Trial summary

In men, the hope of lower life, the absence of equivalent of menopause and the existence of a higher peak bone mass are three factors that explain the lower incidence of osteoporosis in men. Epidemiological data indicate a prevalence of 15% among men aged over 50 years (Szulc et al. 2000). Read more about this study

About this study

In men, the hope of lower life, the absence of equivalent of menopause and the existence of a higher peak bone mass are three factors that explain the lower incidence of osteoporosis in men. Epidemiological data indicate a prevalence of 15% among men aged over 50 years (Szulc et al. 2000). According to global analyzes, the number of fractures of the upper end of the femur in humans will increase from 400 000 to 800 000 per year between 2000 and 2025 (Kanis et al. 2004). Furthermore the mortality due to major osteoporotic fractures when they occur in humans than that seen in women (Johnell and al.2001).The main goal of this study is to establish reference curves in elderly male volunteers from 20 to 30 years through the assessment of bone mineral density of the spine, hip, and the measurement of body composition (fat mass, lean mass). This study will allow us to establish the mean and standard deviation of the value of the young adults of the same sex, which will eventually be applied in the calculation of the "T-score" for older people.

What is being measured

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

  1. bone mineral density of the spine

    to establish reference curves in elderly male volunteers from 20 to 30 years through the assessment of bone mineral density of the spine, hip, the measurement of body composition (fat mass, lean mass)

    Measured: Day 0

  2. bone mineral density of the hip

    to establish reference curves in elderly male volunteers from 20 to 30 years through the assessment of bone mineral density of the spine, hip, the measurement of body composition (fat mass, lean mass)

    Measured: Day 0

  3. body composition (fat mass, lean mass)

    to establish reference curves in elderly male volunteers from 20 to 30 years through the assessment of bone mineral density of the spine, hip, the measurement of body composition (fat mass, lean mass)

    Measured: day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bone densitometry measurement in people with Bone Mineral Density and Grip Strength, run by Centre Hospitalier Régional d'Orléans at 3 sites in France.

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 3 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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?

bone mineral density of the spine (time frame: Day 0). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03316625, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 May 2018.
