, and Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells. The yield and cell surface markers expressed on these cells will be measured using flow cytometry. These cell types will then undergo further analyses of the secretome, tubule forming assays, vascular regenerative cell exhaustion assays, and will be transplanted into immune deficient mice with with femoral artery ligation. These experiments are to assess the differences in function and expression of these cell types between individuals with type-2 diabetes and/or obesity and/or healthy controls.

Read the detailed description

Femoral Heads will be extracted by Dr. Lanting (Department of Surgery - Division of Orthopaedics) at University Hospital, they will then be transferred to Robarts Research Institute where they will undergo cell isolation and analyses. Multipotent Stromal Cells, Endothelial Colony Forming Cells, and Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells will be extracted from the bone marrow of the femoral heads. These cells will be used to characterize the difference in regenerative progenitor cell number and potential dysfunction in individuals with type 2 diabetes and/or obesity compared to controls. Analysis will include growth kinetics, flow cytometry, Bio Luminescent Imaging and Laser Doppler Perfusion Imaging using a FAL mouse model.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cell Yield

    Quantification of how many cells are harvested from each femoral head prior to expansion in vitro

    Measured: Within 24 hours of surgery

  2. Cellular Growth Kinetics

    Quantification of the Growth Kinetics of each cell type during in vitro cell culture post cell harvest.

    Measured: Time of cell harvest to 8 weeks post harvest

  3. Cellular Phenotype

    Analysis via flow cytometry of the phenotype of each cell type and their respective surface markers that are involved in regenerative pathways.

    Measured: Time of cell harvest to 8 weeks post harvest

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hip Replacement in people with Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes, run by David Hess.

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 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact David A Hess, PhD (519.931.5777 ext. 24118, dhess3@uwo.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cell Yield (time frame: Within 24 hours of surgery). The study lists 3 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 15 Jan 2025.
