Antibiotic Beads vs Negative Pressure Therapy for Open Tibia Fracture

Cincinnati, Ohio
The Beads vs Vac trial is a multi-centre randomized controlled trial of 312 participants with a severe open tibia fracture requiring multiple irrigation and debridement surgeries. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive either an antibiotic bead pouch or negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for their temporary open fracture wound management. Outcomes will be assessed at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months post-surgery. The primary outcome will be a composite outcome to evaluate clinical status six months after randomization. Components of the composite outcome will be hierarchically assessed in the following order: 1) all-cause mortality, 2) injury-related amputation of the lower extremity, 3) unplanned reoperation to manage wound complications, infection, or delayed fracture healing, and 4) clinical fracture healing as assessed using the Functional IndeX for Trauma (FIX-IT) instrument. The secondary outcomes will independently assess the four components of the primary outcome. This is a Phase III trial.

Nerve Block for Knee Surgery Pain

Chicago, Illinois
The investigators are conducting this research study to find better ways of treating pain following knee surgery. There is a standard (accepted) approach, which involves injection of numbing medication into the area around the participant surgical incision. The investigators hope to discover if providing numbing medication to a nerve that controls pain in a larger area of the knee (a nerve block), might be better at post-operative pain control.

GIK Therapy for Broken Leg Bones

New York, New York
The purpose of this phase 2 randomized control trial will be to evaluate the effect of glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) therapy in the setting of lower extremity trauma to reduce short- and long-term muscle damage, acute rhabdomyolysis, and acute kidney injury. The study will consist of 40 patients with femur or tibial shaft fractures randomized to the GIK arm (using a well-described systemic GIK protocol; n = 20) or the control arm (using isotonic saline; n = 20). The use of systemic GIK is expected to decrease the overall amount of lower extremity muscle cell death and result in improved muscle function in the postoperative period. Additionally, the investigators hypothesize that GIK will lead to less severe rhabdomyolysis and a concomitant decrease in the incidence of AKI that results from the byproducts of muscle cell death.

Cast vs Removable Boot for Toddler's Fracture

Toronto, Ontario
A toddler's fracture is a fracture that occurs in the lower leg, oven the shin, of children 9 months to four years of age. It usually happens when a young child twists the leg while running or jumping. It is one of the most common injuries of the leg in this age group. In Canada and the United States there are about 80,000 cases per year that present to emergency departments. The good news is that these fractures are stable injuries and heal exceptionally well, without any reported concerns for problems in the future. Despite this, most children with this fracture are managed in a restrictive full circular cast, often including the entire leg, for three to six weeks. This cast management then also includes about two to three repeat visits to see a bone doctor, where the cast is often changed and new x-rays are taken with each visit. However, none of these things has ever been shown to change the way these young children's fractures heal. Further, casting can cause harm such as skin irritation or poor cast fit which may result in problems that are more distressing than the fracture itself. There are also costs to consider. The needless excess costs of the current management strategy in Canada alone can be estimated to be about 1.8 million dollars annually. And so, increasingly, some doctors are choosing to manage these stable fractures with a supportive device on the lower leg, a removable walking boot. This type of device can be taken off as needed by the parent and child and used only as long as the child needs it to manage the pain that results from this stable fracture. This makes caring for the child much easier and allows the child to return to activities when the child is ready. Further, families do not necessarily need to return to a bone doctor for cast changes or x-rays or reassessment. Since this fracture recovers so well, patients can see their family doctor to make sure their child is returning to activity as expected and have their questions about recovery answered. But, in order to be sure that the removable walking boot works as well as a cast in these fractures, we need to do a well-designed study to make sure we consider all the important aspects of making this change. As a result, in children with toddler's fractures, we will compare the traditional treatment of cast placement to a removable walking boot with respect to how each immobilization strategy controls pain and how quickly children return to their usual activities. We hope that children treated with a removable walking boot will still be able to achieve good pain control while their injury is healing. It is possible too those children will even return to their activities sooner and this newer strategy could save the health care system money.

Auricular Acupuncture for Postoperative Pain After Lower Leg Fracture

Houston, Texas
This trial is testing whether using electrical acupuncture on the ear can help reduce the need for strong painkillers for patients having surgery for lower leg fractures with spinal anesthesia. The idea is that this method might help manage pain better, so fewer opioids are needed. Electroacupuncture has been shown to reduce pain and the need for pain relief in various surgical settings.

Joint Lavage for Ankle Fractures

Fort Sam Houston, Texas
High-energy tibial pilon fractures have historically been associated with poor outcomes largely due to the elevated risk of severe post-traumatic arthritis. Intraarticular fractures result in a pro-inflammatory hemarthrosis that may further exacerbate the chondral damage that was sustained due to the original injury. This project will study the effect of joint lavage on the concentration of inflammatory cytokines in the ankle following a high-energy tibial pilon fracture and the resultant effect on short-term patient outcomes.

"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."

Ossiofiber® Nail for Knee Stress Fractures

Stanford, California
The OSSIOfiber® Trimmable Fixation Nails are indicated for maintenance of alignment and fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis and bone grafts in the presence of appropriate additional immobilization (e.g., rigid fixation implants, cast, brace). Our hypothesis is that the use of OSSIOfiber® Trimmable Fixation Nails for treating subchondral insufficiency of the knee will result in improvement of patient-reported outcomes and imaging findings. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of implanting bio-integrative OSSIOfiber® Trimmable Fixation Nails, organized in a bi-cortical rafter formation within the tibia or femur for the management of subchondral insufficiency. This use is not considered off-label because we are using the TFNs in the way they are intended to be used via FDA approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Tibial 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 Tibial 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 Tibial 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 Tibial 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 Tibial 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 Tibial Fracture clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Ossiofiber® Nail for Knee Stress Fractures, Intramedullary Nailing for Tibial Fracture and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for Broken Leg to the Power online platform.
