About this study

Official title: Radiological, Biological, Genetic and Micro-architectural Bone Determinants of Fractures in Men With Low Bone Mineral Density

Rational: Osteoporosis in men is responsible for one third of fragility fractures. However the definition and especially the determinants of fracture in humans are less well known than in women.

Primary Objective: To search radiologic, biochemical, genetic and micro-architecture bone factors associated to fractures in men with low bone density.

Study design: case/control study (fracture vs. no fracture) with men selected according to low bone density (Z-score<-2).

Eligibility criteria: Included subjects will be men whose age is ³ 40 and £ 70 years with a Z-score< -2 at least at one of the 3 measured sites (wrist, lumbar spine, femoral neck). Subjects with secondary osteoporosis will be excluded (corticosteroid treatment, hypogonadism, …) Progress of the study: The recruitment will be over two years. The study will include two periods, an inclusion visit and a period of 3 months to achieve radiological and biological examinations. The subjects will be recruited in the 3 rheumatology departments (LARIBOISIERE, COCHIN). Subjects will be investigated at LARIBOISIERE hospital to perform radiological examinations and biological sampling for laboratory tests within 3 months of enrollment.

Evaluation criteria: Biochemistry: dosages of sexual steroids, bone remodeling markers and homocysteine; Genetic: evaluation of polymorphism of candidates genes associated to fragility fractures (collagen type I, homocysteine, LRP5); Radiology: evaluation of bone micro-architecture with a scan of lumbar spine and hip and peripheral micro-scan (XTREME sSCANCO) and bone densitometry at spine, femoral neck and wrist.

Duration of participation: there is no follow up Total duration of the study: 2 years and 3 months. Number of subjects: 100 patients with fracture and 100 controls without fracture

Read the detailed description

Statistical Analysis: Relationship between computed scan parameters at different sites, bone micro-architectural parameters (peripheral scan), biological parameters, genetic markers and the occurrence of fracture will be analyzed initially by univariate analysis (screening process). This will help to reduce the number of variables analyzed at the second stage of analysis (i.e. multivariate analysis).

Expected results: This study will help to evaluate radiological, biochemical and genetic determinants of bone quality in men with decreased bone density. It will help to establish a prospective study to evaluate predictive factors of fractures in men.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • RadiologyOther

    Spine radiography, densitometry, evaluation of bone architecture and micro-architecture (computed tomography of lumbar spine and hip and peripheral micro-scanner (XREME SCANCO) at tibia and wrist).

  • Biological, biochemical and genetic samplesOther

    *Serum calcium and phosphore evaluation, bone remodeling markers, 25-hydroxyvitamin D level assessment: Blood samples plasma (5 ml):Creatin, calcemia, phosphoremia, alkaline phosphatase, bone alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, CTX, 25 hydroxyvitamin D and parathormone

    Urinary samples :

    Deoxy-pyridinoline, creatinuria Fasting morning urine on a sample Calciuria, creatinuria, cortisoluria Day urine on a sample

    *Assessment of possible determinants of fractures in man

    Blood samples plasma (5 ml):

    • Sexual Hormones: Estradiol, Testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH
    • Homocysteine
    • IGF1
    • Extraction of DNA for a genetic polymorphism study:

    Sample of 10 ml of blood on EDTA for DNA extraction.

    Tested polymorphisms will be: LRP5, CYP19 (Aromatase), COL1A1 (Collagen I),MHTFR, IGF-1,VDR vitamin D receptor

    Globally 20 ml of blood will be taken for each subject. Every biological sample for biochemical dosages and for genetic analysis will be preserved in an anonymous way.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Radiology and Biological, biochemical and genetic samples in people with Osteoporosis, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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 Jul 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 France. 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?

Biochemical (time frame: up to 90 days). The study lists 3 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 Jul 2012.
