Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the effect of alendronate versus no treatment on bone mineral density (BMD) in the following 12 months after the denosumab and aromatase inhibitors (AI) discontinuation in low fracture risk (defined as a10-years predicted fracture risk < 20% for major osteoporotic fractures and < 3% for femur fractures according the FRAX algorithm) osteopenic women with post-menopausal non-metastatic hormonal receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer.;Secondary Objective: In low fracture risk osteopenic women with post-menopausal non-metastatic hormonal receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer, to evaluate the effect of alendronate versus no treatment: 1. on the turnover biomarkers in the following 3, 12 and 24 months after the denosumab and aromatase inhibitors (AI) discontinuation 2. on bone mineral density (BMD) at the end of 24 months of follow up after the denosumab and aromatase inhibitors (AI) discontinuation 3. on vertebral and non-vertebral fractures in the following two years after the denosumab and AI discontinuation 4. on morphometric vertebral fractures in the following 12 and 24 months after the denosumab and AI discontinuation in low fracture risk osteopenic women with post-menopausal breast cancer. 5. To monitor the adverse events/clinical in treated and untreated patients.;Primary end point(s): Percent changes in BMD measured at lumbar and femoral sites at 12 months with respect to basal conditions;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Basal assessment (time 0) and 12 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1. changes in serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase activity, CTX, P1NP and FGF23 at 3, 12 and 24 months with respect to basal levels; 2. changes in BMD measured at lumbar and femoral sites at 24 months with respect to basal conditions; 3. occurrence of new fragility fractures at any sites anamnestically recorded at 3, 12 and 24 months visits; 4. detection of new morphometric vertebral fractures by thoracic and lumbar Rx at 12 and 24 months of follow up; 5. incidence of the adverse events/clinical and morphometric fractures in treated and untreated patients;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. Basal assessment (time 0), 3, 12 and 24 months 2. Basal assessment (time 0) and 24 months 3. 3, 12 and 24 months 4. 12 and 24 months 5 . Up to 24 months | — |
