Filter by:Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic, metabolic liver disease that is closely related to obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a bidirectional mode. NAFLD affects approximately 25% of the worldwide population. NAFLD refers to a phenotypic spectrum, including steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis, which can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in a minority of patients. However, despite its high prevalence, morbidity and mortality, as well as the extensive research in the field, there is not to-date a licensed medication specifically for NAFLD. Emerging evidence supports a potential association between NAFLD and osteoporosis; the prevalence of osteoporosis is probably higher in patients with NAFLD and, vise versa, the prevalence of NAFLD may be higher in patients with osteoporosis. In this context, it has been proposed that certain medications for osteoporosis may also prove to be beneficial to NAFLD. Denosumab, a human monoclonal IgG2 antibody against the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL), is currently an established treatment for osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases. The axis RANKL-receptor activator of nuclear factor NF-κB (RANK)-osteoprotegerin (OPG) has been demonstrated as a key regulator of bone metabolism and, when dysregulated, it contributes to the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases. Interestingly, experimental studies have shown that circulating and hepatic RANKL may be upregulated in mice with diet-induced NAFLD, rendering RANKL a potential contributor to the pathogenesis of NAFLD, and ideally, a promising pharmacological target. On the other hand, bisphosphonates, another established, first-line treatment for osteoporosis, are expected to have no significant effect on hepatic metabolism in patients with NAFLD due to their pharmacokinetics and mechanism of action. This is a prospective non-randomized study which aims to investigate the comparative effect of denosumab versus bisphosphonates on hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis and concomitant NAFLD.
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.
Denosumab of Intas is biosimilar denosumab candidate under development by Intas Pharmaceutical Limited (Biopharma Division). Denosumab of Intas is already approved by Indian drug licensing authority- Drug Controller General (India) for marketing in Indian population since 2018.As per regulatory requirement, a comparative clinical study to establish Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacodynamic and Immunogenicity equivalence is required to conclude therapeutic equivalence to obtain marketing authorization of a biosimilar investigational product. This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active controlled study in approximately 552postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. An extension of the study is planned after completion of the initial 1 year of treatment. This extension is with the objective of submitting data on safety, and Immunogenicity, after switching of Prolia treatment arm to either Prolia or Intas denosumab for 6 months. This switching data is applicable only for FDA submission. Only patients who have undergone PK assessment will be eligible for the extension phase.
This two-year observational, open-label clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy of a once-yearly infusion of zoledronic acid after denosumab discontinuation to maintain tissue mineral density and bone microarchitecture using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) among post-menopausal women with osteoporosis.
This is a phase 3 Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Active-controlled Study to Compare the Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacokinetics, and Immunogenicity of Enzene Denosumab (ENZ215) and Prolia® in Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis
EuBone is prepared by mixing eucommia ulmoides extract, fructus ulmoides extract and dodder extract in proportion. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of EuBone® capsules in slowing bone loss, preventing bone loss, and improving quality of life compared with placebo in Postmenopausal women.
This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel design, repeat dose, 2 arm, multicenter study comparing the efficacy, safety, immunogenicity, pharmacodynamic (PD) and pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of AVT03 and US-Prolia in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
Denosumab is a monoclonal antibody against RANKL ligand, which is used as an alternative treatment for osteoporosis in patients who have a poor response to first-line antiresorptive therapy. However, discontinuation of denosumab produces a rapid increase in bone turnover, bone loss and potentially increased risk of multiple vertebral fractures.
Quercetin is a plant-based flavonoid that is naturally found in many fruits and vegetables, and is considered to be a potent antioxidant with several expected health benefits such as anti-inflammatory effects and bone-conserving properties. Participants will supplement with either Quercetin, or placebo, for 90-days with pre- and post-testing visits.
Recently, an increase in the prevalence of hyperparathyroidism and hypovitaminosis D in postmenopause women has been occurring in Mexico and the world. Chronic exposure to the parathyroid hormone (PTH) is catabolic for the bone, worsening the state of osteoporosis. However, it is unclear whether these conditions could significantly improve bone mineral density (BMD). In the present work, it was shown that the resolution of hyperparathyroidism in postmenopausal women improves osteoporosis.
