Trial Outcomes & Findings for Risedronate and Parathyroid Hormone to Reverse Osteoporosis Caused by Chronic Steroid Use (NCT NCT00221299)

NCT ID: NCT00221299

Last Updated: 2015-06-25

Results Overview

In this randomized clinical trial to determine if treatment with rhPTH (1-34) with and without risedronate will increase bone mass of the lumbar spine more than risedronate alone. This was a small pilot study and study subjects were recruited from two study sites. Our primary endpoint was change in lumbar spine BMD.

Measure
Group1a-rhPTH&RIS-Placebo(Y1)&RIS(Y2)
First phase (year 1) - parathyroid hormone (rhPTH 1-34), 20 ug SC injections daily and risedronate placebo tablets for one year Second phase (year 2) - re-randomized to risedronate (35mg/wk) tablets for second year. Risedronate: One 35mg tab of risedronate/placebo taken once a week for year 1. One 35mg tab of risedronate taken once a week for year 2. Parathyroid Hormone: This medication comes in a pre packaged 28 day supply pen. Medication is administered once a day by a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) into the thigh or abdomen. For this study, this medication will be taken for one year.
Group1b-rhPTH&RisendronatePlacebo
First phase (year 1) - parathyroid hormone (rhPTH 1-34), 20 ug SC injections daily and risedronate placebo tablets for one year Second phase (year 2) - continue on risedronate placebo tablets for second year. Risedronate: One 35mg tab of risedronate/placebo taken once a week for two years. Parathyroid Hormone: This medication comes in a pre packaged 28 day supply pen. Medication is administered once a day by a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) into the thigh or abdomen. For this study, this medication will be taken for one year.
Group2-rhPTH&Risedronate

Risedronate: One 35mg tab of risedronate/placebo taken once a week for two years. Parathyroid Hormone: This medication comes in a pre packaged 28 day supply pen. Medication is administered once a day by a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) into the thigh or abdomen. For this study, this medication will be taken for one year.
Group3-rhPTH-Placebo&Risedronate
First phase (year 1) - parathyroid hormone (rhPTH 1-34), placebo SC injections of normal saline daily and risedronate tablets (35mg/wk) tablets for one year Second phase (year 2) - continue on risedronate tablets (35mg/wk) for second year. Risedronate: One 35mg tab of risedronate/placebo taken once a week for two years. Parathyroid Hormone: This medication comes in a pre packaged 28 day supply pen.
