About this study

Official title: Comparison of Raloxifene and Strontium Ranelate on Compliance and Efficacy in Women With Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

The purpose of this study was to compare compliance and efficacy of raloxifene and strontium ranelate in a group of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVE: To compare the performance of raloxifene and strontium rannelate in the management of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

DESIGN: Prospective, open label study. SETTING: University hospital menopause unit. PATIENTS: 80 women with postmenopausal osteoporosis were assigned to either raloxifene (60 mg/d) or strontium ranelate (2g/d). Participants were followed for 1 year.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Compliance with each regime. Secondary objectives were parameters of efficacy, including changes in bone mineral density and bone biochemical markers.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical study of raloxifene and strontium ranelate in postmenopausal osteoporosis

    Primary Outcome measure: compliance. Assessment of compliance assessed two variables, the number of participants maintaining treatment after one year and, among those that completed the one year treatment, the number of them that completed at least 80% of the prescribed dose.

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Clinical study of raloxifene and strontium ranelate in postmenopausal osteoporosis

    Secondary outcome measure: efficacy. Efficacy has been assessed by changes in axial bone mineral density (spine and hip) and by changes in biochemical bone markers (C-telopeptides and P1NP in serum).

    Axial densitometry has been performed prior to treatment and after completion of the programmed one-year treatment.

    Bone markers have been assessed prior to treatment and at the 3rd, 6th and 12th month of treatment.

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Raloxifene and Strontium ranelate in people with Postmenopausal Osteoporosis and Compliance, run by University of Valencia at 1 site in Spain.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 3 Sep 2012. 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 Spain. 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?

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?

Clinical study of raloxifene and strontium ranelate in postmenopausal osteoporosis (time frame: One year). 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 3 Sep 2012.
