About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Denosumab Treatment in Bisphosphonate Unresponsive Postmenopausal Osteoporotic

This study, which was designed as a prospective observational study, was planned to enroll 75 female patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis who had been using bisphosphonates for more than two years and did not respond to treatment. 2 doses of denosumab were administered to the patients every 6 months. Bone mineral density of patients were measured with DEXA at the beginning and end of the study. A total of 66 patients completed the study.

At the end of the study, there was a significant improvement in the femur and lumbar total bone mineral density of the patients compared to the baseline. However, no statistically significant difference was found in terms of the frequency of new fractures.

Being tested
Denosumab 60 MG/ML
Medical subject headings
Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal

What participants receive

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

  • Denosumab 60 MG/MLDrug

    Denosumab, another antiresorptive agent, is a fully human monoclonal IgG2 antibody that binds to the receptor activator of the nuclear factor-kB ligand (RANKL) with high specificity and affinity. Denosumab inhibits bone resorption by affecting the development, activation, and survival of osteoclasts.

    Denosumab 60 mg subcutaneously was administered to the patients whose consent forms were obtained, once every 6 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Bone mineral density

    Femur and spine bone mineral density measurements of the patients at the baseline and the 12th month were performed using the Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) machine (Stratos dR 2D Fan-Beam, DMS company, France).

    Measured: 12 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Major Bone Fracture

    number of newly developed vertebral and femur fractures during follow-up

    Measured: 12 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis, run by Nigde Omer Halisdemir University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 7 inclusion and 7 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 1 Sep 2021. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 (time frame: 12 month). 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 NCT04702204, 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 1 Sep 2021.
