Trial summary

Low bone mineral density (BMD) is commonly reported in patients receiving home parenteral nutrition (HPN). Denosumab represent a new drug, which helped to prevent osteoclast. The aim of the study was to assess its value in chronic intestinal failure patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Denosumab Counteracts Metabolic Bone Disease in Chronic Intestinal Failure Patients: A Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial

Low bone mineral density (BMD) is commonly reported in patients receiving home parenteral nutrition (HPN). Denosumab represent a new drug, which helped to prevent osteoclast. The aim of the study was to assess its value in chronic intestinal failure patients.

Read the detailed description

Low bone mineral density (BMD) is commonly reported in patients receiving home parenteral nutrition (HPN). Oral and intravenous calcium, vitamin D and bisphosphonates have been commonly used to treat BMD, but their efficiency is may be inadequate due to limited absorption and compliance. Denosumab represent a new drug, which helped to prevent osteoclast development and activation, hence decreased bone resorption in some studies. The aim of the study was to assess its value in chronic intestinal failure patients receiving HPN.

Between November 2011 and March 2013 denosumab was administered to 16 HPN patients (9 F, 7 M mean age 55.4) with intestinal failure. Regional dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry of spine and hip were performed before the therapy was initiated, and after 12 months. BMD, T-score and Z-score were measured.

What is being measured

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

  1. Improvement of bone structure: Spine

    The increase of spine bone density measured by the change of Standard Deviation (SD) measured by DEXA at the level L1-L4

    Measured: 36 months

  2. Improvement of bone structure: Femur

    The increase of femur bone density measured by the change of Standard Deviation (SD) measured by DEXA at femur trochanter and shaft

    Measured: 36 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Treatment tolerance: gastrointestinal

    The presence of adverse events from gastrointestinal tract: nausea, vomiting, diarhhoea

    Measured: 36 months

  2. Treatment tolerance: bone pain

    The presence of bone pain assessed with VAS score

    Measured: 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Denosumab in people with Metabolic Bone Disease, run by Stanley Dudrick's Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Poland.

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 2 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 3 Aug 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 Poland. 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 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?

Improvement of bone structure: Spine (time frame: 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 3 Aug 2016.
