Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Postmenopausal women with severe osteoporosis
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective is to demonstrate that combination therapy with once yearly i.v. zoledronic acid and daily subcutaneous injections of teriparatide is non-inferior to teriparatide treatment alone with respect to percentage increase in lumbar spine BMD at 52 weeks. If the non-inferiority is established, the superiority of the combination therapy is to be evaluated.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary objectives are:

    • To evaluate the effect of combination therapy with zoledronic acid and teriparatide
    compared to teriparatide alone on percent change in total hip BMD at 52 weeks.
    • To evaluate the effect of combination therapy with zoledronic acid and teriparatide
    compared to teriparatide alone on percent change of lumbar spine and total hip
    BMD at 13 and 26 weeks.
    • To evaluate the effect of combination therapy with zoledronic acid and teriparatide
    compared to zoledronic acid alone on percent change in lumbar spine and total hip
    BMD at 13, 26 and 52 weeks.
    • To evaluate the effect of combination therapy with zoledronic acid and teriparatide
    compared to teriparatide alone and zoledronic acid alone on serum biochemical
    markers (P1NP and β-CTx) at 4, 8, 26, 39 and 52 weeks.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria

    (b) cessation of menses for 12 months in women age 50 or over
    (c) documented bilateral oophorectomy at least 1 year prior
    (d) T score of -2.5 or less for BMD at femoral neck, total hip or lumbar spine.

    • Any prior use of strontium.
    • Calculated creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min.
    • Urine dipstick greater than/similar to 2+ protein at Visit 2 without evidence of
    contamination or bacteriuria.
    • Prior treatment with oral or i.v. bisphosphonates longer than 3 months consecutively. If bisphosphonate exposure is less than or equal than 3 months, a washout period of 1 year prior to randomiztion is required.
    • Serum calcium greater than or similar to 2.75 mmol/L or ≤ 2.0 mmol/L.
    • 25(OH) vitamin D levels less than 20 ng/ml prior to randomization.
    • AST or ALT greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal.
    • Serum alkaline phosphatase (SAP) greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal.
    • Non-osteoporotic forms of metabolic bone disease, such as and not limited to,
    Paget’s disease of bone, osteomalacia, osteogenesis imperfecta or multiple
    myeloma.
    • Less than 3 evaluable lumbar (L1-L4) vertebrae.
    • Treatment with SERMs (i.e. raloxifene), calcitonin or HRT within 3 months of
    randomization.
    • Allergy or previous exposure to teriparatide.
    • Previous exposure to exogenous PTH or PTH analogs.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    To demonstrate that combination therapy with once yearly i.v. zoledronic acid (5 mg) and daily subcutaneous injections of teriparatide (20 micro gram) is non-inferior to teriparatide treatment alone with respect to percentage increase in lumbar spine BMD at 52 weeks. If the non-inferiority is established, the superiority of the combination therapy (ZOL+PTH) over teriparatide treatment alone is to be evaluated.
