Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Primary efficacy endpoint: the cumulative incidence of secondary fragility hip
fractures in the contralateral unfractured target hip in the Treated Group
compared to the incidence in the Control Group.
Primary safety evaluation: the incidence of all Adverse Events and all Serious
Adverse Events in the Treated Group relative to the incidence in the Control
Group until the primary efficacy endpoint is reached.
Secondary outcome
1. Total hip areal bone mineral density (aBMD) in target hips of the Treated
Group is significantly greater than that of the Control Group at 1 year for all
subjects who have achieved 1 year of follow-up by the end of enrollment.
2. Total hip areal bone mineral density (aBMD) in target hips of the Treated
Group is significantly greater than that of the Control Group at 2 years for
all subjects who have achieved 2 years of follow-up by the end of enrollment.
3. Bone quality as measured by Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) in target hips of
the Treated Group is significantly greater than that of the Control Group at 2
years for all subjects who have achieved 2 years of follow-up by the end of
enrollment.
4. Bone quality as measured by Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) in target hips of
the Treated Group is significantly greater than that of the Control Group at 1
year for all subjects who have achieved 1 year of follow-up by the end of
enrollment.
Background summary
Fragility fractures of the hip (i.e. a fracture resulting from low-energy
trauma, such as a fall from standing height) are associated with significant
morbidity and mortality, and represent a significant burden on affected
individuals, families, and healthcare systems. Although multiple factors
contribute to hip fracture risk, a key factor is osteoporosis, a disease
characterized by reduced bone mass, particularly in postmenopausal women who
experience more dramatic declines in bone mass than men due to hormonal
differences. The loss of trabecular bone caused by osteoporosis is particularly
problematic in the hip where a fracture results in the highest morbidity of all
fragility fracture locations. The strongest predictors of incident hip
fractures seen were prior fracture of the hip. The risk of a secondary hip
fracture is highest in the months immediately after the index fracture, a
timeframe during which no currently available treatment offers protection. AGN1
LOEP is designed to reduce the risk of secondary contralateral hip fracture by
strengthening the proximal femur. After the AGN1 LOEP treatment, the AGN1
implant material provides immediate strength to the proximal femur51. The AGN1
implant material resorbs over time, with greater than 97% resorbed by one year
with residual AGN1 incorporated into newly formed trabecular bone. AGN1 implant
material resorption is closely coupled to bone formation and as the material
resorbs, new bone is formed. This new bone provides long-term strengthening of
the proximal femur. The underlying hypothesis is that increasing the strength
of the proximal femur will increase the force necessary to fracture the femur
from low-energy trauma such as a fall from standing height.
Study objective
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of AGN1 LOEP to reduce the incidence of
secondary hip fractures in subjects presenting with an index hip fracture and
undergoing hip fracture repair surgery. AGN1 LOEP treatment outcomes will be
compared to a Control Group of subjects not treated with AGN1 LOEP.
Study design
An event driven, randomized, controlled, prospective, single blinded,
multi-national study
Study burden and risks
The intended patient population was identified to optimize the benefit/risk
profile of the therapy. Intended patients are at high risk for a secondary hip
fracture. We estimate that the AGN1 LOEP device effect in reducing the
incidence of secondary hip fracture in the intended patient population will be
80%. This estimate is based on correlations between fracture risk and the
following parameters: 1) BMD, 2) femoral strength, and 3) bone
microarchitecture. Data supporting these correlations are summarized in section
10.1 of the protocol.
There are potential risks associated with study participation, as listed in
section 10.2 of the protocol. For subjects assigned to the Control group, risks
of participation are negligible since they will receive treatment per standard
of care.
Subjects from geriatric (vulnerable) populations are typically at the highest
risk of a fragility hip fracture and, therefore, make up a portion of the
population that is expected to receive the greatest benefit from the AGN1 LOEP
treatment. Thus, inclusion of these subjects is necessary to accurately assess
the potential benefit of treatment with AGN1 LOEP.
The burden and risks of study participation is deemed in balance with the
expected benefits.

Inclusion criteria
1. Subject is a postmenopausal female at least 1-year post menses and at least 65 years of age. 2. Subject presents with a low-energy index fragility hip fracture in one hip and will undergo surgical repair of the fractured hip. 3. Subject has at least one of the following additional risk factors for a secondary hip fracture (as determined by subject interview or legally authorized representative (LAR) interview or medical record review): • Documented falls assessment indicating subject is at moderate or high risk of falls • Falls history (2 or more falls in the previous 12 months) • History of vertigo, dizziness, or postural hypotension • Documented T-score < -2.5 at the hip • Taking more than 3 daily prescription medications • Visual impairment as confirmed by one of the following: o Subject reports difficulty seeing o Lack of depth perception or vision loss in one eye o Macular degeneration o Cataracts • Prior non-hip fragility fracture • Cognitive frailty as assessed by SPMSQ (mild cognitive impairment), memory problems, or delirium • Parkinson*s disease stage 3 or 4 • 10-year hip fracture probability >15% using the FRAX® Fracture Risk Assessment Tool of the clinical site country 4. Subject is expected to be ambulatory after the hip fracture repair procedure. 5. Informed consent is provided by the subject or the subject*s LAR 6. The subject*s willingness, ability, and commitment to participate in screening, treatment, and all follow-up evaluations for the full duration of the study has been documented.
Exclusion criteria
1. Subject hospital admission is > 24 hours from the time of the index hip fracture. 2. Subject was dependent on the use of a wheel-chair or was bedridden prior to the index hip fracture. 3. Subject is currently enrolled in another interventional clinical study. 4. Subject has a history of hip surgery or previous hip fracture on the target unfractured hip contralateral to the index hip fracture. 5.
