About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Double-blind, Randomized, Active-controlled, Parallel Group, Noninferiority Study Comparing 75mg Risedronate Dosed on 2 Consecutive Days Monthly With 5mg Daily Risedronate in the Treatment of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis as Assessed Over 24 Months.

To confirm the non-inferiority of 75 mg risedronate tablets taken on 2 consecutive days per month as compared to 5 mg risedronate tablets taken daily in increasing bone mass in lumbar spine in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

To confirm the efficacy of 75 mg risedronate tablets taken on 2 consecutive days per month in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in increasing bone mass in proximal femur, femoral neck and femoral trochanter and decreasing bone resorption.

To confirm general safety of 75 mg risedronate tablets taken on 2 consecutive days per month as compared to 5 mg risedronate taken daily.

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 change from baseline in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) at

  2. Month 12 measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Efficacy:Percent change from baseline in Lumbar spine BMD at times other than Month 12, Proximal femur BMD and Bone turnover markers.

  2. Safety: AEs, clinical laboratory values, bone biopsies.

  3. Intact serum parathyroid hormone (PTH 1-84)before treatment and after 3, 12 and 24 months of treatment in approximately 25% of randomly selected trial participants.

  4. Physical examination before treatment and after 12 and 24 months of treatment.

A Phase 3 study testing Risedronate (HMR4003) in people with Osteoporosis Postmenopausal, run by Sanofi at 11 sites in 11 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 2 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 11 sites in United States, Argentina, Australia, Canada, Czechia and 6 more countries. 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 change from baseline in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) at. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Dec 2009.
