Denosumab in Enhancement of Bone Bonding of Hip Prosthesis in Postmenopausal Women (ProliaHip)

April 26, 2018 updated by: Turku University Hospital

Denosumab in Enhancement of Bone Bonding of Hip Prosthesis in Postmenopausal Women: a Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study

This randomized clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy of an antiresorptive osteoporosis drug (denosumab) in prevention of periprosthetic bone loss and in promotion of implant osseointegration (bone bonding) in postmenopausal women after total hip replacement. The investigators assume that denosumab prevents periprosthetic bone loss and enhances bone bonding of the hip stem in postmenopausal women.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of denosumab on the biologic incorporation of cementless hip prosthesis. The study population consists of sixty-eight postmenopausal female patients, who are scheduled to have cementless total hip replacement (THA) for primary hip osteoarthritis. The patients will be randomly assigned to receive a subcutaneous injection of denosumab 60 mg or placebo four weeks before surgery and 22 weeks after surgery. The primary hypothesis is that denosumab is effective in preventing periprosthetic bone loss in the proximal femur as measured by DXA. The secondary hypothesis is that denosumab is effective in enhancement of bone bonding (osseointegration) of cementless femoral stems, as measured by model-based radiostereometric analysis.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

56 years to 81 years (Adult, Older Adult)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD)
Time Frame: 48 weeks
Periprosthetic BMD of the proximal femur will be measured according to seven Gruen zones and compared with the baseline value
48 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) of prosthesis stem migration

48 weeks

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.

Time Frame
Functional recovery
Time Frame: 48 weeks
To investigate if the enhanced incorporation of hip prostheses in denosumab treated patients compared to placebo leads to faster functional recovery as measured by main parameters of gait analysis, pedometer evaluation of walking activity and patient reported outcome measures
