Active clinical trials for "Osteoporosis"

The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (blood levels) of two teriparatide products, PF708 and Forteo, in healthy subjects.

Total 25(OH)D is currently used as a biomarker of vitamin D status. However, there is some debate as to whether total 25(OH)D is the best marker to use. It has been suggested that free vitamin D may be better because it may be more biologically available. There are also some uncertainties about how we treat vitamin D deficiency. A single dose is attractive because it is certain that the patient has had the dose and there is no requirement for ongoing compliance, but it is still not clear what the best dose is to give. Also, recent studies have highlighted that high dose vitamin D supplementation may increase the risk of falling in older populations. The investigators believe that studying how free vitamin D responds to different bolus doses is the best way address some of the current research gaps, including what is the best biomarker of vitamin D status, what is the mechanism of vitamin D toxicity and what is a safe bolus dose to treat deficiency. The investigators will study changes in total and free 25(OH)D, and also clinical response, to three different bolus doses of vitamin D (50 000IU, 150 000IU and 500 000IU) in 84 vitamin D deficient postmenopausal women, over a three month period with 5 study visits. A concurrent control group of 28 vitamin D sufficient postmenopausal women will also be recruited. This will allow the investigators to determine how total and free vitamin D change with bolus dosing and whether there is a disproportionate rise in free 25(OH)D with higher doses that may lead to hypercalcemia and falls.

This study will investigate participant satisfaction (including compliance, preference, tolerability) with once-monthly Bonviva in women with post-menopausal osteoporosis or osteopenia transitioned from once-weekly alendronate or risedronate. The anticipated time on study treatment is 6 months, and the target sample size is 1776 individuals.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of intravenous infusion of fucosylated autologous bone marrow cells as a new therapy in patients with established osteoporosis by a prospective, single-center, open, non-randomized and unblinded clinical trial.

According to the World Health Organization criteria, osteoporosis was defined as a bone mineral density that lies 2.5 standard deviations or more below the average value for young healthy women. Osteoporosis is a major cause of fractures and can lead to serious complications in postmenopausal women. For this reason, approaches to prevent the appearance and progression of osteoporosis are of primary importance. This randomized clinical trial analyzes the effects of two types of physical exercise oriented to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women with pharmacological supplements of Calcium and Vitamin-D.

The study measures change in bone mineral density by the DEXA scan before and two or more years after beginning ten minutes of daily yoga designed to put pressure on the spine, hips and femur.

The study is designed to evaluate if treatment with romosozumab once a month for 12 months compared with placebo is effective in increasing bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine. Additionally, the study will assess the effect of treatment with romosozumab for 12 months compared with placebo on BMD at the femoral neck and total hip.

We investigated the effects of whole body vibration (WBV) and high-impact (HI) exercises in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density. In summary, WBV exercises are effective in preventing bone loss and WBV and HI exercise programs are effective in decreasing fall risk, increasing health-related quality of life and improving depressive symptoms

This study aims to investigate the effects of SHR-1222 on vascular inflammatory factors in patients with low bone mass.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of AD-102 in healthy male subjects
