Trial summary

This is a observation clinical trial. We are collecting the patients with glucocorticoid. They were divided into the experiment group (with femur head necrosis) and control group (without femur head necrosis).Then, we will analyse the patients' genome with genome-wide association study (GWAS).

About this study

Official title: Genome-wide Association Study Identified Susceptibility Loci for Glucocorticoid-induced Femur Head Necrosis in the Chinese Population

This is a observation clinical trial. We are collecting the patients with glucocorticoid. They were divided into the experiment group (with femur head necrosis) and control group (without femur head necrosis).Then, we will analyse the patients' genome with genome-wide association study (GWAS). Our purpose is to find susceptibility loci for glucocorticoid-induced femur head necrosis in the Chinese population.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02365077
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ControlThe patients of necrosis group was defined by a history of taking 1800 mg prednisolone or an equivalent over 4 week without the symptom of femur head necrosis after 1 year.
NecrosisThe patients of necrosis group was defined by a history of taking 1800 mg prednisolone or an equivalent over 4 week with the diagnosis of femur head necrosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Glucocorticoid-induced femur head necrosis

    Hip joint MRI for the patients with a history of taking 1800 mg prednisolone or an equivalent over 4 week.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Femur Head Necrosis and Adverse Effect of Glucocorticoids and Synthetic Analogues, run by Xijing Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 8 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 11 Mar 2021. 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 China. 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?

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?

Glucocorticoid-induced femur head necrosis (time frame: 1 year). 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 11 Mar 2021.
