A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Alendronate, Calcium, and 1 other intervention for Spinal Cord Injury and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 17 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if a year of alendronate treatment will maintain or increase bone mass density (BMD) compared to baseline BMD values in people with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). This study will also investigate 1) if alendronate therapy will increase bone strength in people with chronic SCI, 2) the number of participants with adverse events from alendronate, and 3) the effects of alendronate on serum markers of bone metabolism.
