About this study

Official title: A Dose-response Study With Strontium Malonate in Postmenopausal Women. A 12 Week, Multi National, Double Blind, Randomized, 5 Arms, Parallel Group Placebo Controlled Open Label Active Controlled, Phase II Study With 3 Dose Levels of Strontium Malonate and Protelos Within Post Menopausal Women With a BMDT-score Below -1

The primary objective of the study is to compare dose-response effect of three dose levels of strontium malonate to placebo on bone resorption quantified by S-CTX-1 following 12 weeks of treatment.

Read the detailed description

275 post menopausal women are treated with either 750 mg strontium malonate, 1000 mg strontium malonate, 2000 mg strontium malonate, 2 g Protelos® or placebo.

Patients are treated for 12 weeks. A follow up period of 4 weeks is planned for the main study and a follow up period of 8 weeks is planned for approximately 20% of the patients to follow post treatment CTX-1 activity.

Apart from S-CTS-1 also response on other bio markers are evaluated as well as BMD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Strontium malonate in people with Osteoporosis, run by Osteologix at 9 sites in 2 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 8 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 23 Oct 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United Kingdom, Denmark. 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 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?

CTX-1. 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 23 Oct 2009.
