Filter by:This is a randomized, open label intra-patient dose escalation study to evaluate safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of BPS804 in adults with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Pharmacodynamic effect will be determined by serological biomarkers and radiologic assessments. In addition, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) will be evaluated.
This was a pilot study of 10 patients with Osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome (OPPG) from the Old Order Mennonite community and 16 controls, who did not have OPPG. Five of the 10 OPPG patient elected to participate in the Lithium trial and 5 participated only in baseline data (labs, pQCT). The 5 with OPPG who were given lithium for 6 months had both dual energy xray absorptiometry (DXA), peripheral quantitative computerized tomography (pQCT) and lab assessment at baseline and 6 months. Studies in the mouse model of OPPG showed that lithium normalized their bone strength. Controls (n=16) were recruited from the Old Order Mennonite community, to minimize the effects of environmental and lifestyle factors. The controls were not be given lithium. The age range of participants was 4-64 years.
This is a study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of repeated Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSC) infusions to patients with Type II or III osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Participants will receive MSC infusions approximately every 4 months to complete a total of 6 infusions over 20 months. Participants will be followed for 4 months post their last MSC infusion.
The investigators have currently finished conducting an international multi-center trial that compares the efficacy and safety of pamidronate and zoledronate in the treatment of moderate to severe forms of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). This trial has included only children above one year of age. The aim of the current study is to extend the observations of that currently finished study to infants below 1 year of age. Moreover, it is possible to administer zoledronate in a single short infusion instead of the three-day cycles with Pamidronate, therefore decreasing patient and family burdens with shorter stays in the hospital.
This protocol was a prospective, Phase I study of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) as the primary therapy for Osteogenesis Imperfecta Types II and III. Compatible sibling donors and unrelated donors were stratified and analyzed according to the type of donor. All patients with a sibling donor will received a chemotherapy conditioning regimen; a non-T cell depleted allogeneic marrow, and GVHD prophylaxis. All patients with an unrelated donor will receive a chemoradiotherapy conditioning regimen, a T-cell depleted allogeneic marrow, and GVHD prophylaxis. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the safety and toxicity of these BMT procedures in this particular population.
Hypothesis: one-dose pamidronate will prevent post-operative bone loss in children at risk for low bone density Plan: children with chronic disease such as CP, spina bifida, etc. will be recruited pre operatively and studied with DXA scan. After surgery, children will be randomized to receive either pamidronate or saline. Repeat DXA scan will determine bone lost after end of immobilization or nonweightbearing.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disease for which there is currently no known cure. OI causes the osteoblasts (bone-forming cells in the body) to grow poorly, which slows the growth of children with the disease and causes their bones to bend and break easily. Some forms of osteogenesis imperfecta may cause severe disability and even death. In previous research studies performed at St. Jude, it was found that children treated with bone marrow transplant (infusion of healthy immature blood-forming cells) began to grow faster, had more minerals (material that helps make the bones strong) in their bones, and broke their bones less often than before the bone marrow transplant. Several months after the bone marrow transplant however, body growth once again began to slow down. In this research study, children with osteogenesis imperfecta will receive another infusion of bone marrow cells but without any chemotherapy. The marrow cells will come from the same bone marrow donor as their previous bone marrow transplant. It is hoped that by removing the CD3+ cells (a type of white blood cells that attack other cells that are not like themselves) from the donated bone marrow, the subject's body will be infused quite safely and that body growth and bone strength will increase. The CD3+ cells will be removed from the donor bone marrow by use of a machine called the CliniMACS System. This machine has not been approved for use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The use of this device is considered experimental.
The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of "Bisphosphonate Therapy for Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI)." We, the researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine, are characterizing the changes effected by oral bisphosphonate therapy and comparing them to a regimen of intravenous bisphosphonate therapy in a group of children with OI and also in children with other disorders that result in low bone mass and fractures.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of teriparatide (FORTEO), which is human parathyroid hormone 1-34, for increasing bone mass and improving bone structure in adults affected with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI).
This is an extension study to examine the long-term safety and efficacy of zoledronic acid in patients who have completed the core CZOL446H2202 study.
