Active clinical trials for "Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal"

This is an 18-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase III trial with a 12-month interim analysis of the effect of ALX1-11, recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-84) (rhPTH [1-84]), on fracture incidence in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, the TOP study.

A double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to assess the safety and efficacy of 3 doses of ALX1-11 (recombinant human parathyroid hormone [rhPTH(1-84)])(50, 75 and 100 µg) in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of ALX1-11 (50, 75 and 100 µg) with that of placebo in terms of increasing vertebral bone mineral density, when given daily by subcutaneous injection for 12 months in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

The aim of this study is to directly compare the bone forming effects of 20 microg/day of teriparatide with those of 2 g/day strontium ranelate as measured by the histomorphometric variables and biochemical bone formation markers after 6 months of therapy in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

To compare the effect of treatment with teriparatide with that of salmon calcitonin in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate a reduction in the proportion of new vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis following 3-years of treatment with 20 and 40 mcg/day of teriparatide plus calcium and vitamin D compared with calcium and vitamin D alone.

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy study designed to compare the effects of risedronate, raloxifene, and placebo on BMD, bone turnover markers, and other markers of anabolic activity in postmenopausal women who previously received HRT.

This is a phase I study to analyze bioavailability and pharmacodynamic of two different variants of oral salmon calcitonin (SMC021) in postmenopausal women

This study is structured to estimate the effect of denosumab, compared to placebo and alendronate, on several bone parameters.

The purpose of the study is to determine if daily teriparatide reduces back pain more effectively than weekly risedronate in women with osteoporosis who have chronic back pain due to a spinal bone fracture.

Skeletal buffering of chronic acid loads may contribute to a significant amount of bone loss over time. Evidence from a few small short-term studies suggests that basic compounds, namely potassium citrate and potassium bicarbonate may reduce bone loss and improve bone density. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of potassium citrate on bone metabolism. We hypothesize that administration of potassium citrate to postmenopausal women with osteopenia will reduce bone resorption and improve bone mineral density. Postmenopausal women with osteopenia (T score between -1.0 and -2.5) and no history of fracture will be randomized to either daily potassium citrate or placebo for one year. Primary outcomes will be markers of bone turnover, which will be measured over 12 months. Secondary outcomes will be bone mineral density, compliance, and adverse events.
