About this study

Official title: Can Stem Cells Predict Orthopaedic Outcomes? The Correlation of Bone Density Findings Post Total Hip Arthoplasty With Stem Cell Assays Obtaned at Time of Surgery

This is a pilot study to provide preliminary data of the association between bone mineral denity adjacent to acetabular implants, as measured by quanitative computed tomography (QCT), at least 2 years post Total Hip Arthoplasty (THA) surgery with Mesechymal stem cell assays, obtained at time of surgery, and to begin to evaluate if stem cells can predict orthopaedic surgical outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Subjects who have undergone a THA and who previously consented to "Stem Cell Quality Assays: Correlation with Aging/Health" study which used excess bone marrow and blood samples to complete stem cell assay labs will be invited back at least 2 years post THA to complete bilateral hip x-rays, if not already completed as part of routine medical follow up plus a QCT bone density testing and to complete a questionnaire regarding smoking, alcohol and exercise history along with recording BMIs.

This ability to identify older individuals with compromised stem cell function could offer opportunities to develop and test new preventative and therapeutic strategies to improve outcomes.

Stem cell & quanitative computed tomography QCT testingThe association between bone mineral denity adjacent to acetabular implants, as measured by quanitative computed tomography (QCT), at least 2 years post Total Hip Arthoplasty (THA) surgery and mesechymal stem cell assays, obtained at time of surgery, will evaluate if stem cells can predict orthopaedic surgical outcomes. Detailed Description: Subjects who have undergone a THA and who previously consented to "Stem Cell Quality Assays: Correlation with Aging/Health" study which used excess bone marrow and blood samples to complete stem cell assay labs will be invited back at least 2 years post THA to complete bilateral hip x-rays, if not already completed as part of routine medical follow up plus a QCT bone density testing and to complete a questionnaire regarding smoking, alcohol and exercise history along with recording BMIs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Can Stem Cells Predict Orthopaedic Outcomes?

    Bone mineral density adjacent to acetabular implants will be evaluated using QCT which can show early bony changes, which can provide information about the quality of implant fixation and surrounding bone adaption. X-rays will evaluate component loosening, wear, alignmet and osteolytis. Patient characteristics will be summarized using descriptive statistics. Spearman correlation coefficients will be used to assess the association of Mesenchymal stem cell assays and bone density findings.

    Measured: Enrollment expected to begin June 2011and this pilot study is expected to be completed by May 2012.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hip Arthroplasty, run by University of Nebraska 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 1 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 6 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 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?

Can Stem Cells Predict Orthopaedic Outcomes? (time frame: Enrollment expected to begin June 2011and this pilot study is expected to be completed by May 2012.). 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 6 Sep 2023.
