Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Bonviva (Ibandronate) Once Monthly in Post-Menopausal Women With Osteopenia (NCT NCT00129623)
NCT ID: NCT00129623
Last Updated: 2016-01-11
Results Overview
BMD was measured by a single dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan of the lumbar spine at the time of screening and at Month 12. A BMD measurement was considered unsuitable in case of detection of a fracture, an osteoarthritic process, or a scanning artifact that could not be removed to such a degree that accurate measurement of BMD would be considered jeopardized by the central reading center. The change in BMD was defined as the relative difference between the last individual measurement available at 12 months and Baseline, using the following formula: Relative change = 100 x (BMD at 1 year - BMD at baseline) / (BMD at baseline)

Participant Flow
This study was conducted at 10 centers in the United States.
Of the 451 participants who were screened, 160 participants were randomly assigned to the two treatment arms (Placebo and Ibandronate). The major reason for screening failure was participants did not meet the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) entry criteria.

Placebo
Participants with postmenopausal osteopenia were administered matching placebo tablet orally once monthly. All participants received OSCAL tablet (containing 500 mg calcium and 400 international units \[IU\] vitamin D) once a day as dietary supplements for the duration of the study. Participants received a total of 12 months of treatment and were followed for an additional period of 15 days.

Ibandronate (IBN) 150 mg Monthly
Participants with postmenopausal osteopenia were administered 150 mg Ibandronate (IBN) tablet orally once monthly. All participants received OSCAL tablet (containing 500 mg/d calcium and 400 international units \[IU\]/d vitamin D) once a day as dietary supplements, for the duration of the study. Participants received a total of 12 months of treatment and were followed for an additional period of 15 days.

Percent responders were defined as follows: Participants with a) lumbar spine (LS) BMD, equal to or above Baseline at Month 12 b) proximal femur BMD, equal to or above Baseline at Month 12 c) Both lumbar spine and proximal femur BMD, equal or above Baseline at Month 12. BMD of the lumbar spine was defined as the BMD of at least two vertebrae (L2-L4) that were not fractured and not affected by an osteoarthritic process, or a scanning artifact that could not be removed to such a degree that accurate measurement of BMD would be considered jeopardized by the central reading center. Proximal femur included total hip, trochanter and femoral neck sites.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who is administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A serious adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, are life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or results in disability/incapacity, and congenital anomaly/birth defect.
