Filter by:This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study in children 2 to 17 years of age with OI to evaluate efficacy and safety of denosumab.
Alendronate should be considered as an alternative therapy of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) because it significantly increased areal bone mineral density (BMD) and its Z score, decreased fracture incidence, inhibited bone resorption biomarkers. Alendronate exerted beneficial roles in different age brackets, especially in young patients with OI.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of five infusions of characterized HLA-identical MSC in non immunosuppressed children with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI).
Pilot study to assess the efficacy of a therapy with the RANKL-antibody denosumab in children 5-10 years of age with mutation in COL1A1 or COL1A2 leading to Osteogenesis imperfecta. Efficacy will be assessed by DXA measurements at the lumbar spine of the areal bone mineral density (BMD) which is the most frequently used parameter in trials investigating osteoporosis. The hypothesis of the study is: Osteoclastic activity which is increased in OI could be reduced by inhibition of osteoclast maturation. Denosumab inhibits maturation of the osteoclasts by inhibiting RANKL. BMD could be increased during a 36 week treatment course with denosumab measured after 48 weeks.
- Overall Objective: To test the hypothesis that oral vitamin D supplementation at higher than currently prescribed doses has a beneficial effect on the skeleton of young patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). - Specific Aims: 1. To determine whether 12 months of high-dose vitamin D supplementation, compared to standard-dose vitamin D supplementation, increases areal bone mineral density z-scores at the lumbar spine. 2. To examine the effectiveness of high-dose vitamin D supplementation to increase trabecular and cortical bone mineral density at the radius. 3. To examine whether high-dose vitamin D supplementation has an effect on physiological determinants of bone mass (parathyroid hormone, activity of bone metabolism, muscle function). - Background: In a preliminary cross-sectional study of 282 OI patients we observed an inverse relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone levels and a positive relationship between circulating levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and lumbar spine areal bone mineral density z-scores. This suggested that high-dose vitamin D supplementation would have a beneficial effect on bone density. Most OI patients currently receive oral vitamin D supplementation of 400 International Units per day, but doses of 2000 International Units per day are safe and have been shown to be beneficial in studies on healthy adolescents. - Study Design: This is a parallel-group double-blind randomized controlled trial of 12 months duration on 60 children and adolescents aged 6 to 19 years with a clinical diagnosis of OI. One group of 30 participants will be randomized to receive vitamin D3 at a dose of 2000 international units per day ('high-dose group'). The other group of 30 participants will be randomized to receive vitamin D3 at a dose of 400 international units per day ('standard-dose group'). Randomization will be stratified according to pubertal status and bisphosphonate treatment status. - Clinical Relevance: The proposed study aims at direct improvements in the care of OI patients. If a simple and low-cost 'intervention' such as high-dose vitamin D supplementation can be shown to be effective in relieving some of the disease burden associated with OI, the benefit to OI patients worldwide would be substantial.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited disease of the connective tissue. Symptoms are fractures, growth retardation, blue sclera, bad teeth, impaired hearing a.o. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of treatment of adult OI patients with bisphosphonate (zoledronic acid), parathyroid hormone (PTH) or placebo on bone mass, fracture risk and quality of life. The investigators will therefore conduct a double blind, placebo controlled trial, taking genotype and previous antiresorptive therapy into account.
Osteoporosis pseudoglioma (OPPG) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition of childhood osteoporosis and congenital blindness for which new treatments are needed. We have found that body fat is increased in OPPG and muscle mass is reduced. We hypothesize that growth hormone therapy will improve muscle mass and bone strength in OPPG.
This is a randomized, open label intra-patient dose escalation study to evaluate safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of BPS804 in adults with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Pharmacodynamic effect will be determined by serological biomarkers and radiologic assessments. In addition, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) will be evaluated.
This was a pilot study of 10 patients with Osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome (OPPG) from the Old Order Mennonite community and 16 controls, who did not have OPPG. Five of the 10 OPPG patient elected to participate in the Lithium trial and 5 participated only in baseline data (labs, pQCT). The 5 with OPPG who were given lithium for 6 months had both dual energy xray absorptiometry (DXA), peripheral quantitative computerized tomography (pQCT) and lab assessment at baseline and 6 months. Studies in the mouse model of OPPG showed that lithium normalized their bone strength. Controls (n=16) were recruited from the Old Order Mennonite community, to minimize the effects of environmental and lifestyle factors. The controls were not be given lithium. The age range of participants was 4-64 years.
This is a study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of repeated Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSC) infusions to patients with Type II or III osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Participants will receive MSC infusions approximately every 4 months to complete a total of 6 infusions over 20 months. Participants will be followed for 4 months post their last MSC infusion.
