Filter by:Tibolone 1.25 mg is an effective treatment for the prevention of osteoporosis and is expected to be effective in preventing fractures in osteoporotic women. Tibolone could be more acceptable for long-term use, in particular since it does not induce a regular withdrawal bleed. The objective of this trial is to compare placebo and tibolone, a steroid with tissue specific activity, in the prevention of spinal fractures in women meeting the WHO criteria for osteoporosis or who have asymptomatic vertebral fractures.
The primary objective is to evaluate the adherence of subjects to subcutaneous (SC) 60 mg denosumab every 6 months (Q6M) treatment compared to oral 70 mg alendronate once a week (QW) treatment at the end of treatment period 1 (12 months).
The objectives of the study are - to describe the quality of life at the beginning of the Preotact® treatment and at the end of the observational period (Qualeffo-41 questionnaire) - pain assessment at the beginning of the Preotact® treatment and at the end of the observational period (VAS score) - to describe bone mineral density at the beginning of the Preotact® treatment and at the end of the observational period (T-Score) - to describe incidence of bone fractures caused by osteoporosis as well as of other pathological findings of the skeleton after the beginning of the Preotact® treatment - to describe serum level of calcium and the bone resorption marker desoxypyridinoline (DPD) and N- respectively C-terminal crosslink-telopeptide (CTX and NTX) at the beginning of the Preotact® treatment and at the end of the observational period (only in subgroup of patients, where the physician sees a need to measure these parameters) - to document all adverse drug reactions after the beginning of the Preotact® treatment - the analysis of subgroups with different risk for bone fractures caused by osteoporosis at the beginning of the Preotact® treatment - to assess the manageability and functioning of the Pen system for injection of Preotact® (self administered questionnaire)
The purpose of this study is to compare the immunogenicity profiles of denosumab pre-filled syringe (PFS) and vial at 6 months in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density (BMD).
Osteoporosis is a very frequent and easily treatable disease. Rates of treatment of affected patients is very low, as few high risk patients initiate treatment and only a minority of those pursue treatment for long enough time to prevent fractures. Patients presenting a fragility fracture after 50 years of age are at high risk of osteoporosis and may represent the ideal group of patients in which intervention aimed at improving initiation and persistence on treatment will be most effective. Our first hypothesis is that the availability of a dedicated nurse practitioner to identify patients with fragility fractures among patients presenting at fracture clinics of orthopedic surgeons will increase markedly the rate of identification of osteoporosis. Our second hypothesis is that giving to both the patient and its primary health practitioner (PHP) the patient's clinical, biological and radiological data along with individualized care suggestions will yield significantly better results than giving to the patient and its PHP generic information on osteoporosis risk, investigation and treatment.
This study will examine the effects of altering gastric pH in healthy volunteers on the pharmacokinetics of SB-751689 with or without food.
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy and safety of OPC-249 by once daily inhalation at 0 (placebo), 30, 60 or 120 IU for 4 weeks in patients with pain due to osteoporosis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the changes in bone structure as determined by magnetic resonance imaging measurements among early postmenopausal women after 24 months of treatment with alendronate, 70 mg once a week as compared to placebo
The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that teriparatide is superior to the active comparator in the change from baseline to 18 months of lumbar spine volumetric trabecular bone mineral density (BMD) in males with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.
This 3 arm study will evaluate renal safety after administration of an intravenous (iv) injection or infusion of Bonviva, compared to oral alendronate, in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis, at increased risk of renal disease. Patients will be randomized to receive Bonviva 3mg intravenous (iv) by a) injection or b) infusion once every 3 months, or alendronate 70mg per oral (po) weekly. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
