Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if zolendric acid can prevent the anticipated deterioration of bone mass after antiviral treatment initiation for people that were recently diagnosed with HIV.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Is bone mass deterioration is significant even with the new medication currently used to treat HIV?
2. Can one dose of Zolendric acid protect from deterioration of bone mass.

Researchers will compare one dose of zolendric acid to follow-up only

Participant will:

1. Provide blood samples for bone markers before antiviral treatment initiation and at 6M,12M,24M and 48M after treatment initiation
2. Perform DXA scan soon after antiviral treatment initiation and after 12M ,24 M and 48 months
3. Half of the patients with moderate reduction in bone mass will be treated with one dose of zolendric acid in the clinical trial, the other participants will be followed without intervention.
4. Patients with substantial osteoporosis will be treated according to standard of care by their HMO, but will continue followup in the study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Zoledronic acid

Patients with T score from -1 to -2.4 will be treated with 1 dose of 5 mg of Zoledronic acid within a month of ART intiation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Zoledronic Acid 5 mg/Bag 100 ml Inj

Intervention Type DRUG

Zolendric acid will be provided to HIV naïve patients with documented osteopnia

Follow up-comparator

Patients with T score from -1 to -2.4 that will be followed without intervention

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

mildly osteopenic patients

patients with T score more than -1 will be followed only after antiviral treatment initiation- P1NP and CTX levels and DXA up to 4 years

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Osteoporotic patients

patients with T score less than -2.5 will be treated according to standard of care with oral biphosphonates, and will be followed after antiviral treatment intiation- P1NP + CTX and DXA up to 4 years

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
