Breakthrough Medication
Tranexamic Acid (TXA) is an antifibrolytic medication used in total hip and knee arthroplasty to reduce the need for intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusions. Limited research is available on its use in hip fracture patients. We hypothesize that the use of TXA preoperatively, perioperatively, and postoperatively will decrease blood loss and need for blood transfusion postoperatively.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a new 14-week individually-tailored home-based rehabilitation program called "Stronger at Home" with usual care in improving functional recovery in community-dwelling older adults after hip fractures. The main question this trial aims to answer are: • Is the Stronger at Home program more effective than usual care in improving functional recovery at the end of the 14-week intervention? secondary questions include: * What is the cost-utility of the Stronger at Home program compared to usual care at 3.5 months, 6 months, and 12 months after discharge? * Does the program have a sustained impact on functional recovery at 6 months and 12 months post-discharge? Participants in the trial will be asked to engage in the following tasks: * Participate in the Stronger at Home program, which includes using a self-directed toolkit consisting of educational resources and an illustrated exercise program. * Follow the guidelines provided in the toolkit for gradually increasing exercise intensity and incorporating different types of exercises into their daily life. The effects of the Stronger at Home program will be compared to those of usual care.

As our Canadian population ages, hip fractures in these older adults are becoming very common. The best treatment for the majority of these injuries is urgent treatment with surgery. However, the hip fracture itself, the surgery required, and the immobility following these injuries are all risk factors for developing blood clots in the legs (deep vein thrombosis or DVT) and blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism or PE). These complications are a common cause of death in patients with hip fractures and often result in prolonged medical treatment and hospital stays. Patients with hip fractures who require surgery are traditionally given injectable blood thinners to help prevent blood clots; however, these medications are costly, may not be tolerated well, and can be difficult to take, as prescribed. Oral blood thinning medications are being used more commonly, but it is unknown which of these medications is the most effective in preventing blood clots in patients after a hip fracture. Thrombelastography (TEG) technology uses a small sample of blood to evaluate a person's clotting ability. Our research has used TEG technology to evaluate blood clotting risk after hip fracture surgery and the investigators have found that platelets may play an important role in abnormal blood clotting after a hip fracture. The investigators have also shown that acetylsalicylic acid (ASA or Aspirin) may help reduce the abnormal platelet hyperactivity associated with blood clotting. This medication warrants investigation for blood clot prevention after hip fracture. The investigators propose to directly compare different oral medication regimens after hip fracture surgery, in order to determine which is safest and most effective in preventing blood clots. Our multi-disciplinary research team includes physicians, surgeons, and scientists with experience evaluating different medications for blood clot prevention. Our results will help determine the best medical treatment for preventing DVT and PE, which will benefit patients with hip fractures worldwide.

Recent research has demonstrated that a hemiarthroplasty (replacement of half the joint) has lower rates of post-surgical complications than a total hip arthroplasty does. However, surgeons tend to vary in their approach to hemiarthroplasties. The lateral approach, which involves making an incision at the side of the patient's hip, requires surgeons to cut through the muscle to access the hip, which has been associated with greater muscle damage and slower rates of recovery. On the other hand, the direct anterior approach does not require the cutting of the patient's muscle and is therefore associated with minimal muscle damage and faster rates of recovery. This study will aim to assess the impact of the surgical approach (Direct Anterior Approach vs. Lateral approach) during hemiarthroplasty on patients' short-term mobility, quality of life, function, pain, and safety parameters.

The objective of this study is to determine whether a new minimally invasive method for in vivo measurement of cortical bone tissue properties can identify those who are at risk for fragility fractures of the hip and radius. The investigators hypothesis is that women with fragility fractures of the hip and radius have altered cortical bone tissue properties compared to non-fracture controls independent of standard clinical tests, such as bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

"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."

ADHD PatientAge: 31

"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."

Pancreatic Cancer PatientAge: 40

"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."

AG
Paralysis PatientAge: 50

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Subtrochanteric Fracture 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 Subtrochanteric Fracture 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 Subtrochanteric Fracture 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 Subtrochanteric Fracture 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 Subtrochanteric Fracture 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 Subtrochanteric Fracture clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Cryoablation vs Fascia Iliaca Block for Hip Fracture, My Anesthesia Choice for Hip Fracture and Local Anesthesia for Hip Fracture Surgery to the Power online platform.
