About this study

Official title: Open Label Proof of Concept Study of IV Zoledronic Acid (ZA) 5 mg After Forteo in Postmenopausal Women

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the adequacy of zoledronic acid in maintaining bone mass after two years of treatment with Forteo, in postmenopausal women.

Read the detailed description

This will be a single center open label proof of concept study, recruiting subjects previously treated with Forteo for at least 12 months.

A screening period of 3 to 6 weeks will precede the treatment period. At the baseline visit, patients whose eligibility is confirmed will be treated with ZA and followed for 12 months. Safety and efficacy will be assessed at regular intervals (day one, day 10, month 2, month 6, month 9 and month 12). Renal safety will be assessed prior to the i.v. dose of study medication, day 10 after the i.v. dose of study medication and at 12 months. Bone density at the lumbar spine (L1-4) and total hip will be performed at 6 months and at the end of the 12 month treatment period. Biomarker analyses for secondary endpoint will be performed for at day 10, month 2, month 6, month 9 and month 12.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Lumbar Spine BMD (Bone Mineral Density) in g/cm^2 From Baseline to Month 12 Relative to Baseline as Measured by DXA (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry)

    Measured: Baseline and 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in Bone Density (Grams/cm^2) at the Total Hip at 6 and 12 Months

    Change in bone density (grams/cm^2) at the total hip at 6 and 12 months. 12 month reported based on usual interval for bone density follow-up in clinical practice.

    Measured: 6 months and 12 months

  2. Change in Serum C-telopeptide Type 1 Collagen (CTX) (at Day 10 and Months 2, 6, 9 and 12)

    Change in serum c-telopeptide type 1 collagen (CTX) (at day 10 and months 2, 6, 9 and 12. 12 month values reported based on 12 month duraton of zolendronic acid effect.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Change in Serum N-propeptide Type 1 Collagen (P1NP) (at Day 10 and Months 2, 6, 9 and 12)

    Change in serum n-propeptide type 1 collagen (P1NP) (at day 10 and months 2, 6, 9 and 12. 12 month values reported based on 12 month duraton of zolendronic acid effect.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing zoledronic acid in people with Osteoporosis, run by The Cleveland Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 32 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 21 Apr 2017. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Jan 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change in Lumbar Spine BMD (Bone Mineral Density) in g/cm^2 From Baseline to Month 12 Relative to Baseline as Measured by DXA (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry) (time frame: Baseline and 12 months). 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 21 Apr 2017.
