Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of alendronate sodium vitamin D3 tablets compared with placebo on the improvement of joint structure and joint pain in participants with knee osteoarthritis. The treatment period of this study is one year and followed-up period is 2 years. The results of knee joint MRI will be evaluated by using the WORMS score.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study This study is planned to commence after obtaining Ethics Committee approval. participants will be randomised to a one-year course of alendronate sodium vitamin D3 tablets or placebo. 1:1 double blinded randomisation will be undertaken. This study plans to enroll 60 participants and will be carried out in three domestic centers (Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Zhongshan Hospital and The Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University) with a follow-up period of 2 years.

As the main goal of this exploratory study is to evaluate the effect of alendronate sodium vitamin D3 tablets compared with placebo on the improvement of joint structure and joint pain in participants with knee osteoarthritis. The primary outcome measure is WORMS score of knee joint MRI at 6 months and 12 months.
