Brief summary
This is a randomized study to determine the effects of monthly romosozumab for one year or one-time zoledronic acid on bone mineral density (BMD) and biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption, in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and low BMD.
Detailed description
This is a randomized open-label study to determine the effects of monthly romosozumab for 12 month or one-time zoledronic acid infusion on bone mineral density (BMD) and biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption, in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and low BMD. Patients: Thirty women between 20-70 years of age with spinal cord injury and low bone mass (BMD T-score lower than -2.0 in at least one location: Lumbar Spine, Femoral Neck or Total Hip sites) will receive study medication. Primary outcome: Total hip BMD change during a one-year treatment period. Secondary outcome: Change in Femoral neck BMD at 12 months, Bone turnover markers change over time (3, 9 and 12 month): C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX), N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (P1NP). Study population: Thirty women between 20-70 years of age with spinal cord injury that occurred more than 24 month ago and low bone mass (BMD T-score lower than -2.0 in at least one location: Lumbar Spine, Femoral Neck or Total Hip sites)
Interventions
