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

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The goal of the project is to evaluate osteonecrosis before and after decompression surgery with ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI.

The investigators approach relies on the FDA-approved iron supplement ferumoxytol (Feraheme), which is used off label as a contrast agent for MRI. Ferumoxytol is composed of iron oxide nanoparticles, which provide a strong T1- and T2-signal on magnetic resonance (MR) images and are taken up by cells in bone marrow.

20 patients will undergo MRI before and after decompression surgery and transplantation of bone marrow derived cells. 10 patients will receive a single intravenous injection of ferumoxytol prior to their surgery. 10 additional patients will serve as untreated controls. The investigators hypothesize that MR images after intravenous injection of ferumoxytol will improve lesion detection and allow to track transplanted bone marrow cells. MR imaging findings will be correlated with clinical outcomes.

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. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

8 years to 40 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Osteonecrosis
  • planned decompression surgery with autologous stem cell transplant

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Contraindications for magnetic resonance imaging
  • Hemosiderosis/hemochromatosis ( patients can still be included in the non-ferumoxytol arm)

Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Active Comparator: Ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI
Patients receive a ferumoxytol injection (Feraheme, AMAG, 5mg Fe/kg, single administration) prior to routine decompression surgery and autologous stem cell transplant. Follow-up imaging with magnetic resonance imaging will be conducted in regular intervals for evaluation of the response to treatment.
Drug: Ferumoxytol-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging
Eligible patients receive a single ferumoxytol-dose and follow-up magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate success of stem cell transplant
Device: Magentic Resonance Imaging
Both arms will receive MRI
Other Names:
  • MRI
Sham Comparator: Non-ferumoxytol enhanced MRI
Patients scheduled for routine decompression surgery and autologous stem cell transplant will receive follow-up magnetic resonance imaging in regular intervals for evaluation of the response to treatment.
Device: Magentic Resonance Imaging
Both arms will receive MRI
Other Names:
  • MRI

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
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)
Time Frame: week 1 postsurgery

SNR is a measurement that compares the strength of a signal to the level of background noise. It is often expressed in decibels (dB) and is calculated by dividing the signal power by the noise power. A ratio greater than 1:1 indicates that there is more signal than noise.

First, for each lesion the MR signal intensity (SI) of the lesion and the SI of the background (= noise in the image) was measured, then the SI of the lesion was divided by the SI of the noise to obtain the signal to noise ratio. Then, the mean SNR and standard deviation was calculated for the different groups of lesions and compared to the mean SNR between treated versus not treated lesions and treated lesions at different time points after the treatment using statistical tests.
week 1 postsurgery
T2*-Relaxation Time
Time Frame: week 1 postsurgery
T2* relaxation time is a measure of how quickly transverse magnetization decays in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It's a key factor in image contrast in gradient-echo (GRE) sequences and is used in many MRI applications, such as perfusion imaging, susceptibility-weighted imaging, and functional imaging. Lower T2* relaxation times indicate greater contrast agent uptake in cells.
week 1 postsurgery
Evaluation of Treatment Response to Decompression Surgery and Stem Cell Transplant
Time Frame: one year
Number of femurs that did not collapse by 1 year follow up. Evaluation of progression of osteonecrosis via scale 1-4, bone marrow edema, collapse of subchondral fractures.
