About this study
Official title: A New Treatment Modality For Skeletal Muscles Sports Injuries; Losartan Combination With PRP
The aim of this comparative study is to determine whether or not LOSARTAN with its anti-fibrotic action has an added effect when administrated with platelet rich plasma injection on skeletal muscle healing and on decreasing the fibrous scar after muscle injuries in comparison with the sole administration of platelet rich plasma.
- Conditions
- PRP, Losartan, Muscle Injury, Sport Injury
- Being tested
- Autologous platelets rich plasma, Autologous platelets rich plasma + oral LOSARTAN administration
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Autologous platelets rich plasmaBiological
Also called PRP
30 ml of venous blood were drawn from the participant by means of venipuncture. The collected blood was mixed with 3 ml anti-coagulant acid citrate dextrose in the centrifugation sterile tube. The blood sample was then centrifuged using the centrifugation machine. 3 ml of PRP from the buffy coat layer were loaded in a 5 ml syringe. After local sterilization and draping of the site of injection and under US guidance the hematoma was aspirated from the injury site and the freshly prepared PRP was injected.
Autologous platelets rich plasma + oral LOSARTAN administrationCombination product
Also called PRP + LOSARTAN
in addition to local PRP injection, 50 mg / day of LOSARTAN (Cozaar® 50 mg film-coated tablets) were administrated to the study group orally every morning from day 5 and till day 30 after injury.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 10 patients with acute skeletal muscle injury underwent PRP injection | Active comparator | Patients with acute skeletal muscle injury received a single ultrasound guided local PRP injection in the site of injury in day 1 or 2 of the injury. Receives: Biological: Autologous platelets rich plasma |
| 10 patients with acute skeletal muscle injury underwent PRP injection and oral LOSARTAN | Experimental | Patients with acute skeletal muscle injury received a single ultrasound guided local PRP injection in day 1 or 2 of injury in addition to administration of oral (50mg LOSARTAN /day) from day 5 to day 30. Receives: Combination Product: Autologous platelets rich plasma + oral LOSARTAN administration |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Autologous platelets rich plasma and Autologous platelets rich plasma + oral LOSARTAN administration in people with PRP and Losartan, run by Mostafa Hassanein, Msc.
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 3 inclusion and 11 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 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
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?
ecchymosis (time frame: 1or 2 days after injury). The study lists 52 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05827484, 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 Jul 2023.
