About this study

This project wills to determine the incidence of osteoporosis in our population of HIV-infected patients and to assess the efficacy and security of ibandronate, whose efficacy in post-menopausal women has already been proved.

Read the detailed description

The lower bone mineral density that has been described in patients with HIV-infection has not meant an increase of long term complications. Nevertheless, it could involve an increase if the associated co-mordibity in the future, taking in care that in general population osteoporosis increases 4 times the pathologic fracture risk. That's why it is necessary to know the real prevalence of osteoporosis in this population of patients so the real dimensions of the problems can be defined.

This project wills to determine the incidence of osteoporosis in our population of HIV-infected patients and to assess the efficacy and security of ibandronate, whose efficacy in post-menopausal women has been already proved. If the quarterly use of endovenous ibandronate obtains equivalent results to those obtained with oral and weekly alendronate in other studies with the same population, its use would be justified because of its posology benefits. The monthly or quarterly administration can improve compliance in patients who are recieving a big quantity of drugs, as HIV infected patients do and who probably have to be treated for life. Moreover, its elimination is renal so there is absence of interactions with antiretroviral drugs what mades of ibandronate a very promising alternative. Finally, there's no risk of digestive intolerance because of its parenteral administration and it has a better posology than oral bifosfonates.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ibandronate and Lifestyle modifications in people with HIV Infections, run by Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital at 1 site in Spain.

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 5 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2019. 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 Spain. 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 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Increase in lumbar (L2-4) and femoral (trochanter, femur neck, total femur and hip) t-score bone mineral density (time frame: BL, W24, W48, W72, W96). 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 13 Mar 2019.
