What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested whether a special CT scan (DECT) can better predict fracture risk in women with osteoporosis than the usual bone density test (DEXA). Seven women aged 60 or older participated. The goal was to develop a computer tool that analyzes bone structure from the scan to estimate fracture risk more accurately.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

7 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Jun 2016

Finished

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

60 years and older

Sex

Female participants only

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 60 or greater Caucasian female with confirmed osteoporosis via prior DEXA. * Patients with known vertebral fractures (Genant Grade 2 or higher) and with no fractures (Genant Score \<2) from prior DEXA/VFA analysis will be recruited. * Patients with fractures must have at least one lumbar vertebral body with no fracture(s) (as seen on prior DEXA scan) for analysis. Exclusion Criteria: * Incidental finding to include pathology unrelated to osteoporosis that would directly affect bone architecture in the L spine (e.g. lytic bone lesions) * Study DEXA scan reveals all lumbar vertebra have fractures (Genant \>= 2) * Orthopedic hardware in the lumbar spine region * Unable to have a CT scan (e.g. too heavy for CT scan table, 660 lb. limit)
