Active clinical trials for "Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal"

To see if using teriparatide for 12 months will increase Bone Mineral Density at the lumbar spine in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis

This study will evaluate the effects of zoledronic acid 5 mg infusion on BMD and biochemical markers of bone in post-menopausal osteoporotic patients aged between 50-65.

This study will evaluate whether the once weekly administration of the combination tablet alendronate/vitamin D3 (FOSAMAX PLUS) will increase lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) more than the daily use of calcitriol.

Efficacy: To investigate changes of structural bone properties in vivo using 3DpQCT ("Xtreme" CT, Scanco) in monthly oral ibandronate therapy for women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Major structural bone parameters which determine bone strength and predict fracture risk earlier and more precisely are measurable in vivo by 3DpQCT. Safety: To assess the tolerability and safety of ibandronate therapy

The main purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of three week daily subcutaneous injections of Parathyroid Hormone-related Protein (1-36). Previous studies indicated that PTHrP has a skeletal 'anabolic' or bone-building effect, and has shown to increase bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Safety of PTHrP will be determined by measurements of blood pressure and pulse, serum blood calcium levels and subjective symptoms. Effectiveness will be measured by changes in measurements of blood and urine markers of bone turnover.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of denosumab in treating women with Postmenopausal Osteoporosis.

This 2 arm study will assess the long-term efficacy and safety of oral treatment with 100mg or 150mg Bonviva in women with post-menopausal osteoporosis who have previously completed Bonviva study BM16549 (MOBILE study). Patients will receive Bonviva either 100mg po monthly, or 150mg po monthly. Patients will also receive daily supplementation with vitamin D and calcium. The anticipated time of study treatment is 2+ years, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.

Effects of Teriparatide in Postmenopausal Women Previously Treated with Alendronate or Raloxifene.

In contrast with bisphosphonates,discontinuation of denosumab results in gradual loss of bone mineral density gains. The investigators aim to evaluate whether in patients treated with denosumab, a single zoledronic acid infusion would prevent the anticipated bone loss.

This 2 arm study will assess the impact of bone marker feedback (BMF), using serum carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks (CTX) and communication of results at 3 months, on adherence to once monthly ibandronate (150 milligrams [mg] per oral [po]) in women with post-menopausal osteoporosis supported by patient-relationship program (PRP). Participants will be randomized either to receive BMF or no BMF; both groups will be supported by PRP. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months.
