Total knee replacement (TKR) is a common and costly procedure widely used to relieve pain and improve function in patients with symptomatic advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA). As of 2013, the annual incidence of TKR was over 680,000 surgeries and annual costs exceeded $11 billion. Growing evidence suggests that while pain and functional status improve following TKR, physical activity (PA) typically does not surpass pre-TKR levels. Engagement in PA can meaningfully improve quality of life (QoL), pain, and function. Given the large investment in TKR, the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of TKR could be substantially increased if TKR recipients became more physically active.
The Knee Arthroplasty Activity Trial (KArAT) is a randomized controlled trial and participants will be randomly assigned to one of three arms. Participants across all arms will receive usual post-operative care for TKR surgery. Participants in the first arm will complete basic study activities, such as responding to surveys and attending two in-person clinic visits. Participants in the second arm will do the same and also receive a wrist-based physical activity tracker intervention. Participants in the third arm will receive a telephonic active coaching (motivational interviewing) and financial incentives (for reaching physical activity goals) (TAC(MI)+FI) based intervention, as well as a wrist-based physical activity tracker intervention. The second and third arms will be eligible to receive lottery-based financial rewards for wearing a wrist-worn activity tracker for twenty-four months during the study.

Exparel Anesthetic for Total Knee Replacement
Cleveland, Ohio
Intra-articular Posteromedial Surgeon Administered (IPSA) Block in this study describes a new type of medical procedure where a surgeon provides anesthetic medication directly into a specific area inside a knee joint to numb the pain during knee surgery. Intra-articular refers to inside of knee joint, posteromedial refers to the back and inner side of a knee joint, and surgeon administered means a surgeon is performing the procedure.
Patients You will be randomly assigned to one of these three treatment groups:
Group 1:
Patients in this group will receive IPSA block and Local Infiltration Analgesia (LIA).
IPSA block is a pain numbing medication given by surgeon and injected inside the back and inner side of the knee joint. Local Infiltration Analgesia is a pain numbing medication injection given by the surgeon around the surgical knee area. The medications used in the procedure will be EXPAREL, and Bupivacaine HCL.
Group 2 (Control):
Patients in this group will receive Adductor Canal Block (ACB) and Local Infiltration Analgesia (LIA). ACB is a pain numbing injection given by anesthesiologist near the adductor canal, a passage in the mid-thigh that contains nerves connecting the knee region. Local Infiltration Analgesia is a pain numbing medication injection given by the surgeon around the surgical knee area. The medications used in the procedure will be EXPAREL, and Bupivacaine HCL.
Group 3:
Patients in this group will receive Local Infiltration Analgesia (LIA). Local Infiltration Analgesia is a pain numbing medication injection given by the surgeon around the surgical knee area. The medications used in the procedure will be EXPAREL, and Bupivacaine HCL.
The study will evaluate;
* How effective the pain relief is after surgery.
* How much extra pain medication you need.
* Your satisfaction with pain management and recovery
* Any side effects.

Knee Surgery vs Physical Therapy for Osteoarthritis
Cleveland, Ohio
There are two cartilage structures, called menisci, in each knee joint. A torn meniscus can be caused by a traumatic injury or aging-related degeneration. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a type of arthritis that is caused by the breakdown and eventual loss of another type of cartilage that covers the end of bones within a joint. In people who have knee OA, a meniscal tear can easily lead to disability. This study will compare the effectiveness of two recommended treatments, surgery and physical therapy, for people with a torn meniscus and knee OA.

Methylprednisolone for Knee Arthritis
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Pain control and early range of motion following total knee arthroplasty are essential for patient satisfaction. Intraoperative steroids (dexamethasone) have been shown to have a significant effect in controlling acute pain following total knee arthroplasty. This study aims to evaluate the effect of a post-operative steroid (methylprednisolone) taper in improving functional and patient-reported outcomes following total knee arthroplasty. A taper means taking a high dose of a medication followed by taking lower doses and each following day until the medication is stopped.

