The ACTIVE Trial: A Prospective Randomised Control Trial Of The H1 Implant Versus Total Hip Replacement
- Conditions
- Inflammatory ArthritisOsteoarthritis, Hip
- Interventions
- Device: The H1 ImplantDevice: Cementless total hip replacement
- Registration Number
- NCT06162195
- Lead Sponsor
- Embody Orthopaedic Limited
- Brief Summary
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
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.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Composite clinical success (CCS) 24 months post-operatively The primary outcome is "composite clinical success". This is a binary outcome measure. Patients are deemed to have achieved CCS if they meet all of the following criteria at the 24 month timepoint:
* Modified Harris Hip Score ≥80.
* No revision or pending revision.
* Acetabular radiolucencies: not in all zones.
* Femoral radiolucencies: not in all zones.
* Absence of subsidence/migration of the acetabular or femoral component \>5mm with clinical findings.
* Absence of specific adverse device effects (ADEs) that are pre-cursors to revision of the device, namely:
* Bone breakage around the implanted component(s) (periprosthetic fracture).
* Breakage of the device component.
* Device movement/migration of clinical consequence as defined by associated clinical findings as: a limp; leg length discrepancy; and restricted range of motion.
* Dislocation of the hip joint.
