Filter by:Hip fragility fractures are a major threat to functional independence in older adults locally and globally. In Hong Kong, the prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia in people aged >50 years were reported to be as high as 37% and 52%, respectively. The major challenge in fragility fracture prevention is that fragility fracture is caused by the combination of osteoporosis and propensity to fall, and both of these conditions are multifactorial. Ample evidence shows that fall risks can be reduced by well-designed exercises, and osteoporosis can be effectively diagnosed by Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry imaging (DXA) and treated with anti-osteoporosis medication. Lifestyle modifications e.g. diet, optimal physical activity, environmental safety can also help to prevent falls or improve bone health. The brief Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) and SARC-F provide a low cost of prescreening for fracture risk and sarcopenia, respectively. Using SARC-F in conjunction with FRAX has increased sensitivity for hip fracture risk prediction. FRAX+SARC-F may help increase the public awareness of osteoporosis and get the at-risk group to receive diagnostic tests and be treated. This model should fit in well with the coming District Health Centres across Hong Kong.
Clinical study evaluating selective or nonselective beta blockers use and fracture risk in patients with primary osteoporosis
This is an interventional study on nutraceuticals. It is a randomized controlled, open-label, prospective, single-center study that involves the enrollment of 82 patients with osteoporosis and 41 subjects without osteoporosis. The hypothesis the decarboxylated form of Osteocalcin (OC), called GluOC, represents a clinically useful marker for monitoring the effects of supplementation with vitamin K in association with anabolic treatment with teriparatide will be analyzed not only on bone but also on skeletal muscle and energy metabolism in patients with severe osteoporosis.
The Bone Zone trial is a prospective, multi-centre, double-blind, phase II, randomised controlled trial evaluating the effect of denosumab or zoledronic acid compared to placebo on change in bone mineral density over one year in women aged 50 years or older and men aged 70 years or older requiring admission to intensive care for greater than 24 hours. 450 women aged 50 years or older and men aged 70 years or older, admitted to intensive care for greater than 24 hours will be recruited into the study from participating study centres.
evaluate the differences in effectiveness and safety between CMAB807( potential biosimilar) and Prolia(original product)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of osteoporosis in adult patients with haemophilia.
This study is a cross-sectional study that wishes to investigate whether there is an increased incidence of sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease compared to the Danish background population. A possible association between sarcopenia and fall, as well as the incidence of osteoporosis in patients with chronic kidney disease will also be described.
The study is designed as a multi-center study within Europe in up to 60 patients treated with the AGN1 LOEP Kit in CONFIRM. This will be a non-randomized and non-blinded study. The study will collect long-term follow-up data on the safety and clinical performance of AGN1 LOEP. To qualify, subjects must have previously consented, enrolled, and been treated with the AGN1 LOEP kit in CONFIRM (AgNovos Study PST-EU-101.1). Follow-up evaluations will be conducted at 24, 36, 48 and 60 months from the date the subject originally received the AGN1 LOEP treatment. Subjects will receive DXA and X-ray imaging at the 24- and 60-month follow-up visits. The 36- and 48-month follow-up evaluations will be conducted by phone. All timepoints will include general health and medical record review.
This study will assess the effectiveness of the allogeneic mesenchymal cell from umbilical cord in improving the quality and quantity of spinal density of osteoporosis patients proven by the results of Bone Mass Density (BMD) examination compared to baseline and evaluate improvement of quality of pain with visual analog scale (VAS).
This randomized open label clinical trial will evaluate the effect of continued denosumab alone over 18 months versus denosumab with added abaloparatide for 18 months. 70 postmenopausal women will be enrolled over a period of 18 months. The co-primary outcomes will be group differences in bone mineral density (BMD) of the total hip and lumbar spine at 18 months. Secondary outcomes will include group differences in bone mineral density (BMD) at the femoral neck, trochanter and wrist sites at 6, 12 and 18 months, spine and total hip bone mineral density (BMD) at 6 and 12 months and trabecular bone score (TBS) at 18 months. Secondary outcomes will also include within group changes from baseline for each of these variables. Bone turnover markers will also be measured to demonstrate that PINP levels will increase with administration of abaloparatide even in the setting of ongoing denosumab, while CTX levels will remain low.