Knee Implant Alignment for Osteoarthritis
Louisville, Kentucky
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if preparing the target alignment of the operative side in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) based on the non-arthritic side will give the patient better overall alignment, function, and improved results compared to basing our implant alignment and positioning off the arthritic side, which is currently the traditional method.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Will a patient have improved postoperative TKA results if the implant alignment is based off the non-arthritic side compared to the standard arthritic side?
* What are the similarities or differences between study arms with respect to final implant alignment and positioning angles? Researchers will compare the outcomes of two cohorts of patients undergoing primary robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) with normal contralateral knee. Based on preoperative CT imaging, the researchers will use normal contralateral side joint numbers as the target alignment for one group (Experimental arm) and utilize the traditional method for the other group (Active comparator arm). Clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) will be compared between groups.
Participants will:
* Be randomized into one of two study arms and will receive either a unilateral knee CT or bilateral knee CT preoperatively
* Follow-up in the clinic at 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 1-year postoperatively, per standard-of-care for x-ray and clinical evaluation.
* Complete postop questionnaires (PROMs) at the prescribed follow-up intervals

Probiotics for Knee Replacement
London, Ontario
Patients having knee replacement surgery regularly experience joint pain and compromised bone quality leading to implant loosening and periprosthetic fractures. The role of the gut microbiome, which is the collection of bacteria and other microbes within the human gastrointestinal tract, is just beginning to be recognized, including its potential effects on pain, infection, and loosening after total joint replacement. Antibiotics are regularly used in orthopaedic surgery to reduce the risk of infection, but they also harm gut microbiota and reduce their potentially beneficial effects. Probiotics may have a role to play in enhancing bone quality and decreasing synovial inflammation after joint replacement surgery, and this study will explore the potential relationship of probiotic use with implant migration, bone density, and patient outcomes.
This study is a randomized, controlled, double-blinded trial comparing probiotic use with placebo in post-menopausal women undergoing primary total knee replacement. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* to compare implant migration between groups from baseline to six weeks post-surgery
* to compare bone density and joint inflammation between groups from baseline to six weeks post-surgery
* to compare gut microbiome composition and patient-reported outcome measures between groups from baseline to six weeks post-surgery

Coated vs. Standard Knee Implants for Osteoarthritis
London, Ontario
Metal hypersensitivity is a recognized complication in some patients following total joint arthroplasty. This can result in a reaction to metal particles from the implants placed in the joint and cause tissue injury. The Evolution® NitrX™ (MicroPort Orthopaedics, Memphis, TN) knee implant was designed with the addition of a coating meant to create a barrier against the release of metal ions. The primary purpose of this study is to compare the Evolution and Evolution NitrX implant (implants your surgeon uses in total knee arthroplasty surgery). This study will compare the stability of these knee implants (any movement the implant makes after surgery) through the use of specialized xrays, called "radiostereometric analysis" (RSA for short). The investigators will also compare levels of circulating metal particles with blood draws and the effects of any circulating metal with MR imaging. The investigators will also be looking at the participants clinical outcomes using joint function and patient satisfaction questionnaires. A total of 50 patients will be enrolled into the study.

More than 70,000 total knee replacement procedures are performed annually in Canada, representing a growth of 17% over the past 5 years, with further increases anticipated due to an aging population. While total knee replacement offers improved quality of life for patients and is cost effective for the healthcare system, 20% of patients routinely report dissatisfaction with the procedure. Patient dissatisfaction has been strongly linked to unmet expectations of outcomes after the surgery, especially with respect to physical activity. Counselling patients on appropriate expectations has been suggested as a means to improve satisfaction. Recently, our group has developed a tool to predict the functional ability of an individual patient after total knee replacement. This tool employs machine learning to classify patients as more likely to maintain or improve function, based on a functional test performed in clinic while wearing a sensor system around each knee. Implementing this tool in clinic pre-operatively could assist in setting appropriate expectations for each patient. Our primary objective is to compare patient satisfaction scores at one year after total knee replacement in patients who were informed of their specific expected functional outcome compared to patients who were not informed of their predicted functional outcome. We hypothesize that patients who are given an informed expectation will have higher satisfaction scores. This in turn may decrease health system costs associated with additional clinic visits from dissatisfied patients.

"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."

Morphine + Vancomycin for Pain Control After Knee Replacement
Roanoke, Virginia
Study investigators propose to investigate if a bony injection of pain medication during a knee replacement will help pain levels following primary knee replacement surgery. To investigate this, 86 patients will be enrolled. Half of the patients will receive a bony injection of antibiotics with morphine (pain medication) while the other half will receive a bony injection of antibiotics with placebo (no pain medication). Following surgery, patient pain levels and pain medication consumption will be measured.
The injection is intraosseous meaning in the bone. The needle pierces the bone and the medication is injected into the bone. The site of injection is on the anterior (front) of the upper portion of the tibia. The medications are Vancomycin (antibiotic) and Morphine (pain medication) which are mixed in separate syringes and then injected. Intraosseous vancomycin is standard of care while intraosseous vancomycin with morphine is also standard of care, depending on operating surgeon.

