Filter by: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.
The purpose of the study is to learn if one year of treatment with parathyroid hormone (PTH), either alone or with risedronate, will increase the thickness of the bones in the hip and spine in subjects with osteoporosis from chronic low dose steroid use. During the second year, the study will also look at whether taking risedronate will preserve the bone thickness created by one year of rhPTH 1-34 treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ONO-5920 in patients with involutional osteoporosis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ONO-5920 in patients with involutional osteoporosis.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of standard medical therapy alone to kyphoplasty using the KyphX system for the treatment of acute vertebral body compression fractures.
This study is evaluating the use of the drug alendronate in preventing or reversing bone loss in children and adolescents receiving steroid medications.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether bazedoxifene acetate is safe and effective in the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
Administration of vitamin D 50,000 units once monthly will: - Maintain serum 25-OH vitamin D above 20 ng/ml - Reduce falls - Increase calcaneal BMD - Reduce bone turnover - Be well tolerated: volunteers will not develop hypercalcemia - Improve performance on a swallowing quality of life questionnaire
The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of combining exercise training (i.e. weight lifting and walking) and dietary supplementation with a soy-based nutritional supplement for increasing bone mineral density. We hypothesize that the exercise training and soy-based supplement will be additive for increasing bone mineral density.
