  • Have centrally read total hip, femoral neck or lumbar spine T-score less than or equal to -2.5

Who cannot join

  • Have known current metabolic bone disorders other than low bone mass, such as hyperparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophy, or osteomalacia.
  • Have known, suspected, or history of carcinoma of the breast or estrogen-dependent neoplasia (e.g., endometrial or uterine carcinoma), except for hysterectomized patients with a history of carcinoma in situ of the uterus. For other cancers, be disease free and in remission from all other cancers for 5 or more years, except for excised superficial lesions, such as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
  • Have demonstrated or suspected allergy to raloxifene or arzoxifene
  • Have unexplained or abnormal vaginal bleeding within 6 months prior to Visit 1 or between Visit 1 and Visit 2.

Show all 18Show fewer
  • Have Papanicolaou's tests showing malignant or premalignant findings.
  • Have active or any past history of thromboembolic events
  • Have active or any past history of atrial fibrillation.
  • Have a history of cerebrovascular accident or documented transient ischemic attack at any time in the past.
  • Have acute or chronic liver disease defined as alanine aminotransaminase (ALT) >100 U/L, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) >400 U/L, or late stage cirrhosis without transaminase elevations.
  • Have impaired kidney function (serum creatinine >177 micromol/L or >2.0 mg/dL).
  • Have vitamin D deficiency prior to enrollment (Visit 2; 25-hydroxyvitamin D less than10 ng/mL or less than 24.9 nmol/L).
  • Have any known, severe, or untreated malabsorption syndromes.
  • Have endocrine disorders requiring pharmacologic therapy except for type II diabetes and hypothyroidism. Patients on a stable dose of thyroid replacement therapy during the 6 months preceding randomization (Visit 2) who are clinically euthyroid in the opinion of the investigator may enroll in the trial.
  • Consume an excess of alcohol or abuse drugs
  • Represent an unacceptable medical or psychiatric risk for treatment with an investigational drug

About this study

Official title: Effects of Arzoxifene on Bone Mineral Density in Korean Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis

The study is for Korean women who are postmenopausal and also suffer from osteoporosis.

The study will test if women who are given 20 mg of arzoxifene once a day for six months have a less severe level of osteoporosis than those women who do not take arzoxifene.

All patients will receive 500 mg of elemental calcium and 400 to 600 IU Vitamin D daily starting 4 weeks prior to study drug administration continuing through the 6 months of therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing arzoxifene in people with Osteoporosis, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 2 sites in South Korea.

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 18 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 30 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in South Korea. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD), by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) analyses (time frame: 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 30 Apr 2015.
