About this study

Official title: a Six Month, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Active-controlled, Parallel Group Study to Estimate the Pharmacodynamic Response of Two Risedronate Regimens Compared With 5mg Daily : 150mg Monthly Dose for Six Months and 15mg Daily for Thirty Days Followed by 150mg Monthly Dose for 5 Months in Postmenopausal Women With Low Bone Density.

The primary objective of this pilot study is to estimate the percent change from baseline at Week 4, Month 6 in NTX bone turnover marker for a monthly 150mg dose of risedronate administered for 6 months and a loading dose regimen of risedronate over a 6 month treatment period both compared to a 5 mg daily dose of risedronate for 6 months

The secondary objectives are :

  • To estimate the percent change from baseline at specified visits other than Week 4, Month 6 in NTX for the monthly 150 mg dose of risedronate administered for 6 months and the loading dose regimen of risedronate over a 6 month treatment period both compared to the 5 mg daily dose of risedronate.
  • To estimate the percent change from baseline at all specified visits in serum CTX and bone specific alkaline phosphatase for the monthly 150 mg dose of risedronate administered for 6 months and the loading dose regimen of risedronate over a 6 month treatment period both compared to the 5 mg daily of risedronate.
  • To estimate the percent change from baseline at Month 6 in lumbar spine BMD for the monthly 150 mg dose of risedronate administered for 6 months and the loading dose regimen of risedronate over a 6 month treatment period both compared to the 5 mg daily dose of risedronate.
  • To evaluate the safety of the risedronate 150 mg monthly and the loading dose regimen.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing RISEDRONATE in people with OSTEOPOROSIS, POSTMENOPAUSAL, run by Sanofi.

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 6 inclusion and 19 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 17 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Urine NTX at week 4 of month 6. 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 17 Feb 2012.
