What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at bone samples from 52 adults having hip replacement surgery to understand how osteoporosis causes tiny damage that leads to fractures. Researchers will use CT scans and computer models to compare healthy and osteoporotic bones. The goal is to create better ways to predict and diagnose bone fractures before they happen.

Participants

About 52 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The population consists of 52 subjects, 26 of whom are prosthetic and have osteoporosis detectable by preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan and 26 prosthetic whose CT scan does not indicate the presence of osteoporosis. The classification of the two groups will be made exclusively by analysis of routine preoperative CT scans according to standard radiological classification.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age: \>=18 years * primary hip replacement * Signature of informed consent * Patients who have a routine preoperative CT scan Exclusion criteria: * Patients unrelated to the inclusion criteria of this study * Bone disease (non-osteoporotic) such as to invalidate sample analysis, including but not limited to genetic disorders and bone tumors * Patients with contralateral hip replacement and/or other synthetic means in the contralateral hip * Patients with synthesis devices in the hip of interest
