About this study

Official title: Re-examination Study for General Drug Use to Assess the Safety and Efficacy Profile of FOSAMAX PLUS and FOSAMAX PLUS D in Usual Practice

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events

    Number of participants that experienced Serious Adverse events (SAE). There was no required routine visit scheduled for AE assessment. AEs were collected through participant self-reporting and assessed by investigators.

    SAEs were considered serious if the event resulted in:

    • death or was life-threatening
    • prolonged an existing inpatient hospitalization
    • a persistent or significant disability/ incapacity
    • a congenital anomaly/ birth defect
    • a significant medical situation, other important medical event based upon appropriate medical judgment of the investigator

    Measured: Up to ~ 16 weeks and 14 days after treatment discontinuation

  2. Number of Participants With Unexpected Adverse Events

    Number of participants that experienced unexpected Adverse Events (AEs) regardless of whether or not the AE was considered related to the use of the product. There was no required routine visit scheduled for AE assessment. An AE was defined as any unfavorable \& unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the product. Any worsening (any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the product, was also considered an AE.

    Measured: Up to ~ 16 weeks and 14 days after treatment discontinuation

  3. Number of Participants With Non-Serious AEs

    An AE was defined as any unfavorable \& unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the product, was also considered an AE. There was no required routine visit scheduled for AE assessment. AEs were collected through participant self-reporting and assessed by investigators.

    Measured: Up to ~ 16 weeks and 14 days after treatment discontinuation

  4. Number of Participants With Improved, Unchanged, or Worsened Disease

    Evaluation of disease improvement was conducted in 3 categories of "improved", "unchanged", or "worsened". Changes in biochemical markers and vitamin D levels were reviewed before (baseline) and after treatment using statistical analyses to determine disease status, which was reported as either "improved", "unchanged", or "worsened".

    Measured: Baseline and end of Treatment (Up to ~ 16 weeks)

  5. Change From Baseline in Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D at End of Treatment

    For efficacy evaluation, changes in Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D were evaluated before study drug administration and at end of study drug treatment. Change was calculated as the later time point (at ~16 weeks) minus the earlier time point (baseline). The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method was used. That is, the last observed non-missing value was used to fill in missing values at the later point in the study.

    Measured: Baseline and End of Treatment (Up to ~ 16 weeks)

  6. Change From Baseline in Serum Osteocalcin at End of Treatment

    For efficacy evaluation, changes in Serum Osteocalcin were evaluated before study drug administration and at end of study drug treatment. Change was calculated as the later time point (at ~16 weeks) minus the earlier time point (baseline). The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method was used. That is, the last observed non-missing value was used to fill in missing values at the later point in the study.

    Measured: Baseline and End of Treatment (Up to ~ 16 weeks)

  7. Change From Baseline in Urine Deoxypyridinoline at End of Treatment

    For efficacy evaluation, changes in Serum Deoxypyridinoline were evaluated before study drug administration and at end of study drug treatment. Change was calculated as the later time point (at ~16 weeks) minus the earlier time point (baseline). The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method was used. That is, the last observed non-missing value was used to fill in missing values at the later point in the study.

    Measured: Baseline and End of Treatment (Up to ~ 16 weeks)

  8. Change From Baseline in Alkaline Phosphatase at End of Treatment

    For efficacy evaluation, changes in Serum Alkaline Phosphatase were evaluated before study drug administration and at end of study drug treatment. Change was calculated as the later time point (at ~16 weeks) minus the earlier time point (baseline). The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method was used. That is, the last observed non-missing value was used to fill in missing values at the later point in the study.

    Measured: Baseline and End of Treatment (Up to ~ 16 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoporosis, run by Organon and Co.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 Feb 2022. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Sep 2011). 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?

Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (time frame: Up to ~ 16 weeks and 14 days after treatment discontinuation). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 Feb 2022.
