Active clinical trials for "Osteoporosis"

This is an interventional study on nutraceuticals. It is a randomized controlled, open-label, prospective, single-center study that involves the enrollment of 82 patients with osteoporosis and 41 subjects without osteoporosis. The hypothesis the decarboxylated form of Osteocalcin (OC), called GluOC, represents a clinically useful marker for monitoring the effects of supplementation with vitamin K in association with anabolic treatment with teriparatide will be analyzed not only on bone but also on skeletal muscle and energy metabolism in patients with severe osteoporosis.

The investigator hypothesizes that treating osteoporotic patients with abaloparatide prior to and after total knee arthroplasty will significantly reduce the amount of bone loss.

This study will help determine the effect of Glucagon Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1)receptor agonists on bone strength in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)

This is a placebo-controlled, single-ascending dose, multicenter Phase I clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and PD characteristics of a single intravenous infusion of TST002 in subjects with reduced bone mineral density.

Lumbar fusion is an accepted and effective technique for the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease. As the population ages, disability associated with spinal pathology and spinal surgery is rapidly increasing and there is a concomitant increase in prevalence of osteoporosis which is a detrimental factor for Lumbar fusion and instrumentation. Osteoporosis-related bone fragility is a primary reason for spinal fusion failure, implant fixation failure, and vertebral compression fractures above or below the fusion sites. Denosumab is a human monoclonal antibody against RANKL, it inhibits osteoclast mediated bone destruction and has been found to be effective in treating osteoporosis, including reducing bone turnover markers, increasing bone mineral density (BMD), and reducing fractures. But few studies focus on the effects of Denosumab on lumbar fusion. In this study, we include osteoporotic patients with lumbar degenerative disease who have had lumbar interbody fusion surgery. The patients were randomized to either treatment of Denosumab or no treatment. All these patients are followed at 3, 6, 9, 12 months postoperation. During these periods, we detect bone metabolism and bone fusion of these patients. Finally, we would report whether Denosumab can improve bone metabolism and promote bone fusion or not.

The aims of ZOLARMAB2 are fourfold. First, the investigators want to investigate if multiple infusions of zoledronate can prevent the rebound activation of bone turnover and the subsequent bone loss in patients previously treated with denosumab and if there is difference between infusing zoledronate at fixed time-points after the last injection of denosumab or when bone turnover is increased. Second, the investigators want to investigate if bone loss will resume after controlling the rebound activation of bone turnover during the first year after denosumab discontinuation and if this can be prevented by yearly infusions of zoledronate. Third, the investigators want to investigate the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms by investigating biochemical markers, osteoclast and osteoblast activation signals in the bone and bone marrow, and the pool of preosteoclasts/mature osteoclasts before and after treatment with zoledronate. Fourth, the investigators want to investigate the effect of denosumab discontinuation on muscle mass and muscle strength and on insulin sensitivity.

The goal of this randomized controlled trial] is to investigate the effects of a 12-week time restricted eating (TRE) and exercise combined intervention, as compared to (i) TRE alone, and to (ii) Caloric Restriction (CR) plus the same exercise intervention elicited by the TRE group, on Skeletal muscle tissue (SMT) quantity, quality and function (primary outcome), Resting energy expenditure (REE) and cardiometabolic health (secondary outcomes), and miRNA biomarkers in postmenopausal women with overweight or obesity.

This study aims to prove non-inferiority of the efficacy of Masibone S (alendronate sodium trihydrate 70mg, oral solution) on the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis compared to the efficacy of Fosamax (alendronate sodium 70mg, oral tablet). The effect of Masibone S and Fosamax on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis will be compared and analyzed. This study included a total 170 patients (85 per subgroup) for multi-center, randomized, open-label, parallel clinical trial. The drugs will be maintained for a total of 48 weeks. The primary endpoint is the difference of bone mineral density change at lumbar spine measured by DEXA between two groups.

To determine the safety and efficacy of concomitant sacral fracture fixation and sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion vs. non-surgical management for patients with debilitating sacral fragility or insufficiency fractures

This retrospective prospective study is aimed at studying the level of vitamin D supply and identifying markers of bone tissue remodeling in order to develop approaches to the prevention of osteopenia and osteoporosis in children with congenital epidermolysis bullosa.
