E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this trial is to compare the percentage change in DXA BMD of the lumbar spine between baseline and 12 months following treatment with ONO-5334 or placebo. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of this trial will be: • To compare the effect of ONO-5334 or once weekly Alendronate (Fosamax Once Weekly®) versus placebo on DXA BMD and BMC (Lumbar spine, Total hip, Femoral neck and Trochanter) and biochemical markers of bone turnover from baseline during the course of treatment. • To compare the proportions of responders to ONO-5334 or Alendronate therapy at the end of treatment compared with placebo. • To compare the safety and tolerability of ONO-5334 or Alendronate versus placebo. • To compare compliance with treatment with ONO-5334 or Alendronate versus placebo. • To compare the efficacy and safety of ONO-5334 versus Alendronate. • To investigate the efficacy and safety of three different doses of ONO-5334 (50mg BID, 100mg QD, 300mg QD).

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Post menopausal women aged between 55 and 75 years old inclusive (55 ≤ age ≤ 75). Post menopausal is defined as more than 5 years after menopause and with Oestradiol and FSH levels consistent with menopause (FSH > 30IU/L, Oestradiol <92pmol/L), 2. Osteoporosis defined as a value of DXA BMD 2.5 standard deviations or more below the young adult mean (T-score ≤ -2.5) at the lumbar spine (L1 to L4) or total hip in the absence of any fragility fractures, OR, Osteopenia defined as a value of DXA BMD more than 1 standard deviation below the young adult mean, but less than 2.5 standard deviations below this value (T-score <-1 and >-2.5) at the lumbar spine (L1 to L4) or total hip with the presence of one or more fragility fractures. 3. Able and willing to give written informed consent.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Patients with a value of DXA BMD more than 3.5 standard deviation below the young adult mean, (T-score < -3.5) at the lumbar spine (L1 to L4) or total hip. 2. Patients who have abnormalities of the lumbar spine or femoral neck or internal organs around them precluding the assessment of BMD. e.g., A) Patients who have severe scoliosis. B) Patients who have two or more vertebral levels in L1, L2, L3, L4 that are not evaluable by DXA due to fracture, metal implants or other orthopaedic procedures etc., C) Patients who have a previous fracture, severe deformity or metal pins, plates, prostheses, etc., affecting either femur. D) Patients who have severe osteoarthritis (oeteophytes, sclerosis, etc.) in L1, L2, L3, L4 or femoral neck E) Patients who have severe aortic calcification interfering with spinal BMD measurement. 3. Patients who have experienced clinical fractures one year prior to the Randomisation visit (Visit 1). 4. Patients who have secondary causes of osteoporosis. e.g., A) Endocrine disorders: thyrotoxicosis, primary hyperparathyroidism, Cushing’s syndrome B) Rheumatologic conditions: rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis C) Gastro-intestinal disorders: malabsorption partial gastrectomy D) Malignancy: multiple myeloma, metatastic carcinoma E) Drug treatment: systemic oral glucocorticoids, methotrexate, heparin, anti-convulsants F) Genetic disorders: osteogenesis imperfecta G) Nutritional deficiencies: osteomalacia or anorexia H) Immobility I) Other conditions: Diabetes (patients with IDDM, insulin treated or HbA1c ≥8.0%), hepatic impairment (defined by the exclusion criteria 8), alcoholism (≥20 unit per week) 5. Patients who have other disorders of bone and mineral metabolism. e.g., A) Vitamin D deficiency (defined as serum 25 hydroxy vitamin D value < 10 ng/mL) B) Hypocalcemia (defined as serum Calcium < 8.5 mg/dL) C) Paget’s disease of bone D) Controlled or uncontrolled hypo- or hyperthyroidism, hypo or hyperparathyroidism, hypo- or hypercalcemia E) Osteomalacia, or osteogenesis imperfecta 6. Patients for whom once weekly Alendronate treatment is contraindicated. 7. Patients with low bone turnover defined as urinary CTX-I below 200μg /mmolCr at the Screening visit. 8. Patients who have history or presence of other significant disease, which in the opinion of the Investigator, might compromise the patient’s safety or the evaluation of the study results. 9. A history of drug or alcohol abuse (alcoholic patients who are recovered for at least 2 years will be allowed to enrol in this study). 10. Patients who have history of malignancy within the past 5 years of the Screening visit. 11. Patients with impaired hepatic function defined as raised liver function tests (aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase) greater than 2.5 times upper limit of laboratory normal. 12. Patients with impaired renal function defined as calculated creatinine clearance < 35mL/min based upon the value derived from the Cockcroft and Gault equation. 13. Any previous use of PTH and its derivatives, Strontium or Fluoride including ones in development before Screening visit. 14. Use of bisphosphonates in the three years preceding the Screening visit. 15. Use of HRT, SERMs, Calcitonin, Anabolic steroids, Thiazides, Vitamin K or any medication that may in the opinion of the Investigator have an effect on bone metabolism in the preceding one year of the Screening visit. 16. Use of Antacids, Systemic oral glucocorticoids, High daily dose of inhaled glucocorticoids, Methotrexate, Systemic heparin or Anti-convulsant in the preceding one year of the Screening visit. 17. Poor medication compliance: defined as taking <80% of the elemental calcium and vitamin D dose scheduled between the Screening visit and the Randomisation visit (Visit 1). 18. Patients who have used any investigational drug and/or participated in any clinical trial within 3 months of the Screening visit. 19. Patients who have previously received ONO-5334. 20. In the opinion of the Investigator, the patient may not be able to cooperate fully with the study staff, may have difficulty following some requirements, or is otherwise not qualified for the study. |
