Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 55 to 85 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Ambulatory, postmenopausal women aged 55-85 years (at least 3 years have elapsed after menopausal) are included at the time of entry into the trial. They have to be free of severe or chronically disabling conditions other than osteoporosis.
  • The patient should have a documented (X-ray) prevalent osteoporotic vertebral fracture or non-vertebral fragility fracture (excluding major trauma). Vertebral deformities will be evaluated on lateral views of the thoracic and lumbar spine. T-12 will be visible on both views so that all vertebrae from T-4 to L-4 can be identified. The radiographs will be performed according to a standardized protocol.
  • L-1 through L-4 vertebrae must be without artifacts, multiple vertebral fractures; therefore at least 3 vertebrae should be without fractures, osteophytes, or other abnormalities that would interfere with the analysis of the posterior-anterior lumbar spine BMD measurement. The reading of the BMD, T-score should be in the range of - 2.0 and - 4.0 at least for one of the 2 sites measured (spine or hip).
  • The initial lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD assessment and the determination of the patient's eligibility for entry into the screening phase will be made by the central quality assurance for BMD. The central quality assurance center will determine the patient's eligibility for enrollment into the treatment phase. If the L-1 vertebra cannot be analyzed due to artifacts, vertebral fracture, osteophytes, or other abnormalities, that vertebra should be excluded from the analysis.
  • Women without language barriers, cooperative and expected to return for all follow-up procedures and who have given informed consent before entering the study and after being informed of the risks, medications, and procedures to be used in the study.
  • Normal or clinically insignificant abnormal laboratory values including serum calcium, PTH (1-84) levels and alkaline phosphatase.

Who cannot join

  • History of sprue, inflammatory bowel disease, or malabsorption syndrome in the 1 year prior to Visit 2.
  • History of nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis in the 2 years prior to Visit 2. Patients with any history of nephro- or urolithiasis must have an appropriate radiology study within 6 months prior to Visit 2. This radiology study, such as an intravenous pyelogram or a supine radiograph of the kidney-ureter-bladder, must document the absence of active disease.
  • History of other malignant neoplasms in the 5 years prior to screening, with the exception of superficial basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has been definitively treated. Patients with carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix treated definitively more than 1 year prior to entry into the study may enter the study.
  • Patients who have an increased baseline risk of osteosarcoma: Paget's disease of the bone or unexplained elevations of alkaline phosphatase; patients who have received radiation therapy involving the skeleton.
  • History of diseases which affect bone metabolism other than postmenopausal osteoporosis such as Paget's disease, renal osteodystrophy, osteomalacia, any secondary causes of osteoporosis, hypoparathyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, or hyperthyroidism.

What is being measured

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

  1. to compare the effect of treatment with teriparatide 20 micrograms/day subcutaneous with that of salmon calcitonin 100 IU/day subcutaneous on change in lumbar spine BMD in postmenopausal women with established osteoporosis.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. to compare the effect of treatment with teriparatide 20 micrograms/day with that of calcitonin 100 IU/day on change in femoral neck and total hip BMD in postmenopausal women with established osteoporosis

  2. to compare the effect of treatment with teriparatide 20 micrograms/day with that of calcitonin 100 IU/day on change in biochemical bone markers (bone specific alkaline phosphatase [BSAP] and Osteocalcin) at 3 and 6 months

  3. to assess safety as determined by physical examination, vital signs, clinical laboratory data and reports of adverse events.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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 12 Oct 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. 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?

to compare the effect of treatment with teriparatide 20 micrograms/day subcutaneous with that of salmon calcitonin 100 IU/day subcutaneous on change in lumbar spine BMD in postmenopausal women with established osteoporosis.. 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 12 Oct 2007.
