Phase 2 Study of AMG 785 in Postmenopausal Women With Low Bone Mineral Density
This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants.

First Received on May 7, 2009.   Last Updated on January 20, 2011   History of Changes
Sponsor: Amgen
Information provided by: Amgen
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00896532
  Purpose

This phase 2 clinical trial will study the safety and efficacy of AMG 785, an investigational bone building agent, in the treatment of postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density. Different doses and dosing frequencies of AMG 785 will be compared to placebo in a double-blind fashion. In addition, AMG 785 will be compared to open label alendronate and open label teriparatide.

The clinical hypothesis is that AMG 785 compared with placebo will cause a greater percent change from baseline in lumbar spine bone mineral density.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Percent change from baseline at month 12 in bone mineral density at the lumbar spine for the individual AMG 785 groups and pooled placebo arms. [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Percent change from baseline at month 12 in bone mineral density at the total hip, femoral neck and distal radius for the individual AMG 785 groups and pooled placebo arms. [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Percent change from baseline at month 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 in bone turnover markers for the individual AMG 785 groups and pooled placebo arms. [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Nature, frequency, severity of adverse events & their relationship to treatment; Changes from baseline in vital signs, laboratory assessments, ECG parameters; Bone histologic & histomorphometric pameters; Formation of anti-AMG 785 antibodies [ Time Frame: 28 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Percent change from baseline at month 24 in bone mineral density for the individual AMG 785 groups and pooled placebo arms. [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Percent change from baseline in Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT) BMD & variables for AMG 785 and teriparatide groups during the first year [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Percent change from baseline at month 6 in bone mineral density at the lumbar spine, total hip and femoral neck for the individual AMG 785 groups and pooled placebo arms. [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
