Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to validate a human saliva sample analyzer technique designed to screen for low bone density and osteoporosis. The analyzer technique is meant to be a simple, noninvasive, easy-to-use, cost-effective, and routine means of diagnosing bone turnover using a point-of-care device that monitors… Read more about this study

Study population: The study population consists of asymptomatic women 50 years of age or older who present for a screening mammogram and are at risk for low bone density or osteoporosis (N=200).

Who may be able to join

  • Female ≥50 years of age and referred for standard of care screening mammogram.
  • Ability to provide salivary samples.
  • Ability to lie flat on the CT scanner.
  • Ability and willingness to provide signed and dated informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Any known bone metabolism disorder (other than osteoporosis or low bone density) including sickle cell disease, current neoplastic disease, metastatic disease or any neoplastic disease involving the bones (including leukemia), or Paget's disease.
  • Body weight exceeds the weight limit (>400lbs) of the CT table.
  • Vulnerable subjects including pregnant women and prisoners.
  • Subjects who have had prior QCT imaging to measure bone density.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to validate a human saliva sample analyzer technique designed to screen for low bone density and osteoporosis. The analyzer technique is meant to be a simple, noninvasive, easy-to-use, cost-effective, and routine means of diagnosing bone turnover using a point-of-care device that monitors salivary markers of bone turnover in a screening patient population that is at risk for low bone density or osteoporosis.

Read the detailed description

Primary objective: To validate the performance of human saliva sample analyzer LFA technique against bone density as measured by quantitative computed tomography (QCT).

Secondary objective: To validate the performance of human saliva sample analyzer LFA technique against salivary ELISA method (gold standard).

Number of sites: Single site at the University of Mississippi Medical Center

The purpose of this prospective Phase II observational study is to further refine a proprietary device and test it in a screening population composed of women 50 years of age or older who are at risk for low bone density or osteoporosis (N=200). After screening for inclusion and exclusion criteria and obtaining informed consent, participants will provide a salivary sample and will undergo quantitative computed tomography (QCT) at the same visit (Visit 1, Day 0). No additional visits are planned. Bone mineral density (BMD) will be measured by diagnostic radiologists using QCT techniques and serve as the gold standard for the study. Salivary samples will be analyzed by a lab at UMMC for concentrations of osteocalcin (OC) and deoxypyridinoline (DPD) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniques, while blinded to BMD measurements. De-identified and coded salivary sample will be shipped to IOS who will measure concentrations of OC and DPD using lateral flow assay (LFA), while blinded to BMD measurements.

What participants receive

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

  • Quantitative computed tomography scan for bone density analysisRadiation

    A low radiation dose quantitative computed tomography (QCT) of the spine (L1 and L2) and the hips will be performed to measure bone density in the spine and hips.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoporosis, run by University of Mississippi Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 4 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 9 Feb 2017. 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 United States. 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?

Validation of human saliva sample analyzer LFA technique against measured bone density (time frame: 20 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 9 Feb 2017.
