Run by Shinshu University · NCT03755193 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests different treatment options for Japanese patients with osteoporosis who have been on denosumab for two years to see which one works best and is safe to use for another two years.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are Japanese patients diagnosed with osteoporosis who have completed two years of denosumab therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are not diagnosed with osteoporosis, have allergies to the study drugs, are pregnant, or refuse participation may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the efficacy and safety of different anti-resorption drugs in Japanese patients with osteoporosis who have previously undergone two years of denosumab therapy. Participants will be divided into three groups, receiving either SERM and eldecalcitol, bisphosphonates and eldecalcitol, or solely eldecalcitol for an additional 24 months. The study aims to assess both the effectiveness of these treatments and any adverse events that may arise during the treatment period.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide new treatment options for osteoporosis patients who have completed denosumab therapy.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on osteoporosis treatments, this specific approach of evaluating post-denosumab therapy options is relatively novel.
