284 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This was an open-label, single-center study to evaluate the usability of abaloparatide-sMTS by participants with low BMD.
This study is designed to provide information on the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and bone biomarker response following multiple BPS804 administration in multiple dosing regimens. This information will permit a comparison of the possible risks and benefits of different dosing regimens of the study drug to enable optimal doses and dose intervals to be tested in subsequent studies.
The primary objectives of this study include evaluating the dose response of LY2541546 using bone mineral density (BMD) change from baseline as compared to placebo and evaluating the overall safety and tolerability of LY2541546 following multiple subcutaneous administrations in postmenopausal (PMP) women with low BMD. Following the last dose of study drug, participants will be able to participate in a 12 month extension to collect additional safety and efficacy data (no further treatment will be administered during this extension).
This study examines the role of energy availability on menstrual function and bone mass in female adolescent endurance athletes. Specific evaluations include dietary intake, exercise energy expenditure, training schedules, menstrual function and bone density.
This is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate new or worsening lens opacifications in men with non-metastatic prostate cancer receiving denosumab for bone loss due to androgen deprivation therapy.
This study will evaluate the effect of a 1-year administration of the vitamin D analog 2-methylene-19-nor-(20S)-1alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (DP001) on bone mineral density (BMD), safety, and tolerability.
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.
The purpose of this project is to evaluate the hypothesis that bisphosphonate treatment given to growth hormone deficient patients (regardless of current growth hormone replacement therapy status and without changing that status) significantly increases total body bone mineral density during an eighteen month period of treatment combined with calcium and Vitamin D when compared to calcium and Vitamin D treatment alone.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of treatment with AGA2118 versus placebo at Month 12 on lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women with low bone mass.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether daily supplementation of resveratrol would improve bone health in postmenopausal women.
The overall objective of this study is to define an effective therapeutic approach, using currently available medication, to prevent or mitigate the loss of bone mass and bone strength that occurs after acute spinal cord injury.
The purpose of this study is to validate a human saliva sample analyzer technique designed to screen for low bone density and osteoporosis. The analyzer technique is meant to be a simple, noninvasive, easy-to-use, cost-effective, and routine means of diagnosing bone turnover using a point-of-care device that monitors salivary markers of bone turnover in a screening patient population that is at risk for low bone density or osteoporosis.
This is a Phase 2, open-label, randomized, controlled clinical study of pediatric subjects treated with pamidronate with calcium and vitamin D versus calcium and vitamin D alone following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that subjects receiving pamidronate with calcium and vitamin D will have higher lumbar spine bone mineral content (LBMC) measured by dual-energy X-ray tomography (DXA) at 1 year post-HCT than subjects receiving calcium and vitamin D alone (Control Group).
Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that can cause thinning of the bones (a decrease in bone density). A significant decrease in bone density is called osteopenia or osteoporosis. Sometimes the loss of bone density can be severe enough to cause breaks and fractures of the bones. It is not known what causes the bones to thin in anorexia nervosa. Women who have this condition often have thin or weak bones that are more likely to break. They also have very low levels of a chemical called IGF-1 in their body. This chemical is very important for increasing bone growth in puberty and for maintaining healthy adult bones. The investigators would like to find out if giving rhIGF-1 followed by risedronate or risedronate alone can lead to an increase in bone formation, bone density, and bone strength in women with anorexia nervosa.
The objective of this study is to assess changes bone mineral density and bone metabolism after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. The investigators hypothesize that weight loss after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery will be associated with increased bone turnover, changes in bone metabolism, and loss of bone mass.
This study will evaluate whether teriparatide is superior to the active comparator in the change from baseline of lumbar spine BMD (bone mineral density) in men and postmenopausal women with low bone mass and a recent pertrochanteric hip fracture.
Decreased bone strength is a common and serious medical problem present in many women with anorexia nervosa, or disordered eating. Women with decreased bone strength are more likely to suffer broken bones than women with normal bone strength. We are investigating whether a hormone that is naturally produced by the human body -- parathyroid hormone (PTH) -- can help strengthen the bones of women with anorexia nervosa.
The study is designed to look at the effect of different bone treatment plans on bone loss after kidney or kidney/pancreas transplant.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of acetaminophen or fluvastatin in reducing the rate of occurrence and the severity of post dose symptoms that may occur during the 3 day period following a zoledronic acid infusion in post menopausal women with low bone mass.
