IGIMRT Dosing Schedules for Cancer Spread to Bone/Spine
San Francisco, CaliforniaThe purpose of this study is to find out which way of giving high-dose radiation works best for treatment of cancer that has spread to bone, the spine, soft tissue, or lymph nodes. This study will look at the effects, good and/or bad, of giving 27 Gy in three fractions (3 days) or 24 Gy in one fraction (1 day) using image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IG-IMRT). IG-IMRT is radiation that is given directly to the cancer site and reduces the exposure to normal tissue. Currently there are no studies that compare the effects of giving radiation in either hypofractionated doses (higher total doses of radiation spread out over several treatment days) or a single-fraction dose (entire radiation dose given in one treatment session).
The patient may be asked to participate in an additional part of this study where we will get a a (DW/DCE) MRI before treatment start and within one hour after radiation treatment. If the patient is asked to take part in this portion of the study, all they will need to do is get up to 3 MRIs with standard contrast injection. The purpose of this is to see if as a result of the treatment there are changes in the blood flow going to the cancer which could suggest that the treatment may be successful.
In addition some patients can present new lesions and may be asked if they would like to have these new lesions treated on the protocol. If they are given this option, this will not extend their follow up period. The follow up of the new lesions will match with the prior follow up dates.

Resistance vs Endurance Exercise for Osteoporosis
Aurora, ColoradoAdults are often encouraged to exercise to maintain or improve bone health. However, there is evidence that exercise does not always lead to increases in bone mass, and exercise could lead to bone loss under certain conditions. Endurance exercise can increase bone resorption following an exercise bout, which may explain why bone does not always favorably adapt to exercise, but it is unclear if this also happens with resistance exercise. Further, it is not known how exercise training influences blood markers of bone resorption for either endurance or resistance exercise. The purpose of this study is to determine 1) if resistance exercise causes a similar increase in bone resorption as endurance exercise; and 2) if exercise training influences the increase in bone resorption following exercise for both endurance and resistance exercise.

Exercise + Calcium Supplementation for Osteoporosis
Aurora, ColoradoExercise is essential for building and maintaining bone mass and strength, but current exercise recommendations for how to achieve this lack detail on the optimal exercise prescription. Recent studies found that blood calcium level decreases during exercise, and that calcium is mobilized from bone to slow the decline. If this occurs repeatedly during exercise training, it could diminish the potential benefits of exercise to improve bone health. The proposed study will determine whether further research on pre-exercise supplemental calcium to minimize the decline in blood calcium level during exercise is warranted. This research is important for Veterans because they are at increased risk of hip fracture when compared with non-Veterans. Further, because osteoporosis in men is under-recognized and under-treated, providing male (and female) Veterans with more specific exercise and nutrition guidelines has the potential to enhance bone health, reduce fracture risk, and improve quality of life.

Virtual Rehabilitation for Spinal Fracture
Vancouver, British ColumbiaSpine fractures are the most common fracture due to osteoporosis. They happen during falls or activities of daily life, like bending to tie shoes. Fractures of the spine can result in pain, which can sometimes last for a long time. Spine fractures can affect breathing, appetite, digestion, and mobility, and can restrict or modify people's work or daily activities. There are no standard rehabilitation programs after spine fracture, and patients often have to pay for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation can be hard to access, especially in rural or remote locations. It can be hard to find health care or rehabilitation providers who specialize in treating spine fractures. After reviewing research and consulting patients and health care providers to understand their experiences with spine fracture rehabilitation, the research team developed a toolkit for a virtual rehabilitation program for people with spine fractures, called VIVA.
The research team wants to submit a grant for a clinical trial to implement VIVA in five provinces and determine if VIVA reduces pain and improves physical functioning and quality of life, and if the benefits outweigh the costs. Before this, the team proposes to do a pilot study to test how feasible it is to do a study of VIVA in three provinces.

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used for the control of gastric ulcer-gastritis, erosive esophagitis (gastroesophageal reflux disease), peptic ulcer disease (duodenal ulcer), and heartburn. Despite their efficacy, their use has been implicated in possibly causing fragility fractures (osteoporosis), hypomagnesemia (magnesium deficiency) and increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The current trial represents the investigators ongoing effort to discern whether these complications could be averted by effervescent calcium magnesium citrate (EffCaMgCit).

