Study Summary

This trial is investigating whether the drug romosozumab is effective in increasing bone mineral density in women with anorexia nervosa, as well as investigating the safety of the drug in this population. The trial will compare the effects of romosozumab to placebo, and will also offer subjects the chance to take alendronate after the initial 12 months of the trial.

Who is the study for?
Women aged 20-60 with anorexia nervosa or atypical anorexia, having low bone density (BMD T-score < -1.0), normal vitamin D and calcium levels, who've had a dental check-up in the past year. They must not be on medications affecting bone metabolism recently, have no major illnesses like diabetes or untreated thyroid issues, and agree to use effective contraception if of reproductive age.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Romosozumab's effects on increasing bone mineral density (BMD) against a placebo in women with anorexia nervosa over 12 months. After this period, all participants will receive Alendronate for another year to see if it helps maintain or increase BMD further.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions where the medication is injected, increased risk of infections due to immune system effects, muscle pain or spasms related to changes in minerals like calcium and magnesium from treatment.
