What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Percent Change in Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density (BMD) From Core Study Baseline, Month 6, Intention to Treat (ITT) Population

    Hologic or Lunar Machines: same equipment used in prior study should be used for all patient visits. sBMD (standardized BMD): Lunar sBMD = 952.2*BMD, Hologic sBMD = 1075.5*BMD. All scans analyzed centrally by Synarc (Portland, OR).

    Measured: Baseline Core Study (Year 1) to Month 6 (Year 8)

Normalized baseline femoral neck BMD lunar equipment only 0.836*BMD - 0.008; Hologic reference. All scans analyzed centrally by Synarc (Portland, OR).

    Measured: Baseline Core Study (Year 1) to Month 12/Endpoint (Year 8)

  7. Mean Percent Change in Femoral Trochanter BMD From Core Study Baseline, Month 6, ITT Population

    Month 6, Year 8 compared to Baseline, Year 1. Allowed equipment Hologic or Lunar. Same equipment used in prior study should be used for all patient visits. All scans analyzed centrally by Synarc (Portland, OR).

    Measured: Baseline Core Study (Year 1) to Month 6 (Year 8)

  8. Mean Percent Change in Femoral Trochanter BMD From Core Study Baseline, Month 12, ITT Population

    Baseline, year 1 compared with Month 12, year 8. Allowed equipment Hologic or Lunar. Same equipment used in prior study should be used for all patient visits. All scans analyzed centrally by Synarc (Portland, OR).

    Measured: Baseline Core Study (Year 1) to Month 12 (Year 8)

  9. Mean Percent Change in Femoral Trochanter BMD From Core Study Baseline, Month 12/Endpoint, ITT Population

    Endpoint is the last measurement during the treatment period (through Month 12, Year 8) compared with baseline Year 1. Allowed equipment Hologic or Lunar. Same equipment used in prior study should be used for all patient visits. All scans analyzed centrally by Synarc (Portland, OR).

    Measured: Baseline Core Study (Year 1) to Month 12/Endpoint (Year 8)

  10. Mean Percent Change in Total Proximal Femur BMD From Core Study Baseline, Month 6, ITT Population

    Baseline, Year 1 compared with Month 6, Year 8. Allowed equipment Hologic or Lunar. Same equipment used in prior study should be used for all patient visits. All scans analyzed centrally by Synarc (Portland, OR).

    Measured: Baseline Core Study (Year 1) to Month 6 (Year 8)

  11. Mean Percent Change in Total Proximal Femur BMD From Core Study Baseline, Month 12, ITT Population

    Baseline, Year 1 compared with Month 12, Year 8. Allowed equipment Hologic or Lunar. Same equipment used in prior study should be used for all patient visits. All scans analyzed centrally by Synarc (Portland, OR).

    Measured: Baseline Core Study (Year 1) to Month 12 (Year 8)

  12. Mean Percent Change in Total Proximal Femur BMD From Core Study Baseline, Month 12/Endpoint, ITT Population

    Baseline, Year 1 compared with Endpoint (last measurement during the treatment period through Month 12), Year 8. Allowed equipment Hologic or Lunar. Same equipment used in prior study should be used for all patient visits. All scans analyzed centrally by Synarc (Portland, OR).

    Measured: Baseline Core Study (Year 1) to Month 12/Endpoint (Year 8)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Risedronate in people with Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis, run by Warner Chilcott at 13 sites in 8 countries.

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 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 2 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Poland, Australia, Spain, Belgium, Denmark and 3 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 26 Oct 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?

Mean Percent Change in Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density (BMD) From Core Study Baseline, Month 6, Intention to Treat (ITT) Population (time frame: Baseline Core Study (Year 1) to Month 6 (Year 8)). The study lists 12 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 2 Nov 2011.
