NCT ID NCT06973109

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study aimed to see if romosozumab (Evenity) could improve bone density and muscle mass in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis undergoing lumbar spine surgery. Participants would have received monthly injections of romosozumab or weekly alendronate pills for 12 months. However, the trial was withdrawn before any volunteers enrolled, so no data were collected.
