Ketorolac for ACL Injury

Strongsville, Ohio
This is a double-blind randomized controlled trial of standard of care therapy, either oral ketorolac (experimental group) or oral oxycodone (control group) to demonstrate efficacy in reducing the percentage of narcotic doses taken and documenting the number of patients with no exposure to any narcotics (take zero oxycodone) after undergoing primary knee ACL reconstruction outpatient surgery.

To date, the use of the quadriceps tendon as an autograft option in primary paediatric Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction has not been well studied. The 2018 International Olympic Committee (IOC) Consensus Statement now outlines the quadriceps tendon as a possible autograft option. However, no Randomised Control Trial (RCT) has examined the efficacy of the quadriceps tendon autograft in primary paediatric ACL reconstruction compared to the historical "gold-standard" soft-tissue hamstring autograft in this population. In light of its evidence for favourable outcomes in the adult population, and the (albeit limited) evidence showing safety and promise in the paediatric population, clinical equipoise exists for assessing its impact on outcomes in paediatric patients at the index surgery. This is a parallel, international, multi-centre, blinded randomized controlled trial of 352 skeletally-immature (at the time of injury) patients (ages 10-18 years, inclusive) undergoing primary ACL reconstruction to compare the effect of autograft tendon choice (i.e. hamstring versus soft-tissue quadriceps) on the rates of ACL graft failure, return-to-sport, knee function, pain, health-related quality of life and health utility, psychological factors, range of motion and stability, and any other adverse events at 24 months.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of semiconductor sleeves on the treatment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) or Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Meniscus (ACL+Meniscus) arthroscopic surgery. The effect of the sleeves will be analyzed through patient reported and clinically measured outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do the semiconductor sleeves improve the functional outcomes compared to the placebo? * Will patients experience improved functional outcomes in a shorter period of time compared to the placebo? Researchers will compare semiconductor fabric sleeves to a placebo (a look-alike sleeve that contains no semiconductor material) to see if the semiconductor fabric better treats ACL and ACL+meniscus surgical patients. Participants will: * Wear semiconductor or placebo leg sleeve for 4 weeks and knee sleeve for the following 12 weeks * Complete patient reported outcome surveys

This trial is testing a new procedure called BEAR for treating ACL injuries. It uses an implant and the patient's blood to help heal the torn ligament. The study aims to see if age affects how well patients recover from this procedure. The BEAR technique combines repairing the ACL with a special material placed in the gap between the torn ends to help healing.

In primary pediatric Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, the quadriceps tendon with either tendon and patellar bone or an all-tendon graft is commonly employed. However, no randomized control trial has sought to discern the superior graft option in regards to both short-term and long-term patient outcomes.The purpose of this study is to assess the differences between these two widely used surgical techniques in ACL reconstruction by examining short, intermediate, and long term outcomes of both approaches.

By 2040, 25% of Canadians will have osteoarthritis, a disabling joint condition. Most people think osteoarthritis only affects older adults, but 50% of the 700,000 Canadian youth who hurt their knee playing sports annually will develop osteoarthritis by 40 years of age. These young people with old knees face knee pain and disability for much of their adult lives, interfering with parenting, work, and recreation. Yet, most do not know about osteoarthritis or how to reduce their risk. In this clinical trial, people who have torn the Anterior Cruciate ligament in their knee and had reconstruction surgery 9-36 months previously will be randomized to receive either a 6-month virtual education and exercise therapy program called Stop OsteoARthritis (SOAR) or a minimal intervention control program. Researchers will test if those who received the SOAR program have larger gains in knee health, including pain, symptoms, function, and quality of life at 6, 12, and 24 months. Researchers will also use MRIs (baseline and 24 months) to assess how the SOAR program influences knee cartilage degeneration and its cost-effectiveness.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Ketorolac for ACL Injury, Semiconductor Fabric Sleeves for ACL Surgery and Intraosseous Morphine for ACL Injury to the Power online platform.
