Clinical Trial Summary

This is a 1-year base study with a 1-year extension to examine the effects of a new experimental medication (odanacatib [MK-0822]) on postmenopausal osteoporosis. This study will enroll approximately 375 postmenopausal women, and randomly assign them to 4 different doses of odanacatib or to placebo. Measurements performed during the study include: bone mineral density scans, spine x-rays, laboratory blood and urine tests, height measurements and optional bone biopsies (at the end of 2 years).

Description:

Study Extension:

Participants who completed 12 months of the base study and 12 months of the first extension were invited to continue in three additional extensions: MK0-822-004-10, which extended the study to 36 months, MK-0822-004-20 (NCT00112437) which extended the study to 60 months, and MK-0822-004-30 (NCT00112437), which extended the study to 120 months.

• In the first extension, participants continued to receive the same treatment they received in the 12-month base study.

• In the second extension, participants were re-randomized to odanacatib 50 mg OW or placebo OW for 12 months.

• In the third extension, participants who were initially randomized to odanacatib 3 mg or placebo OW in the base study received odanacatib 50 mg weekly in Years 4 and 5; all other participants remained on the same treatment they were during Year 3.

• In the fourth extension, all participants received odanacatib weekly in Years 6-10.

Study arms for extensions include only odanacatib 50 mg and placebo for the first two extensions and odanacatib 50 mg only for the third extension.

Extension Studies:

MK-0822-004-10 (NCT00112437) Extension: Participant has participated in and completed 24 months of treatment in the base study

MK-0822-004-20 (NCT00112437) Extension: Participant participated in and completed 36 months of treatment in base and extension studies.

MK-0822-004-30 (NCT00112437) Extension: Participant participated in and completed 60 months of treatment in the base and extension studies.

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Status: Completed
• Enrollment: 399
• Est. completion date: January 20, 2016
• Est. primary completion date: December 26, 2007
• Accepts healthy volunteers: No
• Gender: Female
• Age group: 45 Years to 85 Years

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Postmenopausal for 5 or more years, defined as no menses for at least 5 years OR at least 5 years status post bilateral oophorectomy

• Bone mineral density T-score at the hip or spine of -2.0 or less

• Spinal anatomy suitable for dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). At the lumbar spine, there is no evidence of vertebral fracture in at least 3 vertebrae in the L1 to L4 region on baseline spine films. (Significant scoliosis, bony trauma, degenerative joint disease, and sequelae of orthopedic procedures that result in anatomy that is unsuitable for accurate bone densitometry must be absent from the lumbar spine.)

• At least one hip must be evaluable by DXA (e.g., contain no hardware from orthopedic procedures)

• In a state of general health allowing for successful completion of the trial

• Agreement to not use any medications to treat osteoporosis during the study

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of prior osteoporotic fracture (unless declined treatment with or was ineligible for osteoporosis therapy)

• Past treatment with osteoporosis medications, steroids, hormone replacement, as well as various other medications that affect bone may be exclusionary. (Different exclusion criteria apply to each bone active drug. For example, any prior use of intravenous (IV) bisphosphonates is not permitted. By contrast, prior use of hormone replacement for several years is permitted if it has not occurred within the past 6 months. Please ask the study doctor for details)

• Significant clinical or laboratory abnormalities at the screening visit for the study that, in the opinion of the investigator, could complicate interpretation of the study results or pose additional risk to the patient (for example, patients who are non-ambulatory should be excluded for this reason)
