Montelukast after ACL surgery to protect knee cartilage
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This early trial tests whether montelukast, a tablet used for allergies, can help protect knee cartilage after ACL surgery. It is specifically for people who have a meniscus injury along with their ACL tear.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having your first (not repeat) ACL reconstruction
- You are between 25 and 50 years old
- You have a meniscus injury along with your ACL injury
- At surgery, they must find a meniscus tear (not just an ACL tear)
- You must not need revision surgery or other reconstruction on the same knee
- You must not have moderate-to-severe depression symptoms (PHQ-9 score must be under 15)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This early-phase study tests whether AM3101 can improve healing of a meniscus tear in the knee. Participants must meet age, scan, and health-lab requirements, and they will be closely followed during recovery to check safety and benefit.
This trial tests whether metformin, a common diabetes medicine, can prevent arthritis after an ACL injury. If you are planning to have ACL surgery soon, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether PRP (platelet-rich plasma) given after an ACL injury and surgery can lower the chance of developing long-term knee arthritis. It may help protect the knee over time by targeting early healing after ACL reconstruction.
This trial tests if injecting platelet-rich plasma (a concentration of your own blood platelets) after ACL reconstruction helps with healing and reduces pain. It's for people who recently had ACL surgery and want to try an extra treatment to improve recovery.
This study tests if the oral medication losartan can reduce scarring after ACL reconstruction surgery. Losartan is a blood pressure drug that may also help prevent scar tissue, potentially improving recovery.
This study tests whether adding a concentrated bone marrow injection during repeat ACL surgery helps healing and recovery better than surgery alone. If you have had a previous ACL reconstruction that failed, you may be eligible.
