Impact of Oral Ibandronate 150 mg Monthly on Structural Properties of Bone in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis (SPIMOS-3D)

January 27, 2009 updated by: Charite University, Berlin, Germany

Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled and Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Impact of One Year Therapy With Monthly Oral Ibandronate 150 mg on Structural Properties of Bone in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis Without Vertebral Fractures

Efficacy:

To investigate changes of structural bone properties in vivo using 3DpQCT ("Xtreme" CT, Scanco) in monthly oral ibandronate therapy for women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Major structural bone parameters which determine bone strength and predict fracture risk earlier and more precisely are measurable in vivo by 3DpQCT.

Safety:

To assess the tolerability and safety of ibandronate therapy
