E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective is to study the effect of Denosumab on Bone Mineral Density, Standardised Uptake Value and bone metabolism in patients with total hip arthroplasty. The primary hypothesis is to demonstrate that Denosumab is superior to placebo. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives are to:
• evaluate the safety and tolerability of Denosumab in patients with total hip arthroplasty
• evaluate quality of life after treatment with Denosumab in patients with total hip arthroplasty
|
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
The patients must fulfil the following criterias to included
1. Male or female patients patients 35-65 years of age with an unilateral OAH requiring a THA and a healthy contralateral hip,
2. Body weight <110 kg or BMI <35 kg/m2
3. Living in the Uppsala County.
4. The eligible patients should have been given oral information, a written Patient information and signed an Informed Consent
Demographic history, age, sex, height and weight, medical history, physical examination should be recorded and checked for inclusion as well as exclusion criterias.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
The presence of any of the following criteria will exclude the patient from participating in the study:
1. on or previously have had bone-specific treatment, eg bisphophonates, raloxiphene, parathyroid hormone, strontium ranelate, during the last five years
2. patients on systemical corticosteroid for more than 3 months should not be considered..
3. patients with diagnosed malignant disease during the last five years or known to have metastasis from malignant disease should be excluded.
4. Patients with renal insufficiency and a se-creatinine-clearance <35ml/min, calcultated according to Cockcroft-Gault, must not be included in the study.
5. Patients with compromised general conditions and an American Society of Anesthesiologists, ASA-score >31 should not be regarded eligible.
6. Patients with known drug or alcohol abuse or regarded as socially dysfunctional, as judged by the investigator, should not be considered for the study.
7. Pregnant women or women planning for pregnancy or fertile women (premenopausal) without contraceptives should not be accepted for the study.
8. Patients that have been exposed frequently and/or have had large irradiation doses, as jugded by the investigator, must not be included in the study.
9. Enrolled in either another investigational drug study, in another investigational device study, or in another investigational study of an approved drug within 30 days prior to Visit 1 of the current study.
10. Any condition or laboratory findings which in the opinion of the Investigator makes the patient unsuitable for inclusion

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
1. BMD, g/cm2, adjacent to the femur implant, Gruen zone 7, and the sum for all Gruen zones after 12 months |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1. Fluoride isotope uptake, measured as Standardized Uptake Values, adjacent to the femoral stem, 3 and 6 months after surgery and longitudinal changes during the period after surgery.
2. The study drug’s effects on SUV measured with PET/CT adjacent to the acetabular cup after 3 and 6 months and longitudinal changes during the period after surgery.
3. The study drugs effect on BMD adjacent to the acetabular cup during the follow up period, ie after 3,6, 12 and 24 months
4. The study drug’s effects on biochemical markers for bone turnover and the relation to PET and BMD findings at the proximal femur and acetabulum during the follow up period, ie after 3,6, 12 and 24 months
5. The study drug’s effects on BMD at the lumbar spine and at the contra lateral hip after surgical treatment with an uncemented THA after 12 months (and 24 and 60 months)
6. The study drug’s effects on biochemical markers for bone turnover and the relation to PET and BMD findings at anatomical sites not exposed to surgery, ie the lumbar spine and the contra lateral hip after 3 and 6 months
7. The natural course of an uncemented THA on SUV measured with PET, ie the placebo group after 3 and 6 months (and 24 months)
8. The natural course of an uncemented THA on biochemical markers, ie the placebo group after 3, 6 and 12 months.
9. The study drug’s effect on SUV at the lumbar spine and at the contra lateral hip after surgical treatment with an uncemented THA after 3 and 6 months
