About this study

Official title: Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled and Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Impact of One Year Therapy With Monthly Oral Ibandronate 150 mg on Structural Properties of Bone in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis Without Vertebral Fractures

Efficacy:

To investigate changes of structural bone properties in vivo using 3DpQCT ("Xtreme" CT, Scanco) in monthly oral ibandronate therapy for women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Major structural bone parameters which determine bone strength and predict fracture risk earlier and more precisely are measurable in vivo by 3DpQCT.

Safety:

To assess the tolerability and safety of ibandronate therapy

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ibandronate, calcium and vitamin D in people with Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal, run by Charite University, Berlin, Germany at 1 site in Germany.

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 6 inclusion and 19 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 28 Jan 2009. 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 Germany. 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?

BV/TV and trab. Sp. measured by 3D pQCT device (time frame: Baseline and after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months). 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 28 Jan 2009.
