Read the detailed description

Research purposes: To assess the Impact of hormone therapy on quality of life in early post-menopausal women; To assess the Impact of hormone therapy on cardiovascular system in early post-menopausal women; To assess the Impact of hormone therapy on cognitive function in early post-menopausal women; To assess the Impact of hormone therapy on osteoporosis in early post-menopausal women.

Study Design:

The clinical trial research was divided into 2 groups. Treatment group given estradiol valerate 1mg/d, periodic application of medroxyprogesterone 6mg/d for 10 days, calcium 900mg/d, VitD200iu/d and exercise(Brisk walking every day 2 times, continued for 10 minutes each time). Control group given placebo, calcium,VitD and exercise were same with treatment group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing estradiol valerate in people with Osteoporosis, run by Peking Union Medical College.

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 12 inclusion and 13 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 17 Mar 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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 (time frame: 60 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 17 Mar 2009.
