About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Daily-dose, Proof-of-concept Study of a Vitamin D Compound in Postmenopausal Women With Osteopenia

This study will evaluate the effect of a 1-year administration of the vitamin D analog 2-methylene-19-nor-(20S)-1alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (DP001) on bone mineral density (BMD), safety, and tolerability.

Read the detailed description

DP001 is a vitamin D analog that has been shown to stimulate bone formation in pre-clinical studies. In a Phase 1B study of postmenopausal women, an increase in the bone formation marker, osteocalcin, was evident without an increase in serum calcium. The aim of this study is to determine if 1-year administration of DP001 to postmenopausal women with osteopenia results in a significant increase in BMD at doses that are safe and well tolerated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing DP001 in people with Osteoporosis, run by Deltanoid Pharmaceuticals at 9 sites in United States.

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 8 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 11 Jan 2010. 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 States. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Jan 2010). 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 Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at Week 52 (time frame: Baseline and Week 52). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00715676, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 11 Jan 2010.
