Trial summary

In this study, the investigators would like to analyze the bone mineral density (BMD) , bone turnover makers, and fracture prevention effects of daily teriparatide in Japanese patients under clinical practice. The participants are treated in the investigators hospital, who are under severe osteoporotic condition. Read more about this study

About this study

In this study, the investigators would like to analyze the bone mineral density (BMD) , bone turnover makers, and fracture prevention effects of daily teriparatide in Japanese patients under clinical practice. The participants are treated in the investigators hospital, who are under severe osteoporotic condition.

Several determinants were reported to be related to subsequent BMD increase, such as baseline bone turnover markers (BTMs), low BMD at baseline, age, prior treatment, but comprehensive discussion is lacking. Specifically, there analyses were performed fragmentarily.

The main objective of this study is to reveal the determinants of subsequent BMD increase and fracture preventing effect by teriparatide.

Next, in Japan, as the baby boom generation retires, aging and depopulation occur rapidly. As a result, there is a lot of nursing home. But there are few reports concerning to the efficacy of teriparatide treatment in nursing home patients. The second objective is to reveal the efficacy of teriparatide for patients living nursing home, especially BMD changes, bone turnover makers change, and adverse events.

Read the detailed description

Registry criteria: Patients treated in the investigators hospital using teriparatide. Enrolled patients are severe osteoporosis; more than two previous osteoporotic fractures, low BMD (< young adult mean 65%).

Interventions: blood analyses and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) every 4 months Informed consent: Written informed consent will be obtained. Sample size: Five-hundreds participants

What is being measured

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

  1. The determinants related to BMD increase and fracture prevention for teriparatide treatment

    The investigators plan to analyze 500 patients who undergo teriparatide treatments 12 months. To enroll 500 participants, up to 24 months is required beside 12 months treatment periods.

    We investigate several determinants related to BMD increase, such as baseline age, gender, body mass index, BMD, BTMs, history of fracture, and prior treatment. We also investigate determinants related to fracture prevention effects by teriparatide treatment, such as baseline age, gender, body mass index, BMD, BTMs, history of fracture, prior treatment, walking ability, dementia,and site of living.

    To determine the response variables of BMD changes and fracture prevention effects, initially univariate analyses are performed by Spearman correlation coefficients and Mann-Whitney U test. Data are further analyzed with a multiple regression. To estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) of each determinants, logistic regression analyses are performed.

    Measured: Up to 36 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. BMD and BTMs response, and fracture prevention effects of teriparatide for the patients in nursing home

    We plan to evaluate longitudinal BMD and BTMs changes for 24 months. BMD was evaluated every four months, ans BTMs are evaluated one months after treatment, and every four months. Fracture prevention effects are evaluated by radiography, if fracture is suspected. Statical analyses are performed using Spearman correlation coefficients, paired t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Oct 2014

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoporosis, run by Tomidahama Hospital at 1 site in Japan.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 2016. 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 Japan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Rui Niimi, MD, PhD ((81)-59-365-0023, furikakefuri@hotmail.co.jp), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The determinants related to BMD increase and fracture prevention for teriparatide treatment (time frame: Up to 36 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 19 Oct 2016.
