The primary aim of the study is the comparative effect of zolendronic acid versus denosumab on serum sclerostin levels in postmenopausal women with low bone mass. Secondary aims are their comparative effect on serum dickkopf-1, osteoprotegerin, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand (RANKL) and bone turnover markers (procollagen type I N-terminal peptide [PINP] and C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen [CTX]).
This study will evaluate the therapeutic effects and safety of odanacatib on bone mineral density in osteoporotic postmenopausal women who were previously treated with alendronate.
The purpose of this study was to compare compliance and efficacy of raloxifene and strontium ranelate in a group of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
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.
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).
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.
This is a multi-center, open-label, drug-drug interaction study in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
