A Study of Ibandronate (Boniva) to Evaluate Bone Turnover Markers in Women With Treatment-Naive Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

February 10, 2016 updated by: Hoffmann-La Roche

A Prospective Open-Label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Change in Bone Turnover Markers After Once Monthly Oral Ibandronate Therapy in Treatment Naive Postmenopausal Osteoporosis Patients

This study will evaluate whether an early positive response to once-monthly oral ibandronate in treatment-naive participants with postmenopausal osteoporosis is predictive of efficacy later in treatment. The anticipated time on study treatment is 6 months, and the target sample size is 360 individuals.

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percent Change From Baseline to Month 6 in Serum C-terminal Telopeptide of Type 1 Collagen (CTX)
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
Serum CTX is a measure of bone resorption and is measured as nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Percent change from Baseline to Month 6 was calculated using Month 6 value minus baseline value divided by baseline value, and then multiplied by 100. Data for this outcome measure was reported for all participants combined (Consult group plus Non-consult group).
Baseline, Month 6

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percent Change From Baseline to Month 6 in Urine N-terminal Telopeptide of Type 1 Collagen (NTX)
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
Urine NTX is a measure of bone resorption and is measured as millimoles bone collagen equivalents per millimoles creatinine. Percent change from baseline to Month 6 was calculated using Month 6 value minus baseline value divided by baseline value, and then multiplied by 100. Data for this outcome measure was reported for all participants combined (Consult group plus Non-consult group).
Baseline, Month 6
Percent Change From Baseline to Month 6 in Serum Procollagen Type 1 N-terminal Propeptide (P1NP)
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
Serum P1NP is a measure of bone resorption and is measured as ng/mL. Percent change from baseline to Month 6 was calculated using Month 6 value minus Baseline value divided by baseline value, and then multiplied by 100. Data for this outcome measure was reported for all participants combined (Consult group plus Non-consult group).
Baseline, Month 6
Percent Change From Baseline to Month 6 in Serum Osteocalcin
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
Serum osteocalcin is a measure of bone resorption and is measured as ng/mL. Percent change from baseline to Month 6 was calculated using Month 6 value minus baseline value divided by baseline value, and then multiplied by 100. Data for this outcome measure was reported for all participants combined (Consult group plus Non-consult group).
Baseline, Month 6
Percent Change From Baseline to Month 6 in Serum Bone-Specific Alkaline Phosphatase (BSAP)
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
Serum BSAP is a measure of bone resorption and is measured as ng/mL. Percent change from baseline to Month 6 was calculated using Month 6 value minus baseline value divided by baseline value, and then multiplied by 100. Data for this outcome measure was reported for all participants combined (Consult group plus Non-consult group).
Baseline, Month 6
Percentage of Participants Who Were "Very Confident" or "Confident" to Items on the Boniva Confidence Scale (BCS) at Month 6
Time Frame: Month 6
The BCS is designed to measure the participant's confidence level that Boniva (ibandronate) therapy is effective in treating osteoporosis and reducing the risk of fracture. Response options ranged on a 5-point scale from 'Not At All Confident' to 'Very Confident.' A Boniva confidence responder was defined as a participant who reported a response of 'confident' or 'very confident' on the 2 items in BCS. (1) ibandronate was effective in treating osteoporosis and (2) ibandronate reduces the risk of breaking a bone.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
