Active clinical trials for "Osteoporosis"

We, the investigators at National Taiwan University Hospital, have determined the therapeutic and toxic effects of the traditional herb on the ovariectomized Wistar rat. The final years will determine its effects on the therapy of women who are over 45 years old and postmenopausal with osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased bone strength and it is prevalent among postmenopausal women but also occurs in men and women with underlying conditions or major risk factors associated with bone demineralization. Its chief clinical manifestations are vertebral and hip fractures, although fractures can occur at any skeletal site.The World Health Organization (WHO) operationally defines osteoporosis as a bone density that falls 2.5 standard deviations (SD) below the mean for young healthy adults of the same gender-also referred to as T-score of -2.5. Postmenopausal women who fall at the lower end of the young normal range (a T-score of >1 SD below the mean) are defined as having low bone density (osteopenia) and are also at increased risk of osteoporosis. More than 50% of the fractures, including hip fractures, among postmenopausal women occur in this group. Teriparatide is one of the most effective treatment options for osteoporosis. But the cost of teriparatide is prohibitively expensive and in countries like India with limited personal resources of the individuals, its not a feasible option in the majority of the patients with severe osteoporosis. The investigators aim to compare weekly versus daily teriparatide therapy in an open label non inferiority trial and if successful, the investigators anticipate, the cost of treatment could be reduced considerably so that treatment becomes more affordable to a larger number of patients. Also with weekly therapy, number of multiple injections could be brought down.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eldecalcitol monotherapy compared with alfacalcidol monotherapy in patients with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, using a randomized, open-label, parallel-group, comparative design.

A phase 1 clinical trail to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic characteristic after administration of fixed-dose combination or loose combination of HUG186 in healthy adult male or menopausal female volunteers

The St JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL set up a fracture liaison service for osteopotic fracture. A specific nurse screens eligible patient admitted in emergency yard and call them to propose a bone densitometry and a medical coverage.. The aim of the study is to evaluate this new organisation

Osteoporosis is a common senile disease with a high incidence. The Chinese medicine differentiation treatment has small side effects and can be taken for a long time, which has certain advantages. This project adopts the experience of the person in charge of the project-Xulin Jiangu Granules and clinically collects patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis (kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome).

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Denosumab 60 mg produced by AryoGen Pharmed and Amgen Denosumab 60 mg among osteoporotic postmenopausal women. Postmenopausal women diagnosed with osteoporosis according to their Bone mineral density result (BMD), aged between 45 to 75 are included in this trial. This is a Phase III, randomized, two armed, double-blind, parallel, active-controlled,non-inferiority clinical trial. The eligible patients are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive Arylia or Prolia® subcutaneous injections, at the beginning of the trial and every 6 months at month 6 and 12, in an 18-month study period. Along with, all women will receive daily supplements containing at least 1000 mg of elemental calcium (divided into two doses) and at least 400 IU vitamin D daily during 18 months of the study. The primary objective of this study is to assess non-inferiority of test- Denosumab 60 mg (Arylia) to the reference Denosumab 60 mg (Prolia®) in terms of efficacy among osteoporotic postmenopausal women. The secondary objectives of this study are: To further compare efficacy of test- Denosumab 60 mg to reference Denosumab 60 mg; To assess the safety of test- Denosumab 60 mg compared to reference Denosumab 60 mg.

This study will assess the pharmacokinetics and safety and explore therapeutic effects with once-weekly recombinant human parathyroid hormone for injection ( 1-34 ) ( G56W1 ) in women with post-menopausal osteoporosis .The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks, and the target sample size is 148 individuals.

This randomized open label clinical trial will evaluate the effect of continued denosumab alone over 18 months versus denosumab with added abaloparatide for 18 months. 70 postmenopausal women will be enrolled over a period of 18 months. The co-primary outcomes will be group differences in bone mineral density (BMD) of the total hip and lumbar spine at 18 months. Secondary outcomes will include group differences in bone mineral density (BMD) at the femoral neck, trochanter and wrist sites at 6, 12 and 18 months, spine and total hip bone mineral density (BMD) at 6 and 12 months and trabecular bone score (TBS) at 18 months. Secondary outcomes will also include within group changes from baseline for each of these variables. Bone turnover markers will also be measured to demonstrate that PINP levels will increase with administration of abaloparatide even in the setting of ongoing denosumab, while CTX levels will remain low.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether increasing blood levels of androgen can reduce some of the side-effects of anti-estrogen therapy (Arimidex)
