NCT ID NCT07616401
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find small molecules called microRNAs in the blood that can predict how well two osteoporosis drugs (romosozumab and abaloparatide) work in postmenopausal women. Researchers will measure bone density and blood markers over 12 months in 42 women. The goal is to help doctors choose the most effective treatment for each patient.
