Trial summary

In the patients with osteoporosis, bisphosphonates (BPs) are a golden standard treatment. However, the bone turnover markers or the bone mineral density (BMD) are not improved in some osteoporotic patients even though they have taken BPs and alfacalcidol more than several years.

About this study

Official title: The Effectiveness of Eldecalcitol in the Osteoporotic Patients Who Are Bisphosphonate Non-responders After Long-term Bisphosphonate Treatment

In the patients with osteoporosis, bisphosphonates (BPs) are a golden standard treatment. However, the bone turnover markers or the bone mineral density (BMD) are not improved in some osteoporotic patients even though they have taken BPs and alfacalcidol more than several years. In those case, the investigators better off prescribing BPs and Eldecalcitol, instead of BPs and Alfacalcitol.

Read the detailed description

Alfacalcitol and Eldecalcitol are the similar vitamin D drugs. However, Eldecalcitol is an improved vitamin D drug than Alfacalcitol. Therefore, we investigate the effectiveness of Eldecalcitol in this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with bone turnover markers as a Measure of bone quality

    Bone formation and bone absorption markers will be evaluated at each time point

    Measured: At 4 months after the initial treatment

  2. Number of Participants with bone turnover markers as a Measure of bone quality

    Bone formation and bone absorption markers will be evaluated at each time point

    Measured: At 1 year after the initial treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants with bone mineral density as a Measure of bone quality

    Bone mineral density will be evaluated at each time point

    Measured: At 4 months after the initial treatment

  2. Number of Participants with bone mineral density as a Measure of bone quality

    Bone mineral density will be evaluated at each time point

    Measured: At 1 year after the initial treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Edirol in people with Osteoporosis, run by Shinshu University 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 2 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 21 Sep 2021. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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 Yukio Nakamura, MD, PhD (+81-263-37-2659, yxn14@aol.jp), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants with bone turnover markers as a Measure of bone quality (time frame: At 4 months after the initial treatment). 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 21 Sep 2021.
