Filter by:Increased bone formation in the absence of accelerated resorption is resulting in a marked anabolic response to teriparatide (TPTD) during the early phase after treatment initiation. Months later, due to coupling mechanism, the sustained increase of bone formation and ongoing anabolic effects are accompanied by significantly increased bone resorption as well. Antiresorptives influence the balance of bone formation and resorption. Therefore the investigators aim is to investigate the effects of the addition of antiresorptives to the second half of TPTD cycle when resorption is already also markedly elevated.
This study will determine if daily oral intake of 200g of a marketed yogurt with fortified calcium content and a milk basic protein (MBP)80 mg benefits on bone cells activity in postmenopausal women. The efficacy of the product is measured by examining the variation of biochemical markers of bone turnover. MBP 80 is a particular protein contained in milk; it has been added to the yogurt provided for this study. The effects of MBP 80 on the quality of bone tissue have not yet been proven.
The purpose of this study is to determine if denosumab is effective in increasing bone mineral density at the lumbar spine in Indian postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

This observational cohort study is being conducted to further characterize selected adverse events of interest among a patient population with osteoporosis who are prescribed bazedoxifene, raloxifene, or a bisphosphonate in usual clinical care outside of a randomized clinical trial setting. The study will compare the rates of the selected clinical events among the three treatment groups.
This is a 2year observational study that will recruit patients who have previously completed a randomised, open label, parallel, single centre study (TRIO Study) of three bisphosphonates: alendronate, ibandronate and risedronate. These drugs are the most commonly used group of treatments for postmenopausal osteoporosis in the UK. However, the length of time for which these treatments continue to work after they are stopped has not been fully elucidated. Without this information it is unclear as to how long doctors should treat and whether it would be good practice to give drug 'holidays'. The investigators plan to compare the effects on bone quantity and quality of stopping these licensed bisphosphonates in patients who have taken the medication for a duration of two years. The investigators aim to recruit up to 100 postmenopausal and up to 100 premenopausal (reference range) subjects. Measurements collected at the final visit of the previous study will be used for 'baseline' values for this study. The postmenopausal group will have an initial study visit to secure informed consent, and then further study visits at 24, 48, 72 and 96 weeks after stopping medication. Visit procedures will include: Blood and urine samples for measurements of bone biomarkers Bone Mineral Density of the spine, hip, whole body, forearm Dual-emission X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and heel dual X-ray and Laser (DXL) Quantitative Ultrasound of Bone (QUS) Vertebral Fracture Assessment (VFA). The premenopausal group will have one study visit, 96 weeks after completing the previous study. Visit procedures will include: Blood and urine samples for measurements of bone biomarkers Bone Mineral Density of the spine and hip (DXA) A subgroup of 50 premenopausal women will also have the following measurements: Bone Mineral Density of the whole body, forearm (DXA), and heel (DXL) Quantitative Ultrasound of Bone (QUS).
This study is a regulatory post marketing surveillance in Japan, and it is a local prospective and observational study of patients who have received Wellnara for postmenopausal osteoporosis. The objective of this study is to assess safety and efficacy of using Wellnara in clinical practice. A total 400 patients will be recruited and followed 3 years since starting Wellnara administration.

This is an observational study to investigate the prevalence of osteoporotic fractures in post menopausal patients. Post menopausal patients who visit OS(orthopedic surgery) including GHs(general hospitals) and clinics will be enrolled.
