Filter by:This study will evaluate whether the once weekly administration of the combination tablet alendronate/vitamin D3 (FOSAMAX PLUS) will increase lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) more than the daily use of calcitriol.
Clodronic acid 100 mg/3,3 ml is used to prevent and treat postmenopausal osteoporosis. The intramuscular formulation, which is given at a dose of 100 mg every 7 o 14 days, is at least as effective as daily oral therapy and appears more effective than intermittent intravenous treatment. Intramuscular clodronic acid in particular has also been associated with improvements in back pain. The drug is well tolerated, with no deleterious effects on bone mineralization, and use of parenteral therapy eliminates the risk of gastrointestinal adverse effects that may be seen in patients receiving oral bisphosphonates therapy. In order to simplify the therapeutic dosing regimen, reducing the number of administrations per month, and therefore increase adherence to bisphosphonates therapy of the patient, a new formulation of disodium clodronic acid containing 200 mg/4 mL for i.m. administration has been developed. Lidocaine in this new formulation, as local anaesthetic, is maintained at the same concentration as in the 100 mg clodronic acid formulation. The pharmacokinetics and tolerability of the intramuscular formulation of clodronic acid 200 mg in comparison to the marketed formulation clodronic acid 100 mg was evaluated in healthy post-menopausal volunteers. Two formulations were similar in terms of amount and rate of clodronic acid urinary excretion and in terms of safety profile.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether BA058 (abaloparatide), a parathyroid hormone-related peptide, is effective in preventing fractures in postmenopausal women with severe osteoporosis who are at risk of fractures.
This study is designed to provide information about the bone anabolic properties and absorption profile of Unigene's PTH Analog when administered as oral tablets over a period of 24 weeks to postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of oral calcitonin (rsCT)tablets in the prevention of bone loss in postmenopausal women with lower bone mineral density at increased risk of fracture. The secondary purpose of this study was to determine if there is any food effect by comparing the efficacy and safety of oral calcitonin tablets administered at dinner or at bedtime.
This single arm, open label study will assess the efficacy and safety of and compliance to treatment with Bonviva/Boniva (ibandronate) in biphosphonate-naïve patients with post-menopausal osteoporosis. Patients will receive Bonviva/Boniva at a dose of 3 mg intravenously every three months. Anticipated time on study treatment is 12 months with a follow-up of 12 months.
This study is a Phase 1, multi-center, 2-part, subject- and investigator-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multiple dose study of transdermal teriparatide (80-µg dose) in healthy postmenopausal women. Part A will examine the cumulative irritation and adherence of the transdermal patch, and Part B will examine skin sensitization and adherence. Two separate groups of subjects will be enrolled for Part A and Part B of the study. All screening procedures will take place up to 28 days prior to enrollment.
Quality of Life (QoL) in Korean postmenopausal osteoporosis patients with bisphosphonate treatment
This study is designed to provide information about the bone-anabolic response of PTH134 when administered orally, in comparison to Forsteo®, the sub-cutaneous form of teriparatide, the active ingredient in PTH134.
This is a multi-center, open-label, drug-drug interaction study in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
