About this study

Official title: A Randomized Open-Label Study to Investigate the Impact of Bone Marker Feedback at 3 Months on Adherence to Monthly Oral Bonviva in Women With Post-Menopausal Osteoporosis Supported by a Patient Relationship Program

This 2 arm study will assess the impact of bone marker feedback (BMF), using serum carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks (CTX) and communication of results at 3 months, on adherence to once monthly ibandronate (150 milligrams [mg] per oral [po]) in women with post-menopausal osteoporosis supported by patient-relationship program (PRP). Participants will be randomized either to receive BMF or no BMF; both groups will be supported by PRP. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months.

What participants receive

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

  • IbandronateDrug

    Also called Bonviva, Boniva

    Participants will receive ibandronate 150 mg QM orally for 6 months.

Study groups in NCT00545363
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Bone Marker Feedback (BMF) ParticipantsExperimentalPostmenopausal women will receive ibandronate 150 milligrams (mg) once monthly (QM) orally for 6 months. Participants, in this arm, will receive BMF at Month 3. BMF will be given in terms of providing serum carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks (CTX) level at Month 3. A "BMF-form" will be provided to the physicians to allow offering the bone marker result in an easy way. Participants will be informed if their results are within or outside of the desired range. In addition, participants will also supported by PRP, to be carried out by supplying alarm devices, specifically designed to support the participant's regular drug intake.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Adherence to Treatment

    Participants were considered adherent to treatment if they took at least 83 percent (%) of their assigned medications (5 of the 6 monthly ibandronate tablets) within the -1 to +21 days of their osteoporosis treatment date each month. Participant adherence was assessed by maintaining records of 'drug dispensed' and 'drug returned' on case report form (CRF) and participant's self-report on Visit 2 (Month 3) and final study visit (Month 6). A drug dispensing log was maintained by the investigator. Participants were instructed at the baseline visit and Visit 2 to save and return unused or partially used medication packages on Visit 2 and final study visit, respectively.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Osteoporosis Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (OPSAT-Q) Composite Satisfaction High Scores

    The OPSAT-Q is a validated questionnaire designed to capture satisfaction with bisphosphonate treatment. It comprises four domains: convenience (questions 1 - 6), quality of life (questions 7 and 8), overall satisfaction (questions 9 and 10), and side effects (questions 11 - 16). Satisfaction with treatment was assessed using the OPSAT-Q composite satisfaction score, which was the average of the scores from the four domains of the OPSAT-Q converted to a 0 - 100-point scale. Higher scores indicated greater treatment satisfaction. A score of 80 or more was considered as high score.

    Measured: At Month 6

  2. Percentage of Participants With Osteoporosis Patient Perception Survey (OPPS) and Osteoporosis Medical Care Satisfaction Questionnaire (OMSQ) Composite Satisfaction High Score

    OPPS: A standardized 6-item satisfaction questionnaire for osteoporosis medical care and treatment received during the study. Individual item score was transformed and converted to a 0 to 100 scale where higher score indicated greater satisfaction. The composite score was the average of individual item scores (transformed) and ranged from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicated greater satisfaction. OMSQ: A standardized 18-item satisfaction questionnaire for osteoporosis medical care, treatment received and blood test and their results during the study. Individual item score was transformed and converted to a 0 to 100 scale where higher score indicated greater satisfaction. The composite score was the average of individual item scores (transformed) and ranged from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicated greater satisfaction.

    Measured: At Month 6

  3. Percent Change From Baseline in CTX Based on Adherence to Ibandronate

    Serum CTX, a biochemical marker of bone resorption, was assessed for all participants at baseline and at final visit (Month 6). The sampling was done at the same time of the day each time to overcome the effect of circadian fluctuations. Participants were considered adherent to treatment if they took at least 83% of their assigned medications (5 of the 6 monthly ibandronate tablets) within the -1 to +21 days of their osteoporosis treatment date each month. Participant adherence was assessed by maintaining records of 'drug dispensed' and 'drug returned' on CRF and participant's self-report on Visit 2 (Month 3) and final study visit (Month 6). A drug dispensing log was maintained by the investigator. Participants were instructed at the baseline visit and Visit 2 to save and return unused or partially used medication packages on Visit 2 and final study visit, respectively.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ibandronate in people with Postmenopausal Osteoporosis, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 52 sites in 7 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 52 sites in Russia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and 2 more countries. 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Oct 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Participants With Adherence to Treatment (time frame: Up to 6 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 24 Oct 2016.
