Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of arzoxifene to raloxifene on the bone mineral density (bone strength).
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 study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of transitioning postmenopausal women on current alendronate therapy to denosumab. Endpoints studied will include bone mineral density, bone turnover markers and bone histology in a subset of subjects.
Study consists of an eight day inpatient visit on the General Clinical Research Center. The investigators' specific aims are to: 1. To define the maximum safe dose of a seven day continuous administration of parathyroid hormone [PTH(1-34)] in healthy human volunteers. 2. To estimate the effect of a seven day continuous administration of PTH in escalating doses on vitamin D metabolism, markers of bone turnover and fractional excretion of urine.
This 2 arm crossover study will evaluate patient reported preference for either once monthly Boniva (150mg p.o.) or once weekly risedronate (35mg p.o.). Patients with post-menopausal osteoporosis will be randomized to receive Boniva for 3 calendar months or risedronate for 12 weeks; they will then cross over to receive the alternative treatment for a further 12 weeks/3 months. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether zoledronic acid given intravenously every 6 months can prevent reduction in bone mineral density in women with early stage breast cancer receiving adjuvant therapy with the aromatase inhibitor drug letrozole, after having received adjuvant tamoxifen.
To determine and compare the effects of Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), etidronate, HRT plus etidronate and no treatment over 5 years in the prevention and treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis and fractures in post-menopausal women with asthma.
The efficacy of risedronate in prevention of bone loss in patients receiving high dose corticosteroid treatment
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.
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as bone mineral density testing and x-ray, help measure bone loss in women receiving treatment for breast cancer. The test results may help doctors plan better treatment. PURPOSE: This phase III trial is studying bone density and bone loss in postmenopausal women with breast cancer receiving treatment in clinical trial IBCSG-1-98.
