About this study

Official title: A 12-month, Multicenter, Double-blind, Randomized, Parallel Group Study Comparing 150 mg Once-a-month Risedronate and Placebo Using 3-dimensional Micro MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging).

The purpose of this trial is to compare the difference in bone microarchitecture of the distal radius at month 12 in postmenopausal osteopenic women treated with risedronate 150mg taken once a month compared to placebo.

Conditions

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent Change From Baseline in Erosion Index (A Ratio of Curve-like Structures to Plate-like Structures and is a Measure of the Degree of Structural Degradation) of the Distal Radius

    The percent was change from baseline in erosion index at the distal radius between the risedronate and placebo groups at Month 12 (the lower the percent change in erosion index, the greater the improvement of structural degradation); the last valid postbaseline measurement was to be used when the Month 12 value was missing (Last Observation Carried Forward or LOCF).

    NOTE: The study was unable to recruit sufficient numbers of patients to meet with the protocol specified numbers, thus it was terminated early after 5 months. No efficacy analyses were performed.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Erosion Index of the Distal Radius

    Study was terminated prior to acquiring any efficacy endpoints. No efficacy analyses were performed.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing risedronate in people with Osteoporosis, run by Warner Chilcott at 4 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 6 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States, Argentina. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Dec 2009). 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?

Percent Change From Baseline in Erosion Index (A Ratio of Curve-like Structures to Plate-like Structures and is a Measure of the Degree of Structural Degradation) of the Distal Radius (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 22 Apr 2013.
