Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 50 to 81 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patient with knee osteoarthritis and synovial effusion who attende to a Rheumatologist unit for this problem. We made the visit and anonimously we kept the results of examination and ultrasonography in our database and we freezed synovial fluid. Now we will determine the adipocytokines and classic inflammatory parameters in this synovial fluid

Who may be able to join

  • aged 50 to 81
  • primary osteoarthritis of the knee
  • synovial effusion in examination
  • patient who have the results in our database

Who cannot join

  • any other rheumatic conditions as rheumatoid arthritis or another inflammatory disease
  • secondary knee osteoarthritis
  • history of knee surgery
  • any conditions that at investigator criteria exclude the patient from study procedures

About this study

Official title: Determination of Adipocytokine in Synovial Fluid of Osteoarthritis Patients With Joint Pain and Effusion

The purpose of this study is to determine the concentration of different adipocytokine (adiponectin, leptin, resistin, visfatin, osteopontin) and an inflammation classic markers as Interleukine 1 beta, tumor necrosis alfa, interleukine 6 and high sensibility reactive c protein in the synovial fluid of knee osteoarthritis patients, and compare with the inflammation detected with ultrasonography evaluation of the joint. In last years, some studies appeared focusing on the role of adipocytokines in osteoarthritis and they correlated adipocytokines with cartilage degradation and x-ray degree; in our study we will focused in the importance of adipocytokines in the inflammatory changes more than in joint destruction.

What participants receive

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

  • arthrocentesisOther

    The made a diagnostic arthrocentesis to all patient we included

  • ultrasonography of the kneeOther

    We explored the affected knee with an ultrasound explanation in order to describe inflammatory changes based on standard examination.

Study groups in NCT01993342
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Inflammatory knee osteoarthritisWe recruited patients with osteoarthritis and synovial effusion to diagnostic the effusion and to confirm that this this synovial fluid had mechanical characteristics. Now we are going to determine the adipocytokines and traditional parameters of inflammation in this synovial fluid to correlate it, and we will associate it with the ultrasound explanation of the knee that we have in our database.
Receives: Other: arthrocentesis; Other: ultrasonography of the knee

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination of adipocytokine levels (adiponectin, leptin, resistin, visfatin, osteopontin) in synovial fluid

    We have all the synovial fluid freeze, so now we have to determine the levels of everyone.

    Measured: We determine adipocytoquines in one month, all patients in the same determination kit

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Knee inflammation parameters detected by ultrasonography

    We performed the ultrasonography evaluation at the same time than the visit were realized, and we have the results in a data base, so we will wait for the adipocytokine results and we will compare with ultrasound evaluation

    Measured: three months

  2. To determine additional classic parameters of inflammation in synovial fluid as Interleukine 1 beta, Interleukine 6 and tumor necrosis factor alfa

    We will use classic inflammation parameters to compare with adipocytokine levels

    Measured: We determine this inflammatory parameters in one month in all patient at the same time

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoarthritis, run by Parc Taulí Hospital Universitari at 1 site in Spain.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 25 Nov 2013. 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 Spain. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Joan Calvet, Dr (0034 937231010 ext. 24065, joan.calvet.fontova@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determination of adipocytokine levels (adiponectin, leptin, resistin, visfatin, osteopontin) in synovial fluid (time frame: We determine adipocytoquines in one month, all patients in the same determination kit). 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 25 Nov 2013.
