Active clinical trials for "Osteoporosis"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of Risedronate, cholecalciferol combination tablet in patients with Osteoporosis.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of AK156 in Japanese patients with primary osteoporosis.

The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment is effective in preventing fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

The purpose of this study is to assess how effective and safe denosumab is in a population of males with low bone mass at risk of fracture. The primary clinical hypothesis is that in men with low bone mineral density, the mean percent change in lumbar spine bone mineral density at 12 months in subjects receiving denosumab will be greater than in subjects receiving placebo. Denosumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody with a high affinity for Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor (RANK) Ligand that can bind and neutralize the activity of human RANK Ligand similar to the action of endogenous osteoprotegerin.

This study is designed to provide information about the bone-anabolic response of PTH134 when administered orally, in comparison to Forsteo®, the sub-cutaneous form of teriparatide, the active ingredient in PTH134.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in marked acute loss of bone. This study evaluates the effect of teriparatide (PTH) and the use of vibration as a form of mechanical stimulation on bone mass.

This 1-year open-label extension to CZOL446H2337 is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of zoledronic acid twice yearly in osteoporotic children treated with glucocorticoids.

Recent studies suggest that the combination of two inhibitors of bone resorption may induce a greater increase in bone mineral density (BMD) than either agent alone. In this 5-year partly randomized study the investigators examined the effects of hormone therapy (HT) with or without bisphosphonate on BMD on osteoporotic women. In the Kuopio Osteoporosis Study (OSTPRE) a population based sample of 3200 women were selected for BMD measurement by Lunar DPX in 1995-1997. In all 167 women aged 61±2.7 years (11±4.9 years postmenopausal), and the T-score < -2.5 SD at either the lumbar spine or femoral neck were recruited for this sub-study. They received daily estradiol hemihydrate (E2) 2mg + norethisterone acetate (NETA) 1mg (Kliogest®, Novo Nordisk, Denmark) and were randomized to get additional Boneplac, which consisted of either 800mg clodronate (Bonefos®, Leiras Ltd, Finland) (n=55, KB-group) or placebo (n=55, K-group). In case of contraindications or refusal from HT, the women were offered clodronate 800 mg/day (n=57, B-group) to be taken to empty stomach with a glass of water 30 minutes to two hours before breakfast. BMD was measured at time intervals 0, 1, 3 and 5-years. All repeated BMD values were interviewed by one investigator and primarily the vertebrae L2-L4 were followed. In case of spinal deformities during the study (38.3%) other lumbar levels were followed. The baseline BMD values (lumbar spine BMD 0.839±0.072 g/cm², femoral neck BMD 0.759±0.094g/cm²) were similar between the groups.

This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of zoledronic acid compared to placebo in osteoporotic children treated with glucocorticoids

The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that growth hormone, administered daily by subcutaneous injection for 2 years will result in a significantly greater BMD Z-score over optimal standard therapy.