Chicago, Illinois
The main goal of this study is to see if there is a connection between the social and economic resources available in a patient's neighborhood (measured by the Area Deprivation Index, ADI) and their recovery after knee replacement surgery, as tracked through remote monitoring. A secondary goal is to find out if patients' self-reported pain and function score are linked to their actual physical improvement after surgery as measured by a remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) device. Additionally, this study examines whether RTM can reduce the number of postoperative clinic visits within the first 90 days after surgery while maintaining patient satisfaction and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Knee Replacement Techniques for Osteoarthritis
Hamilton, Ontario
Knee replacement surgery is the second most common surgery in Canada. People who have very painful knee arthritis usually receive a knee replacement where the surgeon aims to make everyone's knee as straight as possible (called mechanical alignment). Mechanical alignment focuses on making the implant last as long as possible. However, everybody's knee shape is different and we think that it is important to take individual differences into account. A newer technique that is more personalized is called restricted kinematic alignment. This technique customizes the placement of the new knee to reproduce each patient's unique knee shape, which may not be perfectly straight. We think this newer technique may feel more natural, be more stable, and lead to better knee function. Restricted kinematic alignment might last as long or longer than mechanical alignment, but the research that has been conducted to date is not clear. We are conducting this study to help surgeons better understand which technique is better. One of the reasons the existing research is not clear is because new developments in robotic technology now allow surgeons to place knee implants very precisely, which was not done in most previous research. In this study everyone will receive a robot-assisted knee surgery so we can be sure the implants are placed as precisely as possible.
The purpose of this trial is to determine whether there are differences in patient outcomes using restricted kinematic alignment rather than the traditionally used mechanical alignment for total knee replacements.
Participants who are having total knee replacements will be randomized to receive either a robot-assisted total knee replacement using mechanical alignment, or a robot-assisted total knee replacement using restricted kinematic alignment . We will ask participants to walk in a markerless motion capture system which will measure walking characteristics at pre-op, 6 months postop and 12 months postop. Participants will also complete a series of standardized questionnaires at preop and 6 months, 12 months, and 24 month postop.

Medrol Dosepak for Total Knee Replacement
Oak Brook, Illinois
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an oral methylprednisolone taper on acute postoperative pain, function, opioid consumption, nausea, and complications following outpatient total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We hypothesize that administration of an oral methylprednisolone taper starting on postoperative day 1 (POD 1) following TKA will be associated with improved pain and decreased opioid use, nausea, and complications at POD1-7, as compared to similar patients who receive placebo. Additionally, those taking methylprednisolone will report decreased pain and greater objective functional outcomes at 3 and 6 weeks postoperatively as compared to controls.

Nerve Block for Total Knee Replacement
Toronto, Ontario
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a frequent performed surgery. Many institutions are implementing fast track programs for this surgery and adequate pain management is an important feature. Analgesic duration of single shot nerve blocks is limited to no more than 24h. Conversely, the use of continuous nerve block (CNB) through a perineural catheter and infusion of local anesthetic may increase duration of analgesia and provide better outcomes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate effectiveness and safety of using CNB in patients undergoing ambulatory TKA, and its effects on patients' quality of recovery. Investigators hypothesize that continuous adductor canal block would lead to decrease in opioid consumption in patients undergoing fast track TKA.
Significance There are no published prospective randomized controlled trials to assess patient's reported quality of recovery after receiving CACB in same day primary knee arthroplasties. As this is a frequent type of surgery and has the prediction to increase its incidence for the next years, there is significant importance in investigations about interventions which may improve its recovery in a fast track regime. A postoperative analgesic technique that offers better pain control, has less adverse effects, reduces the opioid analgesia requirement and is safe to be used in a fast track setting may have additional impact on decreasing health care cost and may lead to an enhanced recovery and better quality of life.
Objectives To evaluate effectiveness and safety of using CACB in patients undergoing ambulatory TKA, in comparison to SACB. Primary objective is opioid consumption (in oral morphine equivalent doses) Secondary objectives are to evaluate postoperative QoR-15 scores (10), pain scores, opioid-induced adverse effects (measured via validated opioid symptom distress scale), postoperative functional status, complications relating to the perineural catheter and readmissions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Total Knee Arthroplasty 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 Total Knee Arthroplasty 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 Total Knee Arthroplasty 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 Total Knee Arthroplasty 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 Total Knee Arthroplasty 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 Total Knee Arthroplasty clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Whole Food Plant-Based Smoothie for Knee Replacement, Smart Knee Implants for Osteoarthritis and Methylprednisolone for Knee Arthritis to the Power online platform.
