Breast CancerLow Bone Mineral Density1 moreThe purpose of this trial is to evaluate AMG 162 in the treatment of bone loss in subjects undergoing Aromatase Inhibitor Therapy for Non-metastatic Breast Cancer.
Zoledronic Acid in the Prevention of Cancer Treatment Related Bone Loss in Postmenopausal Women...
Bone LossBreast CancerPost-menopausal breast cancer patients will receive letrozole 2.5 mg daily for the treatment of breast cancer and will be randomized to a treatment group to receive either upfront zoledronic acid 4 mg IV 15-minute infusion every 6 months or delayed start zoledronic acid 4 mg IV 15-minute infusion every 6 months. Delayed start zoledronic acid will be initiated when either the Bone Mineral Density T-score is below -2 Standard Deviations at either the lumbar spine or hip or any clinical fracture unrelated to trauma or an asymptomatic fracture discovered at the month 36 scheduled visit. Letrozole 2.5 mg will be given daily for 5 years.
Study Evaluating ASTRA TECH Implant System, OsseoSpeed™ Implants in the Upper Jaw in Women With...
Postmenopausal OsteoporosisOsteopenia3 moreThe 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.
Effect of Growth Hormone on Bone Metabolism in Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia NervosaOsteopenia2 moreDecreased bone strength is a serious medical problem present in many women with Anorexia Nervosa, or disordered eating. Women with weaker bones are more likely to suffer broken bones than women with normal bone strength. We are investigating whether a hormone that is naturally produced by the human body, called growth hormone, can help strengthen the bones of women with this type of disordered eating.
Osteopenia and Renal Osteodystrophy: Evaluation and Management
OsteopeniaRenal OsteodystrophyThe purpose of this study is to demonstrate whether pamidronate will preserve or increase bone mass in patients with adynamic bone disease, caused by low bone turnover.
Bone Metabolism After Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Surgery (BABS)
Evaluation of Expected Bone Loss After Bariatric SurgeryPossible Prevention of Bone Loss After Surgery by Calcium and Vitamin D SupplementationBariatric surgery leads to rapid weight loss in female and male patients. Less data are available about its impact on bone metabolism. The aim of this study is the investigation of changes in bone mineral density,bone histomorphometric changes, serum bone turnover markers and changes in body fat and muscle composition in patients after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery.
A Multi-center Study to Evaluate Bone Loss, Survival Rate and Stability of SPI Implant
Implant Clinical SurvivalDental Implant Bone LossThe current prospective clinical study's aim is to determine ABT's SPI implant survival rate, crestal interproximal bone resorption during 24 months post implant insertion and to assimilate the drilling sequence during the clinical use of SPI implants.
Can Risedronate Prevent Periprosthetic Bone Loss After Total Hip Arthroplasty
Bone LossCan risedronate given once weekly for 6 months prevent periprosthetic bone loss after uncemented total hip arthroplasty?
Switch From Tenofovir to Raltegravir for Low Bone Mineral Density
HIVOsteopenia2 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine if low bone mineral density (a measurement of how thick and strong bones are) improves in adults with HIV infection who switch their HIV medication tenofovir to another HIV medication raltegravir. Hypothesis:That Bone Mineral Density (BMD) will improve in osteopenic or osteoporotic patients switching from ART including tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (r/PI) to ART including RAL+r/PI.
Denosumab in Metabolic Bone Disease in Chronic Intestinal Failure Patients
Metabolic Bone DiseaseLow bone mineral density (BMD) is commonly reported in patients receiving home parenteral nutrition (HPN). Denosumab represent a new drug, which helped to prevent osteoclast. The aim of the study was to assess its value in chronic intestinal failure patients.
