If using any anti-osteoporotic agent other than calcium preparations (i.e., contraindicated for concomitant use stipulated in the protocol of this post-marketing study), such agent must be discontinued. Even after the discontinuation, calcium dosing is permitted with a condition that the subsequent use is started after a 8-week elapse from the discontinuation.
  • Patients with primary osteoporosis (diagnosed according to "Diagnostic Criteria for Primary Osteoporosis issued by the Japanese Society for Bone and Mineral Research (1995)."
  • Post-menopausal patients aged 50 years or older.
  • Patients who agree to participate in a 4-year follow-up observation.
  • Patients who provide written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Patients on warfarin potassium (Warfarin®) therapy.
  • Patients with hypercalcemia.
  • Patietns with renal calculus.
  • Patients with a known history of hypersensitivity to calcium or menatetrenone preparations.
  • Patients with severe complication in the hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, cardio- and cerebrovascular system.
  • Patients who underwent bilateral ovariectomy.

  • Patients with radiotherapy in the pelvis or para-aortic area.
  • Patients with the following X-ray findings;
  • Patients showing osteophytes connecting with adjacent vertebral osteophytes
  • Patients showing hyperostosis of ligament around the vertebral body
  • Patients showing inter-body fusion
  • Patients who experienced surgical intervention(s) in the spine
  • Patients with scoliosis which disturbs a diagnosing of vertebral fracture
  • Patients who have been treated with anti-osteoporotic agents, other than calcium preparation, within 8 months prior to the study treatment (but not applied to the following; if discontinued, non-treated, or shifted to calcium monotherapy for 8 weeks or longer before starting the study treatment).

  • Patients who are likely to show insufficient absorption of liposoluble agents such as biliary atresia, impaired bile secretion, etc.

About this study

To investigate a new incidence and preventive effect of menatetrenone on vertebral fracture in patients with osteoporosis who were randomly assigned to either treatment arm receiving daily dose of calcium supplement as a monotherapy (calcium monotherapy group) or menatetrenone plus calcium supplement as a combination therapy (menatetrenone combo therapy group) for 36 months, followed by a 12-month follow-up observation to examine the preventive effect on the fracture risk.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. New incidence of vertebral fracture at 36 months. vertebral fracture is morphological transformation.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. New incidence of clinical fracture (upper forelimb, femur, radius, and vertebral fracture associated with severe trauma that can cause fracture in normal bones of young adults) at 48 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing MENATETRANONE in people with Osteoporosis, run by Eisai Limited at 1 site in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jan 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

New incidence of vertebral fracture at 36 months. vertebral fracture is morphological transformation.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Jan 2010.
