Active clinical trials for "Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal"

The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of oral calcitonin (rsCT)tablets in the prevention of bone loss in postmenopausal women with lower bone mineral density at increased risk of fracture. The secondary purpose of this study was to determine if there is any food effect by comparing the efficacy and safety of oral calcitonin tablets administered at dinner or at bedtime.

This study will determine if daily oral intake of 200g of a marketed yogurt with fortified calcium content and a milk basic protein (MBP)80 mg benefits on bone cells activity in postmenopausal women. The efficacy of the product is measured by examining the variation of biochemical markers of bone turnover. MBP 80 is a particular protein contained in milk; it has been added to the yogurt provided for this study. The effects of MBP 80 on the quality of bone tissue have not yet been proven.

This study will compare the bioequivalence of two new investigational combination formulations of Premarin and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) with a currently marketed formulation of Premarin and medroxyprogesterone, Prempro™. Prempro is indicated for use after menopause in women with a uterus to reduce moderate to severe hot flashes; to treat moderate to severe dryness, itching, and burning, in and around the vagina; and to help reduce your chances of getting osteoporosis (thin weak bones). The purpose of this study is to determine if these new formulations of Premarin and MPA provide the same levels of estrogen and MPA in the blood as Prempro in healthy postmenopausal women.

The purpose of this trial is to study the efficacy and safety of low dose of estradiol valerate in the prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Primary Objective: To demonstrate that risedronate 35-mg once weekly is more efficacious than placebo in increasing or maintaining bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine after 1 year of treatment in women who are non-osteoporotic and 0.5-5 years postmenopausal. Secondary objectives: To demonstrate that risedronate 35-mg once weekly is more efficacious than placebo in increasing or maintaining total proximal femur, femoral neck, and trochanter BMD after 1 year of treatment in women who are 0.5-5 years postmenopausal To assess the general safety of 35-mg risedronate administered once weekly.

Both the pathogenesis and the treatment of osteoporosis may potentially interfere at different levels on the multi-stage complex cascade of events involved in bone healing/regeneration. To our knowledge no human studies have been performed to clarify the potential effect of osteoporosis on post-extraction alveolar healing. The primary outcome of the study is to compare alveolar bone changes in width and height 3 months after tooth extraction in 10 post-menopausal osteoporotic women and 10 post menopausal non osteoporotic women by the use of cone-beam computer tomography (CBCT) images. The secondary outcomes considered are: clinical changes in the external contour of the ridge and periodontal parameters in the neighbouring teeth after a tooth extraction and 3 months later. In addition the accuracy of panoramic morphometric indexes in detecting osteoporosis will be measured.

The primary objective of this clinical trial is to test hesperidin with and without CALCILOCK® for bone resorption suppressing effect in postmenopausal women. The secondary objective is the comparison between 41Ca technology and classical biomarker to evaluate bone resorption.

The investigators evaluated the effect of initial periodontal treatment on clinical findings and receptor activator of Nuclear Factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of patients with osteoporosis under bisphosphonate therapy within 12 months' follow-up. Clinical recordings and GCF were obtained from postmenopausal women; with chronic periodontitis and osteoporosis (Group A, n=13), with chronic periodontitis and no osteoporosis (Group B, n=12), without chronic periodontitis and osteoporosis (Group C, n=12), systemically and periodontally healthy controls (Group D, n=10) at the baseline. Recordings were repeated at the 1st, 6th and 12th months in Group A, B and C. RANKL and OPG values were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.

This is a post-marketing drug intensive monitoring surveillance with an observational, non-interventional design. The objectives are to compare the incidence of hypercalcemia in patients with and without calcium intake (including dietary supplements, excepting calcium from meals), and to monitor the type, incidence, severity, and relevance of other adverse drug reactions,including urolithiasis.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a 12-month randomized controlled trial comparing the effects of strength training exercise to stretching and relaxation exercise (control) on body composition (bone, muscle and fat mass), energy balance, bone turnover, and physical function (strength, power, gait, balance and self-report physical function and symptoms) in women who experienced premature menopause from chemotherapy for breast cancer.
