Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Ibandronate (Boniva) to Evaluate Bone Turnover Markers in Women With Treatment-Naive Postmenopausal Osteoporosis (NCT NCT02598934)

NCT ID: NCT02598934

Last Updated: 2016-03-09

Results Overview

Serum CTX is a measure of bone resorption and is measured as nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Percent change from Baseline to Month 6 was calculated using Month 6 value minus baseline value divided by baseline value, and then multiplied by 100. Data for this outcome measure was reported for all participants combined (Consult group plus Non-consult group).

Timeframe: Month 6

Population: ITT population

The BCS is designed to measure the participant's confidence level that Boniva (ibandronate) therapy is effective in treating osteoporosis and reducing the risk of fracture. Response options ranged on a 5-point scale from 'Not At All Confident' to 'Very Confident.' A Boniva confidence responder was defined as a participant who reported a response of 'confident' or 'very confident' on the 2 items in BCS. (1) ibandronate was effective in treating osteoporosis and (2) ibandronate reduces the risk of breaking a bone.
