About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Role of Power Doppler Sonography in the Diagnosis of Hemophilic Joint Disease

The purpose of this study is to see whether power Doppler sonography (PDS) can be used to diagnose synovitis in patients with inherited bleeding disorders.

Read the detailed description

Aim #1 - To determine if PDS can be used to diagnose synovial hypertrophy and inflammation in joint disease associated with inherited bleeding disorders. MRI will be used as a reference standard.

Aim #2 - To determine if PDS can be used to assess therapeutic response to treatment.

Aim #3 - To determine if PDS can be used as a screening tool for diagnosing early synovitis.

Being tested
Power Doppler Sonography, MRI
Keywords
Hemophilia, Factor Deficiency, synovitis, sonogram

What participants receive

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

  • Power Doppler SonographyProcedure or surgery

    Power Doppler with gray-scale sonography is used to detect and quantify alterations in vascularity inside knee, elbow and ankle joints.

  • MRIProcedure or surgery

    Magnetic Resonance Imaging with intravenous gadolinium contrast will be done using a standardized protocol, including a spin echo T2 weighted image and gradient echo images.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and power Doppler sonograms on patients with target joint

    Measured: Up to 1 month

  2. Evaluation of PDS on patients with target joints pre and post synovectomy to assess response to therapeutic intervention

    Measured: 1. day of synovectomy; 2. 6 months post synovectomy.

  3. Evaluation of PDS on patients with at least 2 joint bleeds to diagnose early synovitis

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Power Doppler Sonography and MRI in people with Inherited Bleeding Disorders, run by New York Presbyterian Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 10 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 1 Jul 2010. 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 United States. 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?

Comparison of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and power Doppler sonograms on patients with target joint (time frame: Up to 1 month). 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 1 Jul 2010.
