Active clinical trials for "Osteoporosis"

This is a multi-center, randomized, open-label, parallel group, study being conducted in the United States and in Europe in postmenopausal women. Approximately 800 subjects will be randomized across about 65 sites in a 1:1 ratio to either denosumab 60mg SC Q6M, or ibandronate 150mg PO QM.

This single arm study will assess participant preference for monthly Bonviva, versus daily or weekly alendronate or risedronate, in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Participants currently on a daily or weekly regimen of bisphosphonate therapy (alendronate or risedronate) will answer a questionnaire to identify participants who may benefit from a monthly Bonviva regimen. Eligible participants will then discontinue their present bisphosphonate treatment, and switch to monthly Bonviva 150mg per oral (po). At the beginning and end of Bonviva treatment, all participants will complete an Osteoporosis Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.

Compare subject satisfaction of once a week dosing of 35 mg Risedronate to once daily dosing of 5 mg Risedronate in postmenopausal osteoporotic women. Secondary objectives are to measure compliance (50 % drug taken), and persistence.

The overall objective of the study is to compare treatment with the ASTRA TECH Implant System, OsseoSpeed™ implant in the maxilla of postmenopausal women with and without systemic osteoporosis. The hypothesis is that there will be no difference in marginal bone level alterations between the two groups.

The main purpose of this study is to assess whether a locally-administered rhBMP-2/CPM injection can rapidly increase bone mass in subjects at high risk for osteoporotic fractures of the hip. All subjects will receive standard treatment for low bone mass, consisting of bisphosphonates, calcium, and vitamin D (all taken by mouth). Subjects that are randomly selected to receive treatment with rhBMP-2 will receive an injection directly into the hip. The injection is given in a surgery room using a light anesthesia.

The aim of this study is to determine whether denosumab (an FDA-approved osteoporosis therapy), in combination with teriparatide (an FDA-approved osteoporosis therapy), will increase bone mineral density more than either one alone in postmenopausal osteoporotic women.

Randomized, multicenter, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, parallel-design study in approximately 201 postmenopausal women. A subset of subjects (approximately 102) will also participate in a pharmacokinetic (PK) component of the study. Each subject will be randomized to 1 of 3 treatment regimens for 3 months.

This 2 arm crossover study will evaluate patient reported preference for either once monthly Boniva (150mg p.o.) or once weekly risedronate (35mg p.o.). Patients with post-menopausal osteoporosis will be randomized to receive Boniva for 3 calendar months or risedronate for 12 weeks; they will then cross over to receive the alternative treatment for a further 12 weeks/3 months. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

The purpose of this study is to see how well alendronate and calcium as compared to calcium alone increase bone density in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis

The purpose of this study is to determine how treatment with raloxifene compares to treatment with alendronate in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis on the chance of experiencing fractures
