Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of Anorexia Nervosa on Peak Bone Mass (NCT NCT01301183)

NCT ID: NCT01301183

Last Updated: 2021-07-13

Results Overview

Change in lumbar spine BMD z-score over 12 months as assessed by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) The z-score indicates the number of standard deviations that BMD is away from the mean for age, sex and race. A z-score of 0 is equal to the mean with negative numbers indicating values lower than the mean and positive values higher values. A positive change in z-scores indicates a favorable outcome whereas a negative change in z-scores indicates an unfavorable outcome.

Measure
Rh IGF-1 + Transdermal Estradiol
RhIGF-1 with transdermal 17-beta estradiol RhIGF-1 with transdermal 17-beta estradiol: RhIGF-1 will be started at a dose of 30mcg/k/dose twice daily, and will be titrated up or down in 25% dose increments to maintain IGF-1 levels in the upper half of the normal range. Estradiol will be delivered transdermally using a 100 mcg patch (Vivelle Dot) changed twice weekly. Subjects will receive cyclic micronized progesterone (Prometrium) 100 mg daily for the first 10 days of each month. All subjects will receive supplemental calcium and vitamin D.
Placebo + Transdermal Estradiol
Placebo and transdermal 17-beta estradiol Placebo and transdermal 17-beta estradiol: Placebo injections will be administered twice daily. Estradiol will be delivered transdermally using a patch (100 mcg) changed twice weekly. Subjects will receive cyclic micronized progesterone (Prometrium) 100 mg daily for the first 10 days of each month. All subjects will receive supplemental calcium and vitamin D.
