About this study

This study is being conducted to examine the performance of three common DXA machines (1) Lunar iDXA, (2) Lunar Prodigy and (3) Hologic Discovery A in measuring bone density and body fat.

Read the detailed description

For this study, two specific groups of volunteers will be recruited. In one group, the scan will measure bone density and in the other group the scan will measure fat. The groups will be broken into weight groups to determine which of the scanners the subject will be scanned on. Subjects will have the option to participate in either one or both groups.

What participants receive

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

  • Lunar Prodigy (GEHC)Device

    Lunar Prodigy (GEHC) used to obtain Skeletal, and/or Body Composition measurements

  • Lunar iDXA (GEHC)Device

    Lunar iDXA (GEHC) used to obtain Skeletal, and/or Body Composition measurements

  • Discovery A (HologicDevice

Study groups in NCT01530477
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SkeletalExperimentalRecruitment for each cohort will include approximately equal male/female split (no gender bias). Depending on the weight category, for each cohort, a minimum of 30 adult subjects will be measured on two of three systems [Lunar Prodigy (GEHC), Lunar iDXA (GEHC) and Discovery A (Hologic)], and 60 will be measured on all three systems [Lunar Prodigy (GEHC), Lunar iDXA (GEHC) and Discovery A (Hologic)],(total of evaluable 90 subjects). Subjects can enroll in both Skeletal and Body Composition cohorts. Analysis will be performed within each cohort.

Skeletal & Body CompositionExperimental"Skeletal and Body Composition" was not a cohort that was actively recruited to, it is a cohort for reporting purposes. Subjects will be measured on two of three systems [Lunar Prodigy (GEHC), Lunar iDXA (GEHC) and Discovery A (Hologic)]Subjects were able to consent and enroll to both Skeletal and Body Composition cohorts and these subjects will be counted for under this joint cohort.

What is being measured

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

  1. Short Term Precision Comparison Across Three DXA Devices

    BMD precision will be reported across three DXA devices in major skeletal and body composition sites. The short-term precision was calculated as RMS-SD (root mean square standard deviation) over the mean for each cohort. The skeletal cohort will not have short-term precision value for body composition indexes due to the different region of measurement. The same will apply to the body composition cohort. As the result, the "Skeletal \& Body Composition" cohort identified in participant flow and overall study summary will not have an analysis provided.

    Measured: Less than 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lunar Prodigy (GEHC), Lunar iDXA (GEHC) and Discovery A (Hologic in people with Osteopenia, run by GE Healthcare at 1 site 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 7 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2016. 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 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Sep 2014). 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?

Short Term Precision Comparison Across Three DXA Devices (time frame: Less than 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 16 Sep 2016.
