About this study

Official title: A Two-year, Multicenter, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled and Parallel Group Study of Oral Risedronate 5 mg Daily in the Prevention of Osteoporosis in Osteopenic Postmenopausal Women (More Than 5 Years Postmenopausal)

To confirm the superiority of 5 mg daily risedronate as compared to placebo in maintaining or increasing bone mass in lumbar spine in osteopenic postmenopausal women

To confirm the efficacy of 5 mg daily risedronate in osteopenic postmenopausal women in maintaining or increasing bone mass in proximal femur and decreasing bone resorption

To confirm general safety of 5 mg daily risedronate as compared to placebo

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • risedronate (HMR4003)Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent changes from baseline in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) at Month 24 measured by DXA.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Percent changes in proximal femur BMD from baseline at month 12 and 24 (DXA)

  2. Percent of responders (subjects with a positive change in lumbar spine BMD from baseline)at Month 12 and 24

  3. Percent changes in bone turnover markers after 12 and 24 months of treatment

  4. Physical examination and hematology tests before and after 12 and 24 months of treatment;Serum Chemistry before and after 6, 12 and 24 months of treatment

  5. Occurrence of adverse events at each visit with special interest for upper gastro-intestinal events

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing risedronate (HMR4003) in people with Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal, run by Sanofi at 5 sites in 5 countries.

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 1 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 Dec 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Percent changes from baseline in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) at Month 24 measured by DXA.. 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 NCT00353080, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Dec 2009.
