Losartan for better recovery after multi-ligament knee injury
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if losartan, a blood pressure medication, can improve healing and recovery after surgery for a multi-ligament knee injury. Taking losartan for 30 days after surgery may reduce stiffness and help you get back to your normal activities sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have torn two or more major knee ligaments completely (a multi-ligament knee injury)
- You have had surgery to repair or reconstruct at least one of those torn ligaments
- You are willing to follow the study plan, including taking the study drug and attending follow-up visits
- You are not allergic to losartan or any of its ingredients
- You are not pregnant and, if you can become pregnant, you agree to use effective birth control while taking losartan
- You do not have severe kidney or liver problems, low blood pressure, or high potassium levels, and you have not had knee ligament surgery on the same knee before

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.
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 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 losartan, a blood pressure medicine, can prevent excessive scar tissue (arthrofibrosis) after a total knee replacement. Participants receive losartan or a placebo for 6 months after surgery to see if it improves knee motion and reduces stiffness.
This trial tests if the drug losartan can help the heart recover better after surgery to replace a leaky aortic valve. It may reduce strain on the heart and improve long-term outcomes.
This trial tests if losartan, a common blood pressure medicine, can help reduce corneal scars. It may be an option for adults with a stable corneal scar that has been present for at least one month.
