Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pilot Study for Zoledronic Acid to Prevent Bone Loss After Bariatric Surgery (NCT NCT03424239)

NCT ID: NCT03424239

Last Updated: 2021-04-29

Results Overview

The primary aim of this study is to determine the postoperative changes in serum markers of bone turnover after a preoperative infusion of zoledronic acid. Serum C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) is marker of bone resorption.