Elderly, postmenopausal women with breast cancer on aromatase inhibitors are at increased risk of developing bone loss and osteoporosis. We postulate that in elderly, osteopenic postmenopausal women who are on aromatase inhibitor therapy, bisphosphonate therapy will (1) prevent bone loss at clinically relevant sites, such as the spine and hip and (2) decrease bone turnover.
Extreme magnesium deficiency is known to have an impact on the synthesis, secretion and/or action of calcium regulating hormones. Many older adults are at risk for less severe magnesium deficiency, since the majority of adults receive less than the Recommended Daily Allowance of magnesium. We hypothesize that magnesium supplementation will have a beneficial effect on calcium regulating hormones and markers of bone turnover.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of zoledronic acid with alendronate in the prevention of bone loss after organ transplantation. Zoledronic acid is given as a single intravenous infusion. Alendronate is given as a weekly pill. Both are expected to be very effective, but it is not known which one will work best.
The purpose of this study is to determine if supplemental vitamin K will reduce age-related bone loss in elderly men and women above that achieved by supplementation.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate whether pamidronate will preserve or increase bone mass in patients with adynamic bone disease, caused by low bone turnover.
Bisphosphonates are a type of drug used to prevent and treat bone loss. The purpose of this study is to determine if zoledronate, an investigational bisphosphonate, can improve bone mineral density (BMD) in HIV-infected adults. Study hypothesis: Zoledronate will reduce bone resorption in HIV-infected persons with osteopenia.
Osteoporosis affects millions of postmenopausal women in the USA. The current approved treatments are all drugs that prevent bone loss and possibly result in small gains in bone mass. Another possible treatment consists of drugs that increase bone formation. There are currently two drugs that stimulate bone formation, sodium fluoride and human parathyroid hormone (hPTH). Neither of these two drugs has been approved by the FDA. APOMINE has shown significant bone formation in animal studies. In this study we plan to test whether APOMINE is able to stimulate new bone formation in women with osteoporosis or low bone mass.
The primary purpose of this clinical trial is to determine whether low-dose doxycycline can reduce alveolar bone density loss in postmenopausal osteopenic women with periodontitis and not on hormone replacement therapy (i.e., estrogen deficient).
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of an investigational drug used intravenously and placebo administered every three months for one year, on bone loss associated with initial androgen deprivation) in men with prostate cancer without metastasis. In order to participate in this trial male patients must be 18 years of age or older and have been diagnosed with prostate cancer without metastasis and within one year of starting their androgen deprivation therapy at the day of randomization onto this trial. In addition, patients who have undergone a recent orchiectomy (or"ke-ek'te-me) (removal of one or two testes) are eligible to participate. Patients who received any prior bisphosphonate therapy or prior treatment with systemic corticosteroids within in the past 12 months are not eligible to participate. Also patients who are receiving treatment for osteoporosis are not eligible to participate. Inclusion into this clinical trial with this investigational drug is based on the protocol entry criteria and evaluation from a participating trial investigator.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether women with major depression lose bone mass at a faster rate than women without depression. This study will also determine if the drug alendronate can maintain or increase bone mass in premenopausal women with major depression and osteoporosis. Depression may be a major risk factor for osteoporosis; it is associated with abnormally elevated stress hormone levels that may contribute to bone loss. This study will evaluate bone mass in women with depression and healthy volunteers. Participants will undergo psychiatric, medical, dietary, and stress hormone evaluations and bone mineral density (BMD) measurements. Participants with depression will be divided into two groups: those with normal BMD and those with low BMD. Depressed participants with normal BMD will be compared to a control group of healthy premenopausal women with normal BMD and followed for 36 months. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) determinations will be made at months 6, 12, 24 and 36; bone turnover and endocrine parameters of depression will be measured every 3 to 6 months. Participants with depression and low BMD will be randomly assigned to receive either alendronate or placebo (an inactive pill) once a week for 24 months. Participants will receive calcium and vitamin D supplements daily. DEXA determinations will be performed at screening, and at Months 6, 12, 18 and 24; bone turnover and endocrine parameters of depression will be measured every 3 to 6 months. For both groups, up to four of the visits may optimally be done as inpatient stays of two nights. All remaining visits are as outpatients.
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the possible causes of bone loss in premenopausal or perimenopausal women.