Milk + Yogurt for Bone Health
Saskatoon, SaskatchewanMilk and dairy products contain significant amounts of nutrients that contribute to optimal health - nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and high-quality protein. Fermented milk products or fermented dairy products are dairy foods that have been fermented with certain bacteria. Yogurt is a fermented dairy product containing millions of beneficial bacteria. In this study, the invesgitagtors will look at the effect of milk (a non-fermented dairy product) and yogurt (a fermented dairy product) supplementation on bone health and the amount of fat and muscle mass in Canadian young adults over a 24-month period. While dairy products contain significant amounts of nutrients, the scientific community does not know the impact of long-term supplementation of fermented (i.e., yogurt) or non-fermented (i.e., milk) dairy food on bone health and the amount of fat and muscle mass in young adults. To fill this knowledge gap, the investigators will recruit participants with low calcium intake and assign them to three different groups: 1) milk (intervention) group; 2) yogurt (intervention) group; and 3) control group. The investigators will ask the participants in the milk group to drink 1.5 servings (375 mL) of milk per day for 24 months. Participants in the yogurt group will consume 2 servings (350 g) of yogurt per day for 24 months. Those in the control group will continue their usual diets. Using a randomized controlled trial design, the investigators will measure bone health parameters, hormonal indices related to bone metabolism, body composition (e.g., muscle mass, fat mass), and the number and composition of bacteria living in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The hypothesis is that supplementation with yogurt will have more positive effects on bone health indices, particularly femoral neck BMD as the primary outcome, than milk in Canadian adults aged 19-30 years. The secondary hypothesis is that supplementation with yogurt, as a fermented milk product, will have a more beneficial effect than milk on body composition measures. The data will provide valuable information for developing targeted health initiatives and marketing strategies regarding the benefits of fermented and non-fermented dairy product consumption.

Surgical vs Non-Surgical Treatment for Hip Fracture
Saint Louis Park, MinnesotaLateral compression-1 (LC1) pelvic ring fragility fractures cause significant pain and morbidity. These fragility injuries are associated with prolonged immobility and long hospital stays. Currently there is no consensus on operative stabilization of LC1 pelvic fractures, nor are there evidence-based guidelines to aid in management of these injury types. Furthermore, there is variability in operative indications, improvement in pain and mobilization. The purpose of this study is to compare percutaneous screw fixation to non-operative management in symptomatic LC1 fragility fractures in elderly patients.

Reminder System for Osteoporosis Care
Winnipeg, ManitobaThe objective of this study is to evaluate a post-fracture intervention for improving osteoporosis care in older men and women who have suffered a fracture that may indicate the presence of osteoporosis. Although osteoporosis can be identified with a bone mineral density (BMD) test, most individuals with osteoporosis are not diagnosed until they fracture. Post-fracture care often "falls between the cracks" when there is a breakdown in communication between hospital and community, or between specialists and primary care physicians. Often physicians and patients fail to make the connection between an acute fracture and osteoporosis, or the value of secondary prevention strategies. If untreated, there is an extremely high rate of additional fractures after a first osteoporotic fracture. It follows that improving BMD testing and/or treatment in appropriately identified individuals is a necessary step in optimizing post-fracture patient care. Over the next three years we will be testing and optimizing a notification procedure to physicians and/or patients relying upon fracture events reported to the provincial health service (Manitoba Health).

CT-Based Bone Assessment for Fracture Risk in COPD
Iowa City, IowaThe goal of this translational study is to establish a newly emerging CT-based tool for the characterization of changes in bone micro-architecture and assessment of their implications for fracture-risk in a population of COPD patients at risk for osteoporosis. The tool will be suitable and generalizable across emerging CT scanners from different vendors, and it will provide a more structurally-based assessment of osteoporosis and bone loss than is provided by simple bone density measures. The study will characterize the impact of different COPD-related factors on bone structure, and their implications for fracture-risk, leading to the development of a COPD-specific model for assessment of fracture-risk that will utilize patient-specific demographic, clinical and radiographic data, and CT BMD at the spine, as well as bone structural measures at the hip and/or ankle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Osteoporosis clinical trials in Long Beach, CA pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Osteoporosis clinical trials in Long Beach, CA work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Osteoporosis trials in Long Beach, CA 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in Long Beach, CA for Osteoporosis is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in Long Beach, CA several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Osteoporosis medical study in Long Beach, CA ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Osteoporosis clinical trials in Long Beach, CA ?
Most recently, we added OPTIONS Program for Osteoporosis, Resistance Exercise for Osteoporosis and Rho AI Software for Osteoporosis to the Power online platform.
