Active clinical trials for "Osteogenesis Imperfecta"

Background: Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a connective tissue disorder. OI affects many aspects of a person s health and growth. It can cause frequent fractures, short stature, and bowing of the long bones. There is no known cure for OI so researchers want to learn more about it. Objectives: To obtain a natural history of the course of OI. To find changes in genes that affect the disease. Eligibility: People from birth to age 12 years with certain types of OI People who previously had childhood data collected in certain other protocols Design: Participants will stay in the clinic for a few days each visit. Visits will be about every 3-4 months to age 5 then about every 6-12 months. Visits may include: Medical history Physical exam Hearing test Dental exam Blood, urine, and heart tests Breathing measured while wearing a clear plastic hood for about 30 minutes Tests of motion, strength, and motor skills X-rays of the left hand, chest, legs, and spine Bone density scan. Participants will lie on a flat table while a very small dose of x-rays is passed through the body. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans. Participants will lie on an exam table that moves in and out a scanner. Breathing tests using stickers on the chest, a light probe on a finger or foot, and a face mask Ultrasound of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder Questionnaires A small section of skin removed from the arm or thigh For some tests, participants may take medicine to make them sleepy. Participants may give separate consent for photos to be taken.

This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study in children 2 to 17 years of age with OI to evaluate efficacy and safety of denosumab.

To evaluate long-term safety of denosumab in children/young adults with pediatric osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) who completed the prior study 20130173 (NCT02352753).

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited disease of the connective tissue. Symptoms are fractures, growth retardation, blue sclera, bad teeth, impaired hearing a.o. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of treatment of adult OI patients with bisphosphonate (zoledronic acid), parathyroid hormone (PTH) or placebo on bone mass, fracture risk and quality of life. The investigators will therefore conduct a double blind, placebo controlled trial, taking genotype and previous antiresorptive therapy into account.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) after 12 months of retreatment with monthly setrusumab in adults with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI).

This study is mainly targeted affected teeth which could not be retained, and patients are willing to undergo implant repair at the later stage. After teeth extraction, Geistlich Bio-Oss ® Particles or Bio-Oss ® Collagen are immediately implanted in the teeth extraction socket and covered with Bio-Gide ® collagen membrane for site preservation.Through postoperative follow-up, postoperative clinical and imaging objective indicators, combined with the subjective evaluation of surgeons and patients, and compared with conventional extraction treatment method, the study is aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different site preservation of alveolar crest preservation, in order to reduce the alveolar bone width and height loss, effectively reduce alveolar bone absorption, or even achieve bone incrementation, thus to get the ideal site preservation effect, to improve the oral implant success rate, improve implant aesthetic score and patient satisfaction, provide more clinical standard reference of the clinical application of site preservation.

The purpose of this study is to select a suitable dose of BPS804 by measuring the strength/quality of bone using a special type of CT scanner. Participants will be treated for 12 months and followed up for a further 12 months.

Pilot study to assess the efficacy of a therapy with the RANKL-antibody denosumab in children 5-10 years of age with mutation in COL1A1 or COL1A2 leading to Osteogenesis imperfecta. Efficacy will be assessed by DXA measurements at the lumbar spine of the areal bone mineral density (BMD) which is the most frequently used parameter in trials investigating osteoporosis. The hypothesis of the study is: Osteoclastic activity which is increased in OI could be reduced by inhibition of osteoclast maturation. Denosumab inhibits maturation of the osteoclasts by inhibiting RANKL. BMD could be increased during a 36 week treatment course with denosumab measured after 48 weeks.

This is a randomized, open label intra-patient dose escalation study to evaluate safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of BPS804 in adults with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Pharmacodynamic effect will be determined by serological biomarkers and radiologic assessments. In addition, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) will be evaluated.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disease for which there is currently no known cure. OI causes the osteoblasts (bone-forming cells in the body) to grow poorly, which slows the growth of children with the disease and causes their bones to bend and break easily. Some forms of osteogenesis imperfecta may cause severe disability and even death. In previous research studies performed at St. Jude, it was found that children treated with bone marrow transplant (infusion of healthy immature blood-forming cells) began to grow faster, had more minerals (material that helps make the bones strong) in their bones, and broke their bones less often than before the bone marrow transplant. Several months after the bone marrow transplant however, body growth once again began to slow down. In this research study, children with osteogenesis imperfecta will receive another infusion of bone marrow cells but without any chemotherapy. The marrow cells will come from the same bone marrow donor as their previous bone marrow transplant. It is hoped that by removing the CD3+ cells (a type of white blood cells that attack other cells that are not like themselves) from the donated bone marrow, the subject's body will be infused quite safely and that body growth and bone strength will increase. The CD3+ cells will be removed from the donor bone marrow by use of a machine called the CliniMACS System. This machine has not been approved for use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The use of this device is considered experimental.
