A Study To Assess the Quality and Strength of Bone in Women Participants With Osteoporosis Taking Oral Ibandronate Versus Placebo
- Registration Number
- NCT00148915
- Lead Sponsor
- Hoffmann-La Roche
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to estimate the effect of oral ibandronate sodium (Boniva) taken once monthly versus placebo on bone quality and strength at the proximal femur at one year.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Mean percent change in integral (cortical and trabecular bone compartments combined) hip bone mineral density (BMD) as determined by Volumetric Quantitative Computed Tomography (vQCT) at one year Year 1
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Mean percent change in BMD of the proximal femur and lumbar spine according to vQCT at one year Year 1 Hip geometry assessed by cross-sectional dimensions of hip using DXA Year 1 Mean percent change of proximal femur and spine BMD according to Dual- Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scans Year 1 Hip geometry assessed by cross-sectional dimensions of hip using vQCT Year 1 Finite element composition of hip and spine to estimate hip and spine strength Year 1 Trabecular bone dimensions by bone biopsies using histomorphometry and micro computed tomography to assess bone quality Year 1 Change from baseline for serum-C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of Type I collagen (Serum-CTX) Months 3, 6, 9, and 12 Change from baseline for bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (Bone ALP) Months 3, 6, 9, and 12
