Trial summary

Osteopenia is characterized by bone mineral density (BMD) being lower than normal but not reaching the osteoporosis threshold, poses a serious problem for women after menopause. Osteopenia is a precursor to osteoporosis that is associated with increased risk of fractures, morbidity, and mortality. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Calcium and Vitamin D, With and Without Collagen Peptide, in Enhancing Bone Mineral Density on Postmenopausal Women With Osteopenia: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

Osteopenia is characterized by bone mineral density (BMD) being lower than normal but not reaching the osteoporosis threshold, poses a serious problem for women after menopause. Osteopenia is a precursor to osteoporosis that is associated with increased risk of fractures, morbidity, and mortality. Using strategies to improve or maintain bone density is important for preventing osteoporosis and its associated complications. The combination of collagen peptide (CP) with calcium and vitamin D supplementation may provide several ways to improve bone health. This study aims to provide preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of traditional medicine in improving bone health through the effectiveness of CP.

Osteopenia is characterized by bone mineral density (BMD) being lower than normal but not reaching the osteoporosis threshold, poses a serious problem for women after menopause. Osteopenia is a precursor to osteoporosis that is associated with increased risk of fractures, morbidity, and mortality. Using strategies to improve or maintain bone density is important for preventing osteoporosis and its associated complications. The combination of collagen peptide (CP) with calcium and vitamin D supplementation may provide several ways to improve bone health. This study aims to provide preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of traditional medicine in improving bone health through the effectiveness of CP.The study was single blinded randomized controlled trial, involving 30 post-menopausal women that were equally divided into two groups by computer generated simple random sampling technique. Group A received bioactive collagen peptide along with calcium lactate, and vitamin D3. The control group (Group B) consisted of 15 participants who were given a chewable tablet daily, containing 1.25 grams of calcium carbonate (equivalent to 500 mg of elemental calcium) and 400 IU of vitamin D3.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fortibone and Chewable Tablet in people with Osteopenia, run by Frontier Medical and Dental College, Abbotabad at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 24 Jun 2024. 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 Pakistan. 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?

Blood Test (time frame: baseline and after 3 months). The study lists 4 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 24 Jun 2024.
