About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Safety and Feasibility of Bone Marrow Derived Autologous MSCs to Enhance Bone Healing in Patients With Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head

The purpose is to assess the safety and feasibility of cellular therapy derived from bone marrow, to help bone healing in patients with avascular necrosis of the hip.

Read the detailed description

To assess the safety and feasibility of an in situ single injection of a high dose of autologous bone marrow-derived, in vitro expanded Mesenchymal stem cells, and its contribution to the resolution of the early stages of avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Being tested
Cultured autologous Mesenchymal Cells

What participants receive

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

  • Cultured autologous Mesenchymal CellsBiological

    Cultured Mesenchymal Cells from bone marrow isolation, expanded under GMP protocol in associated facilities and introduced at the end of the appropriate forage up to the femoral head under fluoroscopic control.

What is being measured

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

  1. Complication rate

    Includes early local complication rate plus global complication rate, as the percentage of patients with local or general complications at 52 weeks.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. complication rate

    Local and general complication rate

    Measured: 6,12,24,104 weeks

  2. Progression of disease to the next stage

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Amount of necrotic bone in the femoral head in MRI

    Measured: 12 weeks and 52 weeks

  4. Pain (VAS)

    Measured: 6,12,24,52,104 weeks

  5. serum levels of bone turnover markers

    Measured: 12 and 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cultured autologous Mesenchymal Cells in people with Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head, run by Universidad Autonoma de Madrid at 6 sites in 4 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 26 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 14 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in France, Germany, Italy, 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Complication rate (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT02065167, 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 14 Oct 2021.
