Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to compare the success of two types of hip replacement in patients with hip arthritis. The main question it aims to answer is whether a new type of hip replacement (called a hip resurfacing) can be as successful as an existing hip replacement (called a total hip replacement). Patients will be given either the new hip resurfacing or the existing total hip replacement and researchers will compare their function, complication rate and physical activity.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The H1 Implant is a cementless, ceramic hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) device. The intended purpose of the H1 Implant is to provide an artificial substitute for a disease-damaged hip joint to replace the articulating surfaces of the hip while preserving the underlying femoral head and natural femoral neck. This is standard for a resurfacing hip prosthesis. This study will randomise patients to receive either The H1 Implant or a primary cementless ceramic-on-poly or ceramic-on-ceramic total hip replacement (THR). Composite clinical success (CCS) scores, physical activity levels and patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) will be compared for the two groups. The primary objective of the study is to determine whether the H1 Implant is non-inferior to cementless THR in terms of CCS. The key secondary objective is to determine whether the H1 Implant is superior compared to cementless THR in terms of physical activity and PROMs. Other secondary objectives are to compare the H1 Implant and THR with respect to: safety, through collection of all device-related, operative site-related and systemic adverse events; and noise generation, through patient survey.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Randomisation will be performed using variable block randomisation with block sizes of 4, 6 and 8, with a 1:1 allocation to the 2 groups, with stratification across sites. This will ensure approximately equal numbers across groups and approximately the same number per group at each site (to control for differences in the trial population because of environmental, social and demographic factors), while allowing different total numbers at each site. It will also ensure that at any given time, the numbers in each group will be approximately equal, allowing the interim analyses to take place. The randomisation will be managed by the contract research organisation (CRO) via an electronic data capture (EDC) system, which uses a validated randomisation algorithm. Once a patient has been consented, they will be assigned to a treatment group according to the pre-determined order inside the block. Stratification by site is recommended for multi-centre studies.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

TRIPLE

Participants Investigators Outcome Assessors
The patients, clinical assessors and data analysts will be blinded to the intervention each patient has received for the 24 month post-operative period. The surgeon, operating theatre team, radiographic analysts and CRO cannot be blinded but will not be involved in the care of the patient after the intervention unless the patient requires revision surgery.
