About this study

Official title: Study on Vascular Function, Sarcopenia and Pain in Treated Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

This study aims to follow a cohort of osteoporotic patients treated with anti-osteoporotic drugs and to evaluate the impact of these treatments on the osteoporosis-cardiovascular-sarcopenia triad and on pain.

Read the detailed description

Exploratory study involving functional explorations in longitudinal follow-up, initiated in parallel with a treatment indicated in the patient's usual care and management.

The main objective is the evaluation of the evolution of the vascular and endothelial function.

The secondary objectives are:

  1. To study the evolution of cardiovascular parameters,
  2. To study the evolution of sarcopenia,
  3. To study the evolution of quality of life and pain,
  4. To study the evolution of bone remodeling (by creating a collection of biological samples),
  5. To study the genetic predisposition of osteoporosis including the confirmation of known genetic markers and the potential identification of new genetic variants involved (by creating a biobank),
  6. To study epigenetic biomarkers in the osteoporosis patient population (by creating a biobank),
  7. To study the role of the microbiota in osteoporosis patients (by creating a biobank),
  8. To study the determinants of the evolution of the studied parameters and to identify trajectories (therapeutic response profiles).

As part of their usual care and management, patients will be diagnosed with osteoporosis and prescribed anti-osteoporotic drugs.

The patients will have six visits: a pre-selection visit that will take place in the Rheumatology Department of the Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital and five visits that will take place in the Clinical Investigation Platform/Clinical Investigation Center (PIC/CIC) Inserm 1405 of the Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital.

Visit 0 - Screening visit and diagnosis of osteoporosis T0-1: Rheumatology Department

During this visit, the investigator physician will perform various examinations and tests usually performed as part of the patient's usual care and management in order to establish a diagnosis of osteoporosis.

These examinations are as follows:

  • Bone densitometry less than one year old using Dual energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA),
  • Bone biological assessment, including the following tests: Complete Blood Count (CBC), platelets, C-Reactive Protein (CRP), urea, creatinine with CKD-EPI clearance calculation, liver enzymes (AST, ALT), serum calcium, serum calcium corrected by albumin, serum phosphorus, serum protein electrophoresis, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), 25 OH vitamin D, serum CTX (C-terminal telopeptides of type 1 collagen).

Some patients who require profile radiographs of the spine will have this examination added for the consultation, especially for the evaluation of vertebral fractures if the context justifies it. Other patients will also have these x-rays for the calculation of the abdominal aortic calcification score (Kauppila score) by the rheumatologist.

Body composition will be requested during the bone densitometry evaluation on the DXA machine.

Once the diagnosis of osteoporosis is confirmed, the physician will propose to the eligible patients to participate in this research protocol by explaining the objectives and the course of the study, and give them an information note in order to give them a necessary time of reflection of a maximum of one month, depending on the scheduling of the inclusion visit.

If patients are interested,the investigator physician will prescribe osteoporotic treatment to be started after the V1 (T0) inclusion visit.

Visit 1 - Inclusion visit - T0: PIC/CIC (2 hours)

During this visit, the physician will explain again the objectives and progress of the study with the different tests and questionnaires planned so that the patients can give their informed consent to participate.

What is being measured

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

  1. Endothelial dysfunction measured by FMD (Flow-Mediated Dilation) in patients with anti-osteoporotic treatment

    FMD is a non-invasive technique. It was assessed using an ultrasound approach with a high-resolution linear array transducer coupled with computer-assisted analysis software. With this software, changes in the brachial artery could be assessed in real-time through an automated edge detection system. Longitudinal images of the brachial artery were obtained with the transducer fixed on the medial aspect of the dominant arm, approximately 2 cm above the medial epicondyle of the humerus. The transducer was fixed on the arm by a special arm-holding device. The brachial artery diameter was acquired as per a 30 s baseline measure, after which a cuff was placed around forearm (3 cm above wrist) and inflated to 250 mm Hg for 5 min. After cuff deflation, the brachial artery diameter was continuously monitored for 2-4 min to detect the peak artery diameter. FMD was determined as the percentage change in diameter from baseline to peak arterial diameter.

  6. Microcirculation measurement by FLD (Flow Laser Doppler), PeriFlux® (Perimed)

    The Flowmetry by Laser Doppler (FLD) is a non-invasive and validated technique for continuous measurement of the endothelial dependent reactivity in local microcirculation. The flow estimated by this technique is based on the assessment of the Doppler shift of low-power laser light, which is scattered by moving red blood cells. Vascular endothelial function in the micro-vascular compartment is assessed using the laser-doppler system PeriFlux 5010 (Perimed) at the level of the skin of the hands by following the response to a reactive hyperemia induced by a temporary occlusion of the brachial artery (same stimulus as for FMD measurement).

  36. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

    The PSQI is a self-administered questionnaire with 19 items. It was developed to measure sleep quality in the month prior to the patient interview. This questionnaire includes 7 components: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, hypnotic medication use and daytime dysfunction.

    The global score (0 to 21) is obtained by adding the sub-scores of the 7 components, each ranging from 0 to 3 points. In the absence of an answer to one or more questions, the subtotal using this question cannot be calculated and will affect the overall score.

    The higher the overall score, the greater the impairment in sleep quality. An overall score >5 is an indicator of sleep disturbance.
