Muscle strength drug after hip fracture in older adults
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a drug that blocks a protein called RANKL can help older adults regain muscle mass and strength after a hip fracture surgery. It is for people 65 and older who have sarcopenia (muscle loss) and broke their hip from a simple fall.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with sarcopenia (low muscle mass and strength) using specific tests like a muscle scan or grip strength test
- You broke your hip from a low-energy fall (like from standing height) and had surgery to fix it
- You are not on any osteoporosis medications (like bisphosphonates or denosumab) before the study
- You do not have serious health problems like advanced kidney disease, severe dementia, active cancer, or being bedridden

This study tests whether a drug called Denosumab, which is used to treat bone loss, can also help improve muscle strength and mass in older adults who have both osteoporosis and sarcopenia. If you qualify, you would receive the drug and be monitored over time to see if it helps your bones and muscles.
This trial tests if a drug called isomyosamine can reduce inflammation and help older adults recover muscle after breaking their hip or thigh bone. It is for people who are already frail or have signs of inflammation.
This study looks at how muscle loss (sarcopenia) affects recovery after a hip fracture, comparing people of normal weight with those who are obese. It may help doctors better understand who needs extra support during rehabilitation.
This trial looks at how muscle health affects your ability to get back to normal activities after hip replacement surgery for a broken hip or severe arthritis. By using MRI scans and other tests, researchers hope to understand if having less muscle makes recovery harder.
This trial tests an investigational drug called AMC6156 to see if it can help improve muscle mass and strength in older adults with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Participants will also follow exercise and nutrition guidance.
This study looks at whether certain medicines might make muscle loss and falls worse in older adults. If you are 65 or older, have been diagnosed with sarcopenia, and have fallen recently, this trial may help find out if your medications could be improved.
