Filter by:The primary purpose of the study is to compare 3 different osteoporosis therapies following one year of teriparatide.In the first year,all eligible patients received open-label teriparatide 20 micrograms/day.After 1 year, patients are randomly assigned to one of 3 possible follow-up treatment regimens for the second 12 months: continuation of teriparatide, switch to raloxifene, or no pharmacological treatment(other than the calcium and vitamin D supplements that everyone receives). Patients are stratified into 3 subsets: (a) patients who have never received any anti-osteoporosis treatment before; (b) patients who received prior antiresorptive treatment successfully; (c) patients who failed to respond adequately to prior antiresorptive drugs (such as bisphosphonates or raloxifene) in the past. These latter patients are not randomized at month 12 but will continue treatment with teriparatide 20 micrograms/day throughout the second year.
A double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to assess the safety and efficacy of 3 doses of ALX1-11 (recombinant human parathyroid hormone [rhPTH(1-84)])(50, 75 and 100 µg) in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of ALX1-11 (50, 75 and 100 µg) with that of placebo in terms of increasing vertebral bone mineral density, when given daily by subcutaneous injection for 12 months in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
This is an 18-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase III trial with a 12-month interim analysis of the effect of ALX1-11, recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-84) (rhPTH [1-84]), on fracture incidence in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, the TOP study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of alfacalcidol 1 µg daily on the number of fallers in postmenopausal, alendronate-treated, osteopenic or osteoporotic women. primary outcome = number of fallers (patients with at least one locomotor fall incl.mixed falls)
To determine the effect and safety of menatetrenone on treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis comparing with alfacalcidol.
Women undergoing surgical menopause often experience marked menopausal side effects but are reluctant to use estrogen or other female hormones to ease the transition to menopause because of worries that the hormones may increase breast cancer risks. This study will evaluate tibolone in women experiencing surgical menopause to assess its effects on bone health, menopause symptoms and breast density.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether supplementation with 5 mg vitamin K daily over a 2-year period will prevent bone loss in post-menopausal women with osteopenia.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a new test for osteoporosis can be useful in monitoring treatment. We are studying a new method for examining the quality of bone by an experimental method of computerized analysis of radiographic images (x-ray pictures) of the heel.
This extension study is designed to assess the long term safety and efficacy of zoledronic acid in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who have participated in the CZOL446H2301 (NCT00049829): HORIZON Pivotal Fracture Trial. This extension study began after the 3-year core study ended. Baseline is the same as Year 3.
To determine how prior therapy with alendronate or risedronate in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis influences the clinical effectiveness of teriparatide; The primary objective of the study is to compare the teriparatide (human, recombinant PTH[1-34])-associated change from baseline in a marker of bone formation, N-terminal propeptide of type I collagen (P1NP), between subjects previously treated with risedronate and those previously treated with alendronate.
