Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study To Investigate Patient Preference On Dosing In Ibandronate And Risedronate In Korean Women With Postmenopausal Osteoporosis (NCT NCT00405392)

NCT ID: NCT00405392

Last Updated: 2018-06-06

Results Overview

Preference of monthly ibandronate and weekly risedronate was compared. Modified-intention-to-treat (mITT) population was used for analysis. Any participant randomly assigned, received the study drug, and participants were asked to fill the preference questionnaire on completion of study. Preference was calculated as percentage. Data for percentage of participants with preference to once-monthly dosing of ibandronate to the once-weekly dosing of risedronate was presented.

Participant Flow

A total of 365 korean female participants with postmenopausal osteoporosis were enrolled in this study, conducted for 6 months at 15 centers in South Korea.

A total of 365 participants were randomized in the study. Out of the randomized participants 13 were dropped out before administration of drug, remaining 352 participants were included in safety population, 314 participants were included in modified intent to treat population and 308 participants were included in the per-protocol population.

Measure
Sequence A: Ibandronate 150 mg Then Risedronate 35 mg
Participants received treatment of ibandronate 150 milligram (mg) tablet orally once monthly for 3 months in period 1 and then administered risedronate 35 mg tablet orally once weekly for 12 weeks in period 2 in sequence A. Participants were recommended to take the tablet on the same day every month in case of the once-monthly drug (e.g. on the 15th each month) and on the same day every week in case of the once-weekly drug (e.g. every Sunday). The two drugs were administered on an empty stomach in the morning, followed by an overnight fast (at least 6-hour fast).
Sequence B: Risedronate 35 mg Then Ibandronate 150 mg
Participants received treatments of risedronate 35 mg tablet orally once weekly for 12 weeks in period 1 and then administered ibandronate 150 mg tablet orally once monthly for 3 months in period 2 in sequence B. Participants were recommended to take the tablet on the same day every month in case of the once-monthly drug (e.g. on the 15th each month) and on the same day every week in case of the once-weekly drug (e.g. every Sunday). The two drugs were administered on an empty stomach in the morning, followed by an overnight fast (at least 6-hour fast).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Visit 4 (Week 24)

Population: mITT population was comprised of any participant, who was randomly assigned, received the study drug once more at each phase, filled out the preference questionnaire at the completion of the study. Percentages do not sum to 100 because some participants did not express a preference.

Preference of monthly ibandronate and weekly risedronate was compared. Modified-intention-to-treat (mITT) population was used for analysis. Any participant randomly assigned, received the study drug, and participants were asked to fill the preference questionnaire on completion of study. Preference was calculated as percentage. Data for percentage of participants with preference to once-monthly dosing of ibandronate to the once-weekly dosing of risedronate was presented.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Visit 4 (Week 24)

Population: mITT Population. Percentages do not sum to 100 because some participants did not express a preference.

Participant's preference for convenient treatment was compared between monthly ibandronate and weekly risedronate. Analysis population was mITT. Preference for convenient treatment was calculated as percentage. Percentage of participants who think once-monthly ibandronate dosing is more convenient over once-weekly risedronate dosing were presented. Those participants who answered the two treatments equally convenient were excluded while reporting.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Week 0) and Visit 3 (Week 12)

Population: Per protocol population comprised of any participant, who didn't violate the study protocol, filled the preference questionnaire at the completion of the study, finished assessment of bone turnover marker, and completed journal of GI symptoms. Only the participants available at the time of assessment were analyzed.

The difference of change in serum CTX from basal value between the two sequences was tested using ANCOVA at 95% confidence interval at 3 months (Visit 3) after the administration. Analysis was done with PP population. Baseline was value at Week 0, Change from baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from value at specified time point.
