Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Osteoporosis

Registration Number
NCT00439244
Lead Sponsor
Novartis
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of zoledronic acid administered at the same time with teriparatide compared to zoledronic acid alone and teriparatide alone on bone mineral density (BMD) gain in the lumbar spine and total hip

Placebo zoledronic acid plus teriparatidePlaceboPlacebo zoledronic acid 100 mL intravenous (i.v.) (once at randomization) plus teriparatide 20 μg (daily subcutaneous injections administered concurrently through 52 weeks). Teriparatide is supplied as sterile, colorless clear, isotonic solution in a glass cartridge which is pre-assembled into a disposable pen device for subcutaneous injection. The pen device delivers 20 μg of teriparatide concurrently as daily subcutaneous injections for 52 weeks.
Zoledronic acidZoledronic acidZoledronic acid 5.0 mg/100 mL was administered via a peripheral intravenous site at Visit 2 (once at randomization) as a slow 15-minute infusion.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent Change From Baseline in Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at Week 52Baseline through Week 52

BMD measurements of the lumbar spine (L1-L4) by Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were performed on all patients at screening, and Weeks 13, 26, and 52 (or early termination). Every attempt was made to obtain the BMD measurements at the scheduled visit. If this was not possible, a BMD measurement ± 7 days from the scheduled visit was obtained. For the Final DXA at Week 52, the window was 10 - 15 days prior to the final study visit. BMD scans were acquired locally and all results sent to a central reader for evaluation.

Percent Change From Baseline in Total Hip Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at Week 13, Week 26 and Week 52Baseline through Week 13, Week 26 and Week 52

BMD measurements of the total hip by Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were performed on all patients at screening, and Weeks 13, 26, and 52 (or early termination). Every attempt was made to obtain the BMD measurements at the scheduled visit. If this was not possible, a BMD measurement ± 7 days from the scheduled visit was obtained. For the final DXA at Week 52, the window was 10 - 15 days prior to the final study visit. BMD scans were acquired locally and all results sent to a central reader for evaluation.

Bone Resorption and Formation Biochemical Markers : N-terminal Propeptide of Type I Collagen (P1NP)At Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 26, Week 39 and Week 52

Specialized tests for markers of bone formation such as n-terminal propeptide of type I collagen (P1NP) were performed at Baseline, and Weeks 4, 8, 26, 39, and 52. The amount of serum P1NP was determined by the central laboratory.

Bone Resorption and Formation Biochemical Markers : Beta C-terminal Telopeptides of Type I Collagen (β-CTx)At Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 26, Week 39 and Week 52

Specialized tests for markers of bone formation such as β-CTx were performed at Baseline, and Weeks 4, 8, 26, 39, and 52. The amount of serum β-CTx was determined by the central laboratory.
