Trial summary

Alendronate should be considered as an alternative therapy of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) because it significantly increased areal bone mineral density (BMD) and its Z score, decreased fracture incidence, inhibited bone resorption biomarkers. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Alendronate in Chinese Children or Adolescents With Osteogenesis Imperfecta: an Age Stratified Prospective Study

Alendronate should be considered as an alternative therapy of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) because it significantly increased areal bone mineral density (BMD) and its Z score, decreased fracture incidence, inhibited bone resorption biomarkers. Alendronate exerted beneficial roles in different age brackets, especially in young patients with OI.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
an open label, prospective, self-controlled studyExperimentalChildren or adolescents under the age of 18 years old with minor trauma fracture were recruited from 30 provinces of China. The diagnosis of OI was made by endocrinology department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital(PUMCH).
Receives: Drug: Alendronate

What is being measured

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

  1. changes from baseline of areal BMD at lumbar spine and total hip

    Measured: baseline and 12,24,36 months

  2. annual clinical fracture incidence

    Measured: baseline and 12,24,36 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. changes of bone turnover biomarkers

    Measured: baseline and 6,12,24,36 months

  2. changes of height

    Measured: baseline and 12,24,36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Alendronate in people with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 10 Dec 2014. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

changes from baseline of areal BMD at lumbar spine and total hip (time frame: baseline and 12,24,36 months). The study lists 2 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 10 Dec 2014.
