Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: twofold: a) to evaluate if a single administration of denosumab decreases bone resorption (CTX-1) within one month in immobilized patients b) to evaluate if one year of denosumab therapy has a positive effect on the immobilization-associated bone loss. (hip region) Additionally, potential changes of BTMs will be evaluated. Pilot study (n=14): evaluate if a single administration of denosumab decreases bone resorption (CTX-1) within one month in immobilized patients;Secondary Objective: a) Serum levels of osteocalcin (Oc), bone-spcific alkaline Phosphatase (BAP), procollagen ta) pe 1 amino-terminal propeptide (P1NP), Tartate resistante acid phosphatase (TRAP), dickkopf 1 (DKK1), sclerostin (SOST), periostin (PSTN), 24-h urine: Ca excretion one month and twelve months after 1st denosumab application b) BMD: T-score lumbar spine twelve months after 1st denosumab application c) Reasons for drop outs Pilot study (n=14): cortical thickness and density index of the proximal tibia (quantitative ultrasound) - characterization of subjects;Primary end point(s): a) Serum levels of carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks (CTX-1) one month after first denosumab application b) BMD of the hip region one year after the first denosumab application Pilot study (n=14): Serum levels of carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks (CTX-1) one month after denosumab application;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: a) CTX-1: before first denosumab application, one month after first denosumab application b) BMD: one month and 12 months after first denosumab application Pilot study (n=14): cortical thickness and density index of the proximal tibia (quantitative ultrasound): within one week after baseline

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Biochemical parameters: before first denosumab application, one month, 6 and 12 months after first denosumab application BMD: one month and 12 months after first denosumab application Reasons for drop outs: on occasion ;Secondary end point(s): a) Serum levels of osteocalcin (Oc), bone-spcific alkaline Phosphatase (BAP), procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide (P1NP), Tartate resistante acid phosphatase (TRAP), dickkopf 1 (DKK1), sclerostin (SOST), periostin (PSTN), 24-h urine: Ca excretion one month and twelve months after 1st denosumab application b) BMD: T-score lumbar spine twelve months after 1st denosumab application c) Reasons for drop outs
