Filter by:The purpose of this study is - to determine the rate of osteoporosis among patients with advanced prostate cancer. - to propose an algorithm for early detection of patients with advanced prostate cancer who are at risk of developing osteoporosis.
Emphasis in treating osteoporosis has been on T-scores rather than overall fracture risk. Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) supports a risk sensitive approach to osteoporosis treatment by providing an absolute fracture risk. FRAX combined with a decision aid may promote a shared decision making approach with patients, allowing the clinician and patient to weigh potential fracture risk (without treatment), versus risk reduction with medication (including side effects and costs). OSTEOPOROSIS CHOICE II will test the effectiveness of: - FRAX - FRAX + decision aid - Usual care (no decision aid and no FRAX given to clinician)
The purpose of this study is to determine if low bone mineral density (a measurement of how thick and strong bones are) improves in adults with HIV infection who switch their HIV medication tenofovir to another HIV medication raltegravir. Hypothesis:That Bone Mineral Density (BMD) will improve in osteopenic or osteoporotic patients switching from ART including tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (r/PI) to ART including RAL+r/PI.
The purpose of this study is to determine the duration of the treatment with alendronate in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
This study will look to see if there are changes in the blood cells that are associated with bone disease and sort out effects that are due to the HIV virus itself, the medications and see if faster aging occurs in the cells of HIV infected persons. Bone disease will be measured by a special X-ray called a DEXA scan. A DEXA scan is used by doctors to see if someone has normal bone mass for their age or if there is thinning of the bones. The purposes of this study are: - to learn how common bone disease is in HIV infected patients over the age of 50 years that receive their care at the CORE Center - to see what are the common causes of bone disease in older HIV infected persons - to see if there are differences in blood cells and levels of cytokines in patients who do or do not have bone disease, as this may help researchers determine the cause of bone disease.
The clinical trial is being conducted to evaluate the performance of the Crosstrees System in reducing pain and decreasing the risk of cement leakage associated with vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how teriparatide or zoledronic acid affects the bone of postmenopausal osteoporotic women after 6 months of treatment as determined by a bone biopsy sample taken from the iliac crest (upper part of the pelvis). After completing 12 months of treatment all participants are eligible to participate in an additional 12-month open label extension.
The aim of this study is to determine whether denosumab (an FDA-approved osteoporosis therapy), in combination with teriparatide (an FDA-approved osteoporosis therapy), will increase bone mineral density more than either one alone in postmenopausal osteoporotic women.
This is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate new or worsening lens opacifications in subjects with non-metastatic prostate cancer receiving denosumab for bone loss due to androgen deprivation therapy.
The investigators earlier have shown that treatment of patients with juvenile osteoporosis with alendronate (Fosamax) for 12 months increased the bone density without side effects. In an open label study (10 patients) and double blind, crossover study (11 patients alendronate and 11 patients placebo), the investigators have further observed that alendronate increased the bone density significantly where as placebo (calcium and vitamin D) increased only minimally. These trials were completed. Thus, a post study is designed to evaluate the current status of the bone density and fractures after the patients discontinued the alendronate treatment. No treatment is involved.
