Trial Outcomes & Findings for Zoledronic Acid for Osteoporotic Fracture Prevention (ZEST II) (NCT NCT02589600)

NCT ID: NCT02589600

Last Updated: 2023-09-26

Results Overview

Number of fractures divided by number of person-years. Effectiveness of fracture reduction will be demonstrated by total non-traumatic incidental fractures (vertebral and nonvertebral \[identified by x-ray, CT, MRI, VFA imaging) except those viewed as severe trauma (fall from a height higher than a stool or chair or severe trauma other than a fall), cancer-related or fractures of the toes, finger or facial bones.
