About this study

The aim of the study is to test whether the distal radius bone marrow show significant difference in the fat fraction in young women compared to post menopausal women with and without osteoporosis.

Read the detailed description

Patients of the Department of Endocrinology, who routinely perform bone density tests, DXA (Dual Energy X-ray absorpiometry) test on the lumbar spine, proximal femoral and distal radius, will be invited for a visit, and after signing the informed consent form, the following data will be collected: age, BMI, first menstrual period and last menstrual period, family history of osteoporosis, history of osteoporotic fractures, smoking, alcohol use and exercise habits. In addition, blood tests will be performed: calcium phosphate, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, vitamin D level, thyroid function, LH (Luteinizing Hormone) FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone), Estradiol, and serum bone turnover index (CTX P1NP). Amount of blood taken: 12 ml The patients will then be sent to the Alfredo Federico Strauss Center for Computerized Neuroimaging at Tel Aviv University for an MRI study of the distal radius. The study results will be analyzed by an expert bone radiologist from the Sourasky Medical Center to reject any kind of pathology (such as a fracture, inflammation, tumor), and further analyzed for bone marrow fat fraction by Tel Aviv University researchers. In the case of abnormal findings, they will be mentioned in the report and the participants will receive recommendations from the appropriate expert.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRI scans of distal radius in people with Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal, run by Uri Nevo at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 Mar 2020. 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 Israel. 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?

Fat fraction in bone marrow (time frame: 30 min- 1 hour). 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 NCT03742362, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Mar 2020.
