From 2014-2017, across 7 Canadian and 2 European sites, we randomized 618 patients at high-risk of re-injury, to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with or without a lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET) and demonstrated that the addition of the LET reduced the risk of instability (RRR=0.38; 95% Confidence Interval (CI), 0.21-0.52; P=0.0001) and graft re-rupture (RRR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.36-0.83; P=0.001). As a result, practice has changed; there has been a large increase in the proportion of orthopaedic surgeons recommending the addition of an LET at the time of ACLR and an increase in the number of patients requesting an LET from their surgeon. There is some weak evidence suggesting that in the longer term, the LET may increase the risk of developing osteoarthritis (OA) in that knee. Knee OA affects over 4.4 million Canadians and the number of younger adults being diagnosed with knee OA is growing and is a primary reason for seeking healthcare in Canada. The impact of OA in Canada is enormous and projected to cost Canada $17.5 billion annually in lost productivity alone by 2031. This study will use imaging and patient-reported Knee Outcomes Osteoarthritis Score (KOOS) to evaluate the incidence of OA at 10-years post ACL reconstruction with and without LET. We will also collect information about overall knee health, patient-reported outcomes, costs associated with knee injury, rehabilitation and disability, clinical failure, functional ability, and sport participation. It is crucial that we understand the risks of developing knee OA associated with the addition of an LET to an ACLR so that surgeons and patients can make informed decisions, not just for their immediate post injury treatment of the failed ligament, but for the potential long-term consequences of that decision.

The overall aim of this multicenter RCT is to determine whether concomitant ALL reconstruction in children undergoing and ACL reconstruction will longitudinally result in a lower rate of graft failure than ACL reconstruction alone.

The purpose of this study is to assess the intra-operative and post-operative effects of tourniquet use during ACL reconstruction. We hypothesize that: 1. Limited tourniquet use will not significantly impact arthroscopic visualization nor the time it takes to complete an ACL reconstruction. 2. Limited tourniquet use will lead to significantly less patient pain intra-operatively and in the immediate peri-operative period. 3. Patients who undergo an ACL reconstruction with limited tourniquet use will have earlier return of quadriceps functions as compared to those undergoing reconstruction with the use of a tourniquet.

Why Other Patients Applied

As a healthy volunteer, I like to participate in as many trials as I'm able to. It's a good way to help research and earn money.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This trial is testing whether adding an internal brace during ACL surgery helps patients recover faster and have better outcomes. It focuses on young adults and athletes who need strong and stable knees. The brace is supposed to make the new ligament stronger and more stable while it heals. Internal bracing of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reinforces the ligament and encourages natural healing by protecting it during the healing phase and supporting early mobilization.

This is a prospective randomized controlled trial with the purpose to determine if patients undergoing fibular collateral ligament (FCL) reconstruction alone or combined FCL and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions can safely begin full controlled weightbearing for the first six weeks after surgery.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do 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 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 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 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 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.
