NCT ID NCT02531087
First seen Dec 16, 2025 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study explores whether measuring certain collagen peptides in urine can help doctors tell apart the many genetic types of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a rare condition that makes bones break easily. Researchers will compare urine samples from 25 people with different OI gene mutations. If successful, this could lead to a simpler, less invasive way to classify OI than current blood or skin biopsies.
