Conditions

Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

Brief summary

Randomized, multicenter, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, parallel-design study in approximately 201 postmenopausal women. A subset of subjects (approximately 102) will also participate in a pharmacokinetic (PK) component of the study. Each subject will be randomized to 1 of 3 treatment regimens for 3 months.

Interventions

DRUG150 mg

150 mg immediate release (IRBB) risedronate tablet administered orally at least 30 minutes before breakfast.

DRUG75 mg

75 mg delayed release (DRFB) risedronate tablet administered orally immediately after ingesting breakfast

DRUG100 mg

100 mg delayed release (DRFB) risedronate tablet administered orally immediately after ingesting breakfast

Comparison: A two group t-test with a 0.100 one-sided significance level would have 96% power to detect the difference between a risedronate 150 mg IRBB mean, µ1, of -46.000 and a risedronate 75 mg DRFB mean, µ2, of -29.900 (a difference in means of -16.100), assuming that the common SD was 28.000, with sample sizes of 60 per group, respectively. Estimates were based on Study 2005107 (35 mg DR once a week Phase 2 study). The sample size calculation was not adjusted for multiplicity.p-value: 0.394690% CI: [-10.568, 3.372]ANOVA
