Active clinical trials for "Osteoporosis"

To investigate the safety and tolerability, PK and PD of SB751689 following single and 5-day multiple oral doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg in Japanese postmenopausal subjects.

OSTEOFORM, containing recombinant (rhPTH [1-34]), enhances bone mineral density and reduces risk for vertebral fracture. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of OSTEOFORM in the treatment of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women.

A study to asses the safety and efficacy of MK0429 in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

The primary objective was to describe the safety and tolerability of up to 10 years or 7 years denosumab administration as measured by adverse event monitoring, immunogenicity and safety laboratory parameters in participants who previously received denosumab or placebo, respectively.

This study is a double-blind placebo-controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of raloxifene in the prevention of bone mineral density loss in patients receiving long term corticosteroids.

This study is to evaluate and compare the effects of Alendronate and Risedronate to treat women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. The primary hypothesis for this study is that in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, treatment with oral alendronate 70 mg once weekly will produce a mean percent increase from baseline in hip trochanter bone mineral density (BMD) at 12 and 24 months which is greater than that observed with oral risedronate 35 mg once weekly.

This study is to assess the safety and tolerability of MK0217 being evaluated to treat women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of "Bisphosphonate Therapy for Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI)." We, the researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine, are characterizing the changes effected by oral bisphosphonate therapy and comparing them to a regimen of intravenous bisphosphonate therapy in a group of children with OI and also in children with other disorders that result in low bone mass and fractures.

HORIZON-PFT (Pivotal Fracture Trial) will study the effect of zoledronic acid, given once per year, on the treatment of osteoporosis in women past menopause. Hip and vertebral fractures are the most devastating consequences of osteoporosis. HORIZON-PFT is designed to determine the benefits of zoledronic acid in fracture reduction at both the hip and spine.

The intake of high doses of corticosteroids is known to play an important role in the weakening of the bones and is thus an increasing fracture risk. Zoledronic acid (Aclasta) is a drug known for its protective effect in some bone diseases (tumors, paget). This study will test the safety and efficacy of zoledronic acid in the prevention and treatment of corticosteroid induced osteoporosis in male and female patients.
