View clinical trials related to Postmenopausal Osteoporosis.
Filter by:osteoporosis is a common disease that affect most of postmenopausal women. various treatment procedures are used to avoid future complain among postmenopausal population.
To investigate the efficacy and safety of eldecalcitol in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density (BMD) or mild osteoporosis through a randomized, open-label, parallel controlled trial with calcitriol as the control.
This study will provide objective evidence for the efficiency and safety of minodronate in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis with low back pain protocol. Furthermore, it will be helpful to evaluate the quantitative relationship between bone metabolic markers (BTM) and bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with osteoporosis under different ages.
This is a post-marketing drug intensive monitoring surveillance with an observational, non-interventional design. The objectives are to compare the incidence of hypercalcemia in patients with and without calcium intake (including dietary supplements, excepting calcium from meals), and to monitor the type, incidence, severity, and relevance of other adverse drug reactions,including urolithiasis.
The aim of the 6 month randomized controlled trial is to investigate the feasibility of a novel progressive muscle resistance exercise in postmenopausal women with low bone mass.
The recommended dosing regimen of zoledronic acid in Chinese osteoporosis patients is completely in accordance with the one of 5 mg per year abroad that based on the dosing regimen in Paget's disease. This dosing regimen lacks the actual supportive clinical data of Chinese patients. In addition, the overall incidence of acute phase response, the main adverse event after the first infusion, in Chinese patients is higher than that in Caucasian patients population. Moreover, the results of the similar drug clinical study in the Japanese patients shown that the purpose of effective treatment for osteoporosis could be achieved with half of the dosage in Caucasian population. Thus, it could be inferred from these that the dosing regimen of zoledronic acid might be inappropriate in Chinese osteoporosis patients. Therefore, the main purpose of this clinical trail is to compare the zoledronic acid pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristic of different doses in Chinese postmenopausal subjects with low bone mass or osteoporosis and explore the best dosing regimen in Chinese patients.
Acute phase response (APR) is one of the most common adverse events in osteoporosis with zoledronic acid treatment. It's reported that this reaction is related to the blockade of the mevalonate pathway, leading to isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) accumulation. And the latter can active γδT cells in the circulation, resulting in inflammatory cytokine release. Statins can inhibit the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate that may reduce the accumulation of IPP. Therefore, it is possible that statins can be taken in advance to reduce APR caused by zoledronic acid infusion.
