Active clinical trials for "Osteoporosis"

OSTEOFORM, containing recombinant (rhPTH [1-34]), enhances bone mineral density and reduces risk for vertebral fracture. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of OSTEOFORM in the treatment of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women.

Compare in postmenopausal women with established osteoporosis the effect of treatment with teriparatide 20 micrograms/day subcutaneous with the effect of salmon calcitonin 100 IU/day subcutaneous on change in lumbar spine BMD.

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and exposure of SB-751689 when administered alone at supratherapeutic doses and when SB-751689 is co administered with ketoconazole, a PGP/CYP3A4 inhibitor that increases exposure of SB-751689. Data from this study will enable the planning and conduct of a QTc study for SB-751689.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of several doses of vitamin D on hormones related to bone, calcium absorption, bone density and muscle strength.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the adequacy of zoledronic acid in maintaining bone mass after two years of treatment with Forteo, in postmenopausal women.

This study is a double-blind placebo-controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of raloxifene in the prevention of bone mineral density loss in patients receiving long term corticosteroids.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of arzoxifene to raloxifene on the bone mineral density (bone strength).

This 2 arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous Bonviva in patients with osteoporosis experiencing pain after recent vertebral osteoporotic fracture. Patients will be randomized to receive either Bonviva (3mg i.v. bolus injection) or placebo. The anticipated time on study treatment is <3 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

The intake of high doses of corticosteroids is known to play an important role in the weakening of the bones and is thus an increasing fracture risk. Zoledronic acid (Aclasta) is a drug known for its protective effect in some bone diseases (tumors, paget). This study will test the safety and efficacy of zoledronic acid in the prevention and treatment of corticosteroid induced osteoporosis in male and female patients.

This study is to evaluate and compare the effects of Alendronate and Risedronate to treat women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. The primary hypothesis for this study is that in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, treatment with oral alendronate 70 mg once weekly will produce a mean percent increase from baseline in hip trochanter bone mineral density (BMD) at 12 and 24 months which is greater than that observed with oral risedronate 35 mg once weekly.
