About this study

Official title: Bisphosphonates in Multicentric Osteolysis, Nodulosis and Arthropathy (MONA) Spectrum Disorder - an Alternative Therapeutic Approach

Multicentric osteolysis, nodulosis and arthropathy (MONA) spectrum disorder is a rare inherited progressive skeletal disorder caused by mutations in the matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) gene. Treatment options are limited. The investigators reviewed the outcome of patients affected with MONA and treated with intravenous bisphosphonates in the clinical Center.

Read the detailed description

Assessment of the patients:

After informed consent had been obtained from the patients affected from MONA spectrum disorder the investigators assessed the patients regarding the following characteristics: consanguinity, clinical symptoms at diseases on-set, age at on-set of symptoms and age at diagnosis, cognitive development, progression of clinical symptoms related to the diagnosis, molecular investigations, associated disorders as well as therapies besides bisphosphonate therapy. Informed consent from the patients was also obtained to publish the patient's photographs. All investigations are performed according to the relevant ethical guidelines.

Bisphosphonate therapy:

The reported patients received intravenous bisphosphonate therapy either with pamidronate (1 mg/kg/d on two consecutive days every 3 months) or zoledronate (a single dose of 0.05 mg/kg/day every 6 month).

Evaluation of disease progression and therapeutic success:

To assess both progression of MONA spectrum disorder and therapeutic success the patients were regularly evaluated clinically in 3 to 6 month intervals. Clinical evaluation comprised an internal, neurological and orthopaedic status as well as a general assessment of neurocognitive function. Additionally, need for oral analgesic therapy was documented. In irregular intervals, depending also on the clinical symptoms, x-rays of hand and feet were taken and a densitometry of the total body, lumbar spine and hip was performed.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bone Density and Pain, run by Medical University Innsbruck.

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 3 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 6 Jul 2016. 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.

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?

bone mineral density (time frame: 10 years). 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 6 Jul 2016.
