Filter by:A 12-month study to compare the efficacy and safety of abaloparatide-solid microstructured transdermal system (sMTS) with abaloparatide-subcutaneous (SC).
The purpose of this study is to examine, via iliac crest bone biopsies, the mechanism of combined teriparatide and denosumab on the bone of postmenopausal osteoporotic women after 3 months of treatment.
The researchers will evaluate the effectiveness of a complex intervention composed of multiple actions targeting primary care healthcare workers and postmenopausal women with osteoporosis by means of a quasi-experimental design in the form of a cluster-controlled trial with clustering at family physician level. The study has 2 study arms. In one arm, osteoporosis stakeholders receive a complex intervention (Integrated Osteoporosis Care(IOC)). The second study arm serves as control and receives care as usual. The complex intervention is composed of - education and provision of educational material for all stakeholders in primary osteoporosis care (patients, family physicians, nurse-educators, physiotherapists, dietitians, pharmacists and if present patient's informal caregivers) - patient self-management support by primary care osteoporosis stakeholders - the construction of a primary care osteoporosis treatment guideline and care pathway Effectiveness will be measured by questionnaires and data from the (Electronic Medical Record)EMR and IMA-database, in patients and family physicians. Effects measured in family physicians are: - Identification failure rate - Percentage of family physicians correctly implementing the osteoporosis treatment guideline - Proportion of patients treated correctly as stated in the osteoporosis treatment guideline - Proportion of family physicians correctly registering osteoporosis related information in the EMR - Intensity of collaborative practices - Knowledge of osteoporosis management and treatment Effects measured in patients are: - Medication Possession Ratio(MPR) (Primary outcome) - Health literacy - Self-management efficacy - Self-reported treatment adherence - Self-reported nutritional intake - Intensity of integrated osteoporosis care - Patient satisfaction with integrated osteoporosis care - HRQoL - Functional independence (Activities of Daily Living - ADL) - Patient resource use The study elapse time is 18 months. Participating family physicians will receive postgraduate education and start to include patients during consultations in their doctor's office. The inclusion period is 6 months, patients eligible for participation are non-institutionalized postmenopausal women with a diagnosis of osteoporosis who are able to give informed consent. The follow-up period for patients is 12 months. Follow-up period for family physicians is 18 months.
CMAB807 is a human monoclonal antibody targeting the key bone resorption mediator RANKL. The drug is administered via subcutaneous injection once six months and is approved for various indications, including the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at increased/high risk of fracture. This phase 1 clincical study investigates the pharmacokinetics, safety and immnogenicity of CMAB807,compared to prolia®, in healthy Chinese male subjects.
This study will assess the pharmacokinetics and safety and explore therapeutic effects with once-weekly recombinant human parathyroid hormone for injection ( 1-34 ) ( G56W1 ) in women with post-menopausal osteoporosis .The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks, and the target sample size is 148 individuals.
Large amounts of experimental and animal evidence have confirmed that iron accumulation is associated with bone loss. However, it is still lack of the clinical studies relating iron accumulation to bone loss, especially in the pathological conditions during our Chinese. In this study, the investigators aim to assess the association between the levels of serum ferritin and bone mineral density in Chinese healthy postmenopausal women.
The aim of this study is the quantitative determination of bone-specific microRNAs in the serum of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis during antiresorptive or osteoanabolic therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of Moringa Oleifera on the structure and function of bone in post-menopausal women ingesting 1000 mg of Moringa Oleifera daily for 12 weeks.
For nearly 112 million patients with osteoporosis in China, it is of great significance for preventing and treating by clearly understanding the molecular mechanism of kidney deficiency. Thus, the research group has demonstrated in the earlier research that CLCF1 is an associated gene that can regulate JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway and impact bone metabolism for kidney yin deficiency of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP). To make clear understanding of the direct-acting mechanism of CLCF1 for bone metabolism, this study intends to: ①observe impacts of low expression of CLCF1 upon immunities in mice and OPG/RANKL/RANK signal system using the technology of adenovirus associated virus. ②explore impacts of over-expression and silencing of CLCF1 on B lymphocytes by culcuturing the cells together with osteoblasts. ③ analyze the impacts of treating kidney yin deficiency of PMOP by Liuwei Dihuang pill upon immunities and OPG/RANKL/RANK system, and discuss the mechanism of regulating bone metabolism by CLCF1 by OPG/RANKL/RANK system via the bridge between immune system and bone metabolism, so as to demonstrate if the hypothesis of this study that "the molecular osteoimmunological mechanism of kidney yin deficiency of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is possibly closely related to the impacts of CLCF1 regulation of OPG/RANKL/RANK signal system on bone metabolism" is right or not.
In 2006, Weinberg proposed a hypothesis that iron accumulation was a risk factor for osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a common complication in various diseases, such as hemochromatosis, African hemosiderosis, thalassemia, and sickle cell disease, which all share iron accumulation as a common denominator. Moreover, a 3-year retrospective longitudinal study has shown that iron accumulation was also associated with osteoporosis in healthy adults and especially that it can increase the risk of fractures in postmenopausal women. Based on these observations, iron chelation therapy may have a promising future in the treatment of iron accumulation-related osteoporosis by removing iron from the body. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of the iron chelator, deferasirox, to standard therapy for postmenopausal osteoporosis, is safe and effective.
