Calcium Supplements for Osteoporosis

Q: Can individuals aged sixty and over participate in this research?

Based on the study's inclusion criteria, only patients aged between 60 and 80 can participate.

Q: What other research has been conducted on the efficacy of Calcium Infusion?

Right now, 8 clinical trials investigating Calcium Infusion are in progress with 1 of them having reached Phase 3. Primarily conducted within the city limits of Pittsburgh, <a href="https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/pennsylvania">Pennsylvania</a>, there are 49 medical sites operating studies related to this molecule.

Q: How is Calcium Infusion commonly employed in clinical practice?

Calcium Infusion is frequently used to correct fluid imbalances and replenish electrolyte levels. Additionally, it has been utilized in cases of parenteral nutrition or hypovolemic shock.

Q: Is this research currently enrolling participants?

Affirmative. The information housed on clinicaltrials.gov confirms that this investigation is currently recruiting participants. It was first posted in November 1, 2015 and the most recent update took place on September 18th 2023. 35 patients will be accepted from one facility for enrollment into the trial.

Q: What is the size of the cohort being researched in this trial?

Study Summary

This trial will test if a "calcium clamp" can prevent bone breakdown during exercise by keeping calcium levels stable.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthy adults aged 60-80 who are currently taking bisphosphonates for osteoporosis. It's not suitable for those on other bone-affecting meds, with severe osteoporosis, uncontrolled high blood pressure, liver or kidney issues, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, asthma or heart disease.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if using a 'calcium clamp' to prevent drops in serum calcium during exercise can also stop increases in markers of bone loss. Participants will receive either Calcium Chloride/Calcium Gluconate or a placebo while exercising.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include reactions at the infusion site due to calcium administration such as warmth or discomfort and possible changes in blood pressure. Long-term effects on bone health are being studied.
