NCT00205777
The purpose of this study is to determine whether bazedoxifene acetate is safe and effective in the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
NCT00431444
This study will compare the effects of Zoledronic acid and Raloxifene in reducing bone turnover markers in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density over 6 months.
NCT00587925
Bone Mineral Density (BMD) as measured by X-ray shows the amount of calcium in the bone. Low BMD may reflect osteoporosis, a condition where there is an increased risk of fracture. Women who have gone through menopause have a higher risk of getting osteoporosis because they lose calcium from their bones much faster than younger women. Women with breast cancer may have an additional risk for getting osteoporosis because of the effects of their treatment with chemotherapy. The purpose of this study is to see what levels of BMD post-menopausal women with breast cancer have, and to see if the level of BMD changes during a women's treatment after her surgery. This trial studies changes in BMD and markers of bone activity in women receiving treatment for early stage breast cancer.
NCT00010712
This study will assess whether treatment with black cohosh is effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of menopausal hot flashes. In addition, this study will determine whether or not black cohosh reduces the frequency of other menopausal symptoms and improves quality of life.
NCT00139685
To evaluate and compare Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in adolescent Depo-Provera Contraceptive Injection (DP150CI) users during depo medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) therapy and following discontinuation of DMPA. Another group electing non-hormonal contraception or abstinence will be recruited as a reference population, across all study sites. The primary variable is BMD, measured by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). Secondary variables are: Total Body Composition\& Total Body Calcium (TBC), measured by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), and surrogate biologic BMD markers. Safety will be evaluated by adverse event reporting, laboratory evaluations, pregnancies, weight and vital signs.
NCT00176579
RATIONALE: Measuring bone mineral density may help doctors predict whether prostate cancer will come back. It may also help the study of prostate cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying whether bone mineral density affects cancer recurrence in patients with early stage prostate cancer.
NCT00927186
The purpose of this study is to investigate how teriparatide or zoledronic acid affects the bone of postmenopausal osteoporotic women after 6 months of treatment as determined by a bone biopsy sample taken from the iliac crest (upper part of the pelvis). After completing 12 months of treatment all participants are eligible to participate in an additional 12-month open label extension.
NCT00097825
The goal of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of an annual intravenous treatment of zoledronic acid for the treatment of osteoporosis in men. All patients will receive calcium and vitamin D supplements.
NCT00790101
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy study designed to compare the effects of risedronate, raloxifene, and placebo on BMD, bone turnover markers, and other markers of anabolic activity in postmenopausal women who previously received HRT.
NCT00402441
Primary Objective: * To demonstrate that risedronate 35-mg once weekly is more efficacious than placebo in increasing or maintaining bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine after 1 year of treatment in women who are non-osteoporotic and 0.5-5 years postmenopausal. Secondary objectives: * To demonstrate that risedronate 35-mg once weekly is more efficacious than placebo in increasing or maintaining total proximal femur, femoral neck, and trochanter BMD after 1 year of treatment in women who are 0.5-5 years postmenopausal * To assess the general safety of 35-mg risedronate administered once weekly.
NCT00046254
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether zoledronic acid given once yearly for two years to men and women after surgical repair of a recent hip fracture will significantly reduce the rate of all re-occurring (new) osteoporotic fractures. All patients will receive vitamin D and calcium.
NCT00006394
OBJECTIVES: I. Compare whether the bone tissue in the spine and hip improves in patients with adult onset growth hormone deficiency treated with growth hormone (GH) vs placebo. II. Determine whether the blood samples of these patients show evidence of beneficial bone effects after treatment with GH. III. Compare the quality of life of these patients treated with these 2 regimens. IV. Determine the side effects of GH in these patients.
NCT00670501
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate a reduction in the proportion of new vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis following 3-years of treatment with 20 and 40 mcg/day of teriparatide plus calcium and vitamin D compared with calcium and vitamin D alone.
NCT00383422
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of arzoxifene to raloxifene on the bone mineral density (bone strength).
NCT00670319
To study the effect of long-term treatment with raloxifene, compared with placebo, on the rate of new vertebral fractures in osteoporotic postmenopausal women with and without existing vertebral fractures.
NCT01011556
The primary purpose of this study is to help answer the following research questions: 1. How teriparatide given using a skin patch (transferred through the skin using the ViaDerm Teriparatide System) compares to teriparatide injected under the skin with a needle (pen injector) affects your bone density (how solid or porous your bones are). 2. The safety of the teriparatide skin patch and any side effects that might be associated with it.
