Active clinical trials for "Osteoporosis"

HIP50 is a national, multicentre, prospective, observational study, in patients presenting a first low energy per trochanteric hip fracture on one side and treated with Y-STRUT® device implanted on the contralateral proximal femur as percutaneous internal fixation to prevent contralateral hip fracture in case of osteoporosis. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the studied medical device by measuring the frequency of patient with a fracture at the implantation site within 1 year after implantation. A total of 50 patients from France will be enrolled (until December 2020) and followed up to 24 months.

The aim is to compare the effects of clinical pilates and whole body vibration exercises in postmenopausal osteoporotic women on strength, flexibility, balance, bone turnover markers and quality of life.

Organ transplant recipients are known to suffer from bone loss and subsequent fractures after the transplant operation with the most rapid bone loss occurring within the first 3-12 months. Guidelines for prevention and treatment of this serious complication are only written by individual medical societies interested in each organ (separate kidney from liver or heart transplants management) and they are based on studies done with limited medications choices. The majority of studies are done with the use of bisphosphonates, and there are very limited, or no data, on the effect of other medications used for Osteoporosis, including the use of denosumab. This study will focus on the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of denosumab 60mg use early (within first 3 months) after Liver Transplantation in the management of bone loss and prevention of fragility fractures. Different tests will be used to study the effect of the medication on the skeleton, including imaging studies as well as specific labwork.

This study will assess the effectiveness of the allogeneic mesenchymal cell from umbilical cord in improving the quality and quantity of spinal density of osteoporosis patients proven by the results of Bone Mass Density (BMD) examination compared to baseline and evaluate improvement of quality of pain with visual analog scale (VAS).

This is a three-year study to evaluate the effect of sequential therapy of Forteo (teriparatide) and denosumab on bone density at the spine, hip, leg and forearm.

The purpose of this proposal is to determine the long-terms effects of hormone and lifestyle factors on bone health in young women over a 20-year time period. It is our primary hypothesis that premenopausal women with irregular periods or endocrine issues related to estrogen will have significantly poorer low back and hip bone health when compared to regularly menstruating women. It is our secondary hypothesis that long-term assessment of changes in endocrine function and lifestyle behaviors will assist in establishing risk factors for osteoporosis in young women. This study will include 1000 premenopausal women. The women will participate in the collection of a blood sample, bone scan, body fat measures, and lifestyle questionnaires. In addition, we hope to use this initial study to develop a group of women to follow throughout menopause, with additional visits occurring every 5 years over the course of their life.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Osteoporosis, however, may be equally as disabling as COPD, and may impair respiratory function even further if the patient experiences vertebral compressions. In this study, we will survey the prevalence, correlations and effectiveness of intervention of osteoporosis in COPD patients.

The objective is to evaluate the effects on biomarkers and safety of BGS in postmenopausal patients with osteoporosis.

This study will investigate the effect of coral calcium complex supplementation on BMD of osteoporotic individuals either when used alone or in combination with ibandronate. Ibandronate alone will also be tested in comparison to coral calcium supplementation alone or in combination.

The objective of this study is to determine whether patient follow up for osteoporosis is aided using a quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measurement. Using the QUS measurement could potentially improve osteoporosis follow-up rates, and in-office patient measurements have been previously shown to increase compliance with treatment in other conditions. Increased compliance with follow-ups and medication recommendations have been shown to decrease fracture rates in patients with osteoporosis.
