Denosumab for Glucocorticoid-treated Children With Rheumatic Disorders

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate denosumab as a novel treatment for bone loss in children treated with glucocorticoids for rheumatic disorders. This is a pilot Phase 1/2, randomized open-label, 12-month clinical trial of denosumab to assess its effect on bone resorption markers and bone mineral density (BMD) in children with rheumatic disorders, age 4 to 16 years, recruited within 1 month of starting a chronic systemic glucocorticoid regimen. Primary outcomes include suppression of bone turnover markers and safety assessments. Secondary outcomes include changes in bone density as measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) densitometry at the radius and tibia.

Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate denosumab as a novel treatment for bone loss in children treated with glucocorticoids for rheumatic disorders. Children with rheumatic disorders are at risk for low bone density and fractures from the inflammatory effects of the underlying disease, and also from direct effects of glucocorticoids on bone. This is a pilot Phase 1/2, randomized open-label, 12-month clinical trial of denosumab to assess its effect on bone resorption markers and BMD in children with rheumatic disorders, age 4 to 16 years, recruited within 1 month of starting a chronic systemic glucocorticoid regimen. Two different sequential doses will be administered to the intervention group and evaluation for safety and efficacy will be conducted at study visits. Primary outcomes include suppression of bone turnover markers and safety assessments. Secondary outcomes include changes in bone density as measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) densitometry at the radius and tibia. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
