Could a bone drug save hearing for brittle bone patients?

NCT ID NCT04152551

Summary

This study is testing whether a common bone-strengthening drug (bisphosphonate) can slow down hearing loss in people with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), also known as brittle bone disease. It will follow 100 adults and children with OI for about 5 years to see if the drug helps preserve their hearing. The goal is to find a new way to manage this specific type of hearing loss that often starts early in life for people with OI.
