What is being measured

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

  1. Mean percent change in integral (cortical and trabecular bone compartments combined) hip bone mineral density (BMD) as determined by Volumetric Quantitative Computed Tomography (vQCT) at one year

    Measured: Year 1

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Mean percent change in BMD of the proximal femur and lumbar spine according to vQCT at one year

    Measured: Year 1

  2. Mean percent change of proximal femur and spine BMD according to Dual- Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scans

    Measured: Year 1

  3. Hip geometry assessed by cross-sectional dimensions of hip using vQCT

    Measured: Year 1

  4. Finite element composition of hip and spine to estimate hip and spine strength

    Measured: Year 1

  5. Hip geometry assessed by cross-sectional dimensions of hip using DXA

    Measured: Year 1

  6. Trabecular bone dimensions by bone biopsies using histomorphometry and micro computed tomography to assess bone quality

    Measured: Year 1

  7. Change from baseline for serum-C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of Type I collagen (Serum-CTX)

    Measured: Months 3, 6, 9, and 12

  8. Change from baseline for bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (Bone ALP)

    Measured: Months 3, 6, 9, and 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ibandronate in people with Osteoporosis, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 14 sites in United States.

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 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 8 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Mean percent change in integral (cortical and trabecular bone compartments combined) hip bone mineral density (BMD) as determined by Volumetric Quantitative Computed Tomography (vQCT) at one year (time frame: Year 1). 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 8 Nov 2016.
