Active clinical trials for "Osteoporosis"

The purpose of this study is to determine which of two delivery methods of Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) is preferred by patients after 14 days of use for each.

Thyroid hormone is a key regulatory hormone for a range of physiological systems, including the skeleton. Previous studies have suggested that subclinical thyroid dysfunction (SCTD) may be associated with deleterious skeletal effects. However, controversy persists on the clinical relevance of SCTD as well as on optimal thresholds for treatment. Available data have substantial limitations: 1) limited prospective data are available to assess the associations between SCTD and non-cardiovascular outcomes, such as fractures 2) lack of data from large RCTs to investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms of associations between thyroid hormone and bone loss. The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism and thyroid hormone replacement in regard to skeletal fragility, bone mineral density (BMD), bone loss and metabolism, and the risk of fractures in elderly participants. The listed parameters will be assessed by dual energy X ray absorptiometry (DXA) and novel bone imaging techniques at baseline, at 1 year of follow-up. The study will be nested in the TRUST trial (clinicaltrials.gov ID: NCT01660126), and will make use of its study infrastructure to determine bone biomarkers from biospecimens at baseline, and at 1 year of follow-up from 145 Swiss participants with persistent subclinical hypothyroidism randomized to either thyroxine or placebo in Bern and Lausanne.

This is a Monocentric, Prospective, Randomized, Open-label, Comparative, Phase IV Study, to compare the effects of Vildagliptin and Gliclazide MR on Markers of Bone Remodeling, Bone Mineral Density and Glycemic Variability in Postmenopausal Women with Type 2 Diabetes. A total of 38 women with documented Type 2 Diabetes and menopause will be enrolled. The active treatment will include a 50 mg dose of vildagliptin OD twice a day. As comparator, gliclazide MR will be administered at a dose of 60 to 120 mg OD once a day.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Efficacy and the Safety of Monthly(RisenexM group) versus Weekly Oral risedronate(Risenexsplus group) in Korean postmenopausal osteoporotic women(Phase IV)

The goal of this study is to perform the first fracture reduction clinical trial with a potent antiresorptive agent (intravenous zoledronic acid) in the most vulnerable long-term care population.

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, phase III clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Dp-R206 and Bonviva for 16 weeks once a month on the improvement of vitamin D in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

This study investigates the effect of zeolite on bone mineral metabolism. The clinical parameters include bone mineral density, bone remodelling markers, fractures and fallings, the subjective evaluation of the overall health status and intensity of the musculoskeletal pain measured by VAS.

The purpose of this research study is to find out if denosumab (Prolia®), an injection given in the arm under the skin every 6 months, works to treat bone loss and prevent it from worsening in older men and women (ages 65 and older) who have osteoporosis and reside in long-term care (LTC) facilities.

The objective of this study is to measure the early effects of abaloparatide on tissue-based bone formation using samples obtained by transiliac crest bone biopsy after quadruple fluorochrome labeling.

CMAB807 is a human monoclonal antibody targeting the key bone resorption mediator RANKL. The drug is administered via subcutaneous injection once six months and is approved for various indications, including the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at increased/high risk of fracture. This phase 1 clincical study investigates the pharmacokinetics, safety and immnogenicity of CMAB807,compared to prolia®, in healthy Chinese male subjects.
