Trial summary

This study will look to see if there are changes in the blood cells that are associated with bone disease and sort out effects that are due to the HIV virus itself, the medications and see if faster aging occurs in the cells of HIV infected persons. Bone disease will be measured by a special X-ray called a DEXA scan. Read more about this study

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 50 to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: 100 HIV-infected adults, age 50 years or older, on HAART with undetectable viral loads, who are randomly sampled from 6 strata defined by ethnicity (Black:White:Hispanic; 2:1:1) and sex (male:female; 1:1). 100 HIV+ adults, age ≥ 50 yr (50 ♂, 50 ♀; 50 AA, 25 W, 25 H).

Who may be able to join

  • HIV-1 infection documented by ELISA and confirmed by western blot
  • Treatment with antiretroviral drugs for at least 12 months
  • Age 50-70 years
  • CD4 count > 350 cells/mm3 for at least 6 months
  • HIV-RNA undetectable (< 75 copies/ml for at least 6 months)

Who cannot join

  • Known bone disease (primary or metastatic malignancy, osteomalacia)
  • Treatment for bone disease (bisphosphonates, calcitonin, strontium, sodium fluoride, synthetic PTH, or high-dose vitamin D [> 800 IU daily]).

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study on the Immunopathogenesis of Bone Disease in Older HIV-infected Adults

This study will look to see if there are changes in the blood cells that are associated with bone disease and sort out effects that are due to the HIV virus itself, the medications and see if faster aging occurs in the cells of HIV infected persons. Bone disease will be measured by a special X-ray called a DEXA scan. A DEXA scan is used by doctors to see if someone has normal bone mass for their age or if there is thinning of the bones.

The purposes of this study are:

  • to learn how common bone disease is in HIV infected patients over the age of 50 years that receive their care at the CORE Center
  • to see what are the common causes of bone disease in older HIV infected persons
  • to see if there are differences in blood cells and levels of cytokines in patients who do or do not have bone disease, as this may help researchers determine the cause of bone disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteopenia and Osteoporosis, run by Ruth M. Rothstein CORE Center at 1 site 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 2 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 3 Aug 2012. 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 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Assess the associations between outcome (bone density) and predictors (markers of inflammation and immune activation) using continuous variables (time frame: 6 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 3 Aug 2012.
