Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 55 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Ambulatory, post menopausal women aged 55 years or older at screening. Have received their first prescription of daily or weekly alendronate therapy, for the treatment for post menopausal osteoporosis at least 1 month prior to screening. Use of raloxifene, calcitonin or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) prior to alendronate treatment will be allowed. Prior and/or current use of vitamin D and calcium will be allowed.
  • Has stopped oral alendronate therapy (is denoted as non-persistent) before the screening visit or, is still taking oral alendronate therapy but does not take on a regular basis (this will be assessed by the completion of a compliance questionnaire at screening).
  • Provide signed informed consent before any study-specific procedures are conducted.

Who cannot join

  • Any prior or current use of medications prescribed for osteoporosis treatment other than oral daily alendronate, calcium and vitamin D. Prior use of raloxifen, calcitonin or HRT before alendronate therapy was started will be allowed.
  • Hypersensitivity to Actonel® or any ingredient of Actonel® tablets.
  • Contraindicated or poorly tolerant of alendronate therapy.
  • Active gastric or duodenal ulcer.
  • Known sensitivity to mammalian cell derived products.
  • Known intolerance to calcium supplements.

  • Malignancy within the last 5 years (except for cervical or basal cell carcinoma).
  • Vitamin D deficiency (serum 25-OH vitamin D less than 20ng/mL (equivalent to 49.9 nanomoles per Liter) at screening.
  • Current hypo- or hypercalcemia based on the central laboratory reference ranges.
  • Uncontrolled hyper- or hypothyroidism (stable on antithyroid therapy or post-ablation is allowed, if the laboratory results from screening show that thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is within the normal range).
  • Any metabolic bone disease, e.g., osteomalacia or osteogenesis imperfecta, Paget's disease of bone that may interfere with the interpretation of the findings.
  • Height, weight or girth which may preclude accurate dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA measurements).
  • Fewer than 2 lumbar vertebrae (L1-L4) able to be evaluated by DXA.
  • Known to have tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus.
  • Previous participation in clinical trials with denosumab within the last 12 months (regardless of treatment).
  • Any laboratory abnormality, physical or psychiatric disorder (including substance abuse in last 12 months) which, in the opinion of the investigator, will prevent the subject from giving written informed consent or completing the study or interfere with the interpretation of the study results.
  • Currently enrolled in or within 30 days of ending another investigational device or drug trial(s).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Actonel® and Denosumab in people with Osteoporosis, run by Amgen.

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 17 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 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 12 Dec 2012). 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?

Total Hip BMD Percent Change From Baseline at Month 12 (time frame: Baseline to month 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00919711, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Jul 2020.
