Finding biomarkers for femoral head bone death
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks for biological signs (biomarkers) that can help identify and understand osteonecrosis of the femoral head—a condition where bone in the hip dies. Researchers hope these signs will improve how doctors diagnose and treat the condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You have suspected or confirmed osteonecrosis of the femoral head (bone death in the hip)
- You do not have a history of hip trauma or injury
- You do not have hip-related fractures or dislocations from trauma
- You are able to complete questionnaires and understand the study
- You can provide informed consent and agree to participate

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether injecting your own bone marrow into the hip can help heal early-stage osteonecrosis (bone death) before the bone collapses. It is for people who have not had prior hip surgery and do not have certain conditions like sickle cell disease.
This study is testing a new way to repair the damaged bone in your hip by using your own bone marrow stem cells. You may be a candidate if you have femoral head necrosis (hip bone death) that did not get better with standard treatments and you are otherwise healthy enough for surgery.
This study looks for early signs of osteoarthritis (joint wear and tear) in your blood or other samples. Understanding these markers may help doctors detect and treat osteoarthritis sooner.
This study tests a new treatment using stem cell exosomes injected into the hip joint for people with early-stage non-traumatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head (a condition where bone tissue in the hip dies due to poor blood supply, not caused by injury). The goal is to see if it is safe and may help improve hip function and pain.
This study collects information and samples around the time of certain bone or joint surgeries (like joint replacement or fracture repair) to learn what factors help or harm bone healing. The results may help find better targets to improve long-term bone health and recovery.
This study looks for new markers and treatment targets for osteoporosis by comparing bone tissue from women with a broken hip (due to weak bones) and women getting a hip replacement for arthritis. You may be eligible if you are postmenopausal and have one of these hip conditions.
