Trial summary

Prostate cancer patients treated with LHRH agonists (e.g., leuprolide) lose bone mineral density. This is similar to post-menopausal osteoporosis. Risedronate is approved to prevent osteoporosis. We hypothesize that risedronate may also be effective in prostate cancer patients treated with LHRH agonists. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Single-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicentre Study to Evaluate the Effect of Risedronate and Placebo on Bone Mineral Density in Men Undergoing Androgen Deprivation Therapy With Leuprolide Acetate

Prostate cancer patients treated with LHRH agonists (e.g., leuprolide) lose bone mineral density. This is similar to post-menopausal osteoporosis. Risedronate is approved to prevent osteoporosis. We hypothesize that risedronate may also be effective in prostate cancer patients treated with LHRH agonists.

Read the detailed description

IV bisphosphonates have proven effective in treating bone loss in prostate cancer patients treated with LHRH agonists. However, it is yet to be determined if an oral bisphosphonate such as risedronate could offer the same benefits.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing risedronate in people with Prostate Cancer, run by CMX Research at 21 sites in Canada.

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 7 inclusion and 10 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 3 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in Canada. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

bone mineral density of the lumbar spine (time frame: 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 3 Feb 2012.
