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.
NCT00163137
To compare the effects of 2 years of lasofoxifene treatment with 2 years of raloxifene 60 mg/day use and 2 years of placebo use on bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine.
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.
NCT00046137
The purpose of this study is to compare treatment with both teriparatide and raloxifene with teriparatide alone. The study will evaluate any side effects that may be associated with the two drugs and may help to determine whether teriparatide and raloxifene together can help patients with osteoporosis more than teriparatide alone.
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.
NCT00130403
To determine how prior therapy with alendronate or risedronate in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis influences the clinical effectiveness of teriparatide; The primary objective of the study is to compare the teriparatide (human, recombinant PTH\[1-34\])-associated change from baseline in a marker of bone formation, N-terminal propeptide of type I collagen (P1NP), between subjects previously treated with risedronate and those previously treated with alendronate.
NCT00358176
To confirm the non-inferiority of 75 mg risedronate tablets taken on 2 consecutive days per month as compared to 5 mg risedronate tablets taken daily in increasing bone mass in lumbar spine in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. To confirm the efficacy of 75 mg risedronate tablets taken on 2 consecutive days per month in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in increasing bone mass in proximal femur, femoral neck and femoral trochanter and decreasing bone resorption. To confirm general safety of 75 mg risedronate tablets taken on 2 consecutive days per month as compared to 5 mg risedronate taken daily.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
