Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The study objectives are to demonstrate that Core decompression/PREOB® implantation is superior to Core decompression/Placebo implantation in relieving clinical hip symptoms and halting (or reverting) radiological progression (to fractural stages III or higher) at 24 months. Patients will be assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC®) Index. Central radiological evaluation will include conventional bilateral X-ray and MRI of the hips to assess ARCO Staging and to measure the sum of the coronal and sagittal necrotic angles.;Secondary Objective: Exploratory Efficacy Endpoints include • Change from baseline in necrotic lesion of the treated hip volume as assessed by MRI • Radiological evolution of contralateral hip over time as assessed by conventional X-ray • Assessment of serum biomarkers • Impact of osteonecrosis etiology: corticoid-induced, alcohol abuse, or idiopathic forms of osteonecrosis ;Primary end point(s): Primary Efficacy Endpoints • Change form baseline in WOMAC® VA3.1 pain susbcale score, and • Percentage of patients progressing to fractural stages (ARCO III or higher) as assessed by conventional X-ray Safety Endpoints During the whole study, subjects will be systematically assessed for the potential occurrence of any AE or SAE, related to the product or related to the procedure, using patient interview, physical examination (including body mass index and vital signs), and laboratory measurements.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Primary Efficacy Endpoints: at month 24 Safety endpoints: at every visit, up to month 48

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary Efficacy Endpoints • Change from baseline in WOMAC® VA3.1 total score and composite pain, stiffness, and function subscales scores • Percentage of patients progressing to fractural stages (ARCO stage III or higher), as assessed by conventional X-ray • Time to hip fracture • Time to arthroplasty • Percentage of patients requiring hip arthroplasty ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Secondary Efficacy Endpoints: up to month 24
