Trial summary

About this study

Patients with hip fractures have suffered the most devastating consequence of osteoporosis; and yet, they are rarely if ever tested or treated for the condition, even though they remain at high risk of recurrent fracture.

We hypothesize that, compared with usual care, an allied health professional-run osteoporosis service (case management) will be able to increase testing and treatment of osteoporosis in patients at high risk of fracture.

What is being measured

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

  1. The proportion of patients taking bisphosphonate therapy within 6 months of hip fracture

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Proportion of patients taking prescription osteoporosis treatment at 6 months and 12 months

  2. Proportion in receipt of a BMD test at 6 months and 12 months

  3. Proportion still adherent to osteoporosis treatments at 6 months and 12 months

  4. Proportion of patients with recurrent fractures at 6 months and 12 months

  5. Cost effectiveness analyses

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Allied health professional-run osteoporosis service ("case-management") in people with Osteoporosis and Hip Fracture, run by University of Alberta at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 15 Sep 2006. 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 Canada. 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.

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?

The proportion of patients taking bisphosphonate therapy within 6 months of hip fracture. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00175175, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 15 Sep 2006.
