Trial summary

Hip fracture is a common and severe disease in elderly patients. The question of the study is whether elderly patients with severe osteopenia have significantly lower levels of the collagen-binding protein Hsp47 than relatively mobile patients due to advanced immobility before the fracture, and whether they… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Is Thromboprotection Preserved in Elderly Ostopenic Patients Who Are Severly Immobilized Before Hip Fracture?

Hip fracture is a common and severe disease in elderly patients. The question of the study is whether elderly patients with severe osteopenia have significantly lower levels of the collagen-binding protein Hsp47 than relatively mobile patients due to advanced immobility before the fracture, and whether they participants have a similar risk of VTE to the normal population despite having had a hip fracture and surgery.

Read the detailed description

In this study, the investigators aimed to prospectively measure the Hsp 47 gene expression levels in patients scheduled for surgery due to intertrochanteric femur fracture and healthy volunteers in the same age group and compare the results with the literature.

Also the complications prior or after surgery will be compared.

What is being measured

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

  1. HSP 47

    HSP 47 (SERPİNH1, ROCK1) gene expression analysis

    Measured: Gene expression analysis will be performed once samples are collected from all participants.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Thromboembolie

    Thromboembolic events

    Measured: from fracture occur up to one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Gene Expression Analysis in people with Hip Fracture of Intertrochanteric Type and Thromboembolic Event, run by Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 6 inclusion and 9 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 2025. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

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?

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?

HSP 47 (time frame: Gene expression analysis will be performed once samples are collected from all participants.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06959017, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Jun 2025.
