Active clinical trials for "Osteoporosis"

This 2 arm study will assess the impact of bone marker feedback (BMF), using serum carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks (CTX) and communication of results at 3 months, on adherence to once monthly ibandronate (150 milligrams [mg] per oral [po]) in women with post-menopausal osteoporosis supported by patient-relationship program (PRP). Participants will be randomized either to receive BMF or no BMF; both groups will be supported by PRP. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months.

The primary objective of the study is to explore the relationship between a new image technology (ImaTx), that analyzes the trabecular structure of the bone using digitized radiographs and the bone mineral density (BMD) measured by Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) in the lumbar spine of postmenopausal (PM) women with osteoporosis (OP) after treatment with PTH (1-84).

The aim of the project is to determine if milk supplementation during a caloric restriction program facilitates the lost of weight, improves the appetite control and attenuates the decrease of bone mineral content in low-calcium consumer women.

Subject of the proposed study is the non-invasive in vivo imaging of bone, bone marrow and localized microcirculation in test animals with osteoporosis, fractures and after placement of bone substitute material with volume computed tomography (VCT) (animals only) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In vivo imaging by means of functional MRI and VCT is carried out in osteoporotic rats, both after the induction of fracture as well as after the placement of bone substitute material. Furthermore, patients with asymptomatic MM are investigated with functional MR-Imaging (Dynamic Contrast Enhancement- MRI and Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)-imaging) longitudinally to predict the occurrence of osteolysis and the time to progression regarding SLIM-CRAB-Criteria (Rajkumar et al., Lancet Oncology, 2014). Hypothesis: Affection of microcirculation at the junction of bone and bone substitute material can be displayed by VCT and functional MRI Functional MRI has prognostic value regarding occurrence of osteolysis and progression to MM regarding SLIM-CRAB-Criteria

The purpose of this study is to determine whether in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density, the mean percent change in total hip BMD in subjects receiving denosumab is not less than that observed in subjects receiving alendronate sodium by more than a pre-specified non-inferiority margin.

This study is designed to test whether calcium supplementation alone or calcium plus vitamin D reduces the incidence of fractures, reduces high parathyroid secretory activity, and halts bone loss in a population-based sample of women 55+ years of age. A calcium supplement of 1400 mg/d will significantly reduce the cumulative incidence of spine and appendicular fractures over four years for independently living, rural women 55 years of age and older compared to similar women on their usual diets. A calcium supplement of 1400 mg/d plus 1100 IU vitamin D/d will significantly reduce the cumulative incidence of spine and appendicular fractures compared to a calcium supplement only.

This study will test the weighted average inhibition of u-NTx/Cre (aminoterminal crosslinked telopeptide of Type 1 collagen) and AUC (0-168 hours) of Odanacatib

Glucocorticoids are potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents. However, prolonged use of these potent agents results in severe bone loss and osteoporotic fractures. Parathyroid hormone (1-34), when given as a daily injection has been found to dramatically increase bone mass in osteoporotic animals and postmenopausal women. The purpose of this study is to determine whether 2 years of daily PTH (1-34) injections will increase bone mass and reduce the development of new fractures. In addition, we will follow the study subjects for 2 more years to determine which type of anti-resorptive agent is required to maintain the newly formed bone. We are enrolling postmenopausal women that are on chronic corticosteroid therapy (prednisone etc.) and have bone loss (osteopenia by DXA) to be a part of this four-year-long study. The patients will receive two-year therapy with either PTH (1-34) or placebo, and for the second part of the study subjects receive either estrogen and placebo or alendronate and placebo. We will measure bone gain by standard bone densitometry, special x-rays of the spine and hip, and serum and urine bone markers.

A 29 days study to evaluate the usability of the abaloparatide-sMTS

This is a single-center, randomized, open label, single-dose, the original drug controlled, crossover design, two sequence, two periods, Phase Ⅰclinical study. 64 qualified subjects will be randomly assigned to two administration sequences (sequence A and sequence B) at the ratio of 1∶1, with 32 subjects in each sequence. Each period will be given subcutaneous injection once, and the washout period will be 72 hours, and each subject will be given subcutaneous injection twice. Sequence A: the test drug (SAL001) is injected in the first period, and the reference drug (FORSTEO) is injected in the second period. Sequence B: the reference drug (FORSTEO) is injected in the first period, and the test drug (SAL001) is injected in the second period. If the geometric mean ratio (GMR) 90% confidence interval of the major pharmacokinetic indexes (AUC0-t, Cmax) for SAL001 and FORSTEO is between 80.00% and 125.00%, the two drugs are considered to be bioequivalent.
