简要总结

Background:

  • Up to 30% of children and adolescents with Crohn's disease have decreased bone strength, or decrease bone density, called osteopenia.
  • Bisphosphonates are a group of drugs that have been well studied and found to be effective in the treatment of osteopenia in menopausal women.
  • Zoledronate is a very potent third generation bisphosphonate, that is safe and easy to administer, and has been found effective in the treatment of menopausal women with osteopenia.

Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that zoledronate can improve bone density in children and adolescents with Crohn's disease with osteopenia.

详细描述

  • This study is recruiting 40 children and adolescents, aged 6 to 18, who have a proven abnormal bone density as measured on a special type of x-ray called a DEXA-scan.
  • Participants are allocated at random to one of two groups: either treatment with zoledronate, or a placebo.
  • Neither the participants or the physicians are aware of which group each participant is in.
  • Participants are followed every three months for one year, and assessed with blood tests, urine tests, physical examination, diet questionnaire and exercise questionnaire.
  • Participants have a repeat DEXA scan at 6 and 12 months after beginning the study.
  • Once all participants are enrolled and followed for one whole year, we will compare the bone density of the group treated with zoledronate with the group treated with placebo.

入选标准

  • patients aged 6 to 18,
  • diagnosed with Crohn's disease with osteopenia,
  • a minimum of 6 months of adequate calcium and vitamin D intake. (Osteopenia was defined for the purposes of this study as: Z-score lumber spine BMD by DEXA of -2.0 or less, or -1.5 and a risk factor (either steroid use for 6 months or more or decrease of 0.5 z-score in the preceding 12 months).)

排除标准

  • renal dysfunction,
  • insufficient calcium or vitamin D intake,
  • current medication or condition affecting bone metabolism,
  • documented fracture, previously diagnosed bone disease,
  • documented intolerance/hypersensitivity to bisphosphonates,
  • previous treatment with bisphosphonates within the last 6 months.
