A 12-month study to compare the efficacy and safety of abaloparatide-solid microstructured transdermal system (sMTS) with abaloparatide-subcutaneous (SC).
NCT00048074
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous administration of Bonviva regimens in women with post-menopausal osteoporosis, compared to oral daily administration. Patients will also receive daily supplementation with vitamin D and calcium. The anticipated time of study treatment is 2+ years, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
NCT01631292
In this study, we will provide supplemental vitamin D in postmenopausal overweight/obese women, and hypothesize that it will not affect areal BMD, but will alter bone compartments (trabecular and cortical bone). In addition, higher vitamin D intake will increase serum 25OHD and suppress serum PTH and bone turnover during weight reduction. Secondary outcomes include the influence of vitamin D and weight loss on markers of insulin resistance and on cognitive tests of attention, learning, and memory.
NCT00069004
The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of metabolic and physical abnormalities in HIV infected (via mother-to-child transmission) and uninfected children and youth. Metabolism, body composition, bone density, and other factors will be assessed in relationship to participants' exposure to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
NCT06731608
Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens bones so the bones may break easily. The risk for osteoporosis increases with age in both women and men. Osteoporosis affects 10 million older adults in the US. Osteoporosis is a common cause of broken bones in the hips and legs. Broken bones can lead to disability, nursing home placement, and death. Because of the dire consequences, a broken hip or leg is one of the most dreaded injuries for older adults. Many studies confirm that a simple regimen of exercise, healthy diet and bone-strengthening medications can improve overall recovery after a broken hip or leg. This regimen can prevent a person from becoming disabled, having future fractures, and even prevent death. Many older adults have surgery in a hospital after breaking a hip or leg. Then older adults go to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) for rehabilitation. Care in SNFs varies greatly. Some patients do not receive the regimen that the investigators know is most beneficial to improve bone health and recovery. Even patients who get exercise, healthy diet, and bone-strengthening medication in the SNF, may not continue with the regimen once patients go home. Therefore, the investigators want to implement and test OsteoPorotic fracTure preventION System (OPTIONS). OPTIONS is a program that will integrate the regimen into the care that is provided in SNFs and after discharge to the community. OPTONS will provide information about exercise, diet, and bone-strengthening medication. OPTIONS will provide doctors, clinical staff, patients, and care partners with the information these stakeholders need to carry out the best-practice regimen. The investigators are partnering with PointClickCare, a large cloud-based healthcare software provider, with SNFs and community care sites across the US. The investigators will include 32 SNFs from different US areas. The investigators will flip a coin to assign SNFs to the intervention (OPTIONS) or the control arm (enhanced usual care) of the study. Enhanced usual care is the care that is typically provided in SNFs after a fracture and adding information about a publicly available fall prevention toolkit. The investigators are using an "implementation science" approach that requires the investigators to get input from the OPTIONS study's vast stakeholder community throughout the study. The OPTIONS study's stakeholders include patients, care partners, clinicians, and professional organizations. The research question is, can using OPTIONS in SNFs and in the community after discharge improve physical function and quality of life in older people in the year after a hip or leg fracture? The investigators are measuring patient-reported outcomes. The investigators will include 1553 patients across the 32 facilities. The investigators have selected outcomes that are important to patients. Specifically, the investigators are measuring patient-reported function and quality of life. The investigators are also measuring patient-reported falls and fractures. The investigators will track the number of patients who die during the study. This study's hypothesis is that patients who receive OPTIONS will report better physical function (i.e., can walk and take better care of themselves) than those who receive enhanced usual care. The investigators also hypothesize that patients that receive OPTIONS will report a better quality of life than those who receive enhanced usual care. This study will provide sound data about the effectiveness of OPTIONS. OPTIONS could then be spread to other SNFs and community-based programs. This would ensure that all older people receive the right care after a hip or leg fracture.
NCT00303485
This study will determine the rapidity of suppression of the bone resorption marker sCTX in post-menopausal women with osteoporosis.Other bone turnover markers will also be evaluated. Patients will be randomised to either monthly Boniva 150mg or placebo, in combination with vitamin D and calcium supplementation. The anticipated time on study treatment is approximately 7 months, and the target sample size is \<100 individuals.
NCT02186171
The study is designed to evaluate if treatment with romosozumab once a month for 12 months compared with placebo is effective in increasing bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine. Additionally, the study will assess the effect of treatment with romosozumab for 12 months compared with placebo on BMD at the femoral neck and total hip.
NCT02157948
This study will compare the effect of denosumab produced by two different manufacturing processes on bone mineral density at the lumbar spine in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
NCT00541658
The purpose of this trial is to study the efficacy of a 35 mg delayed release weekly dosing regimen as compared to the standard daily dosing regimen of risedronate 5 mg daily.
NCT06304428
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare three care models for optimizing medications and preventing falls with broken bones in patients receiving rehabilitation after a hospitalization for a broken bone. The primary outcome is injurious falls, with secondary outcomes measuring how the process of care is changed and capturing patient-reported outcomes valued by stakeholders. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Which of the three models is more effective in preventing falls with fractures? * What are the differences in patient-centered outcomes amongst the three models? These include pain, depression, anxiety, sleep, medication side effect burden, and fear of falling. * What are the differences in osteoporosis treatment and medication burden? The three care models are: a Deprescribing Care Model designed to reduce or stop fall-related medications, a Bone Heath Service Model designed to provide osteoporosis evaluation and management, and an Injury Prevention Service Model offering both services. 42 SNFs will participate in this study. The three models will be incorporated into the routine care of patients at these facilities who are receiving rehabilitation after a hospitalization for a fracture. All care models will be delivered remotely to patients in the SNF and after they transition home by a post-fracture nurse consultant supported by an interprofessional team. This study has three aims. See Detailed Description for more details. This ClinicalTrials.gov record represents the Comparative Effectiveness Aim of the protocol.
