Is there still capacity to join this clinical trial?
"Unfortunately, this trial is not currently recruiting at the moment. The original listing was posted on July 1st 2017 with a final update occurring in December 2021. If you're searching for other studies related to osteoporosis, there are 483 trials still actively looking for participants and 37 clinical trials seeking individuals taking Simvastatin medication."
Is this research pioneering in nature?
"The initial research into Simvastatin began in 2005, with Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC sponsoring the first clinical trial. Following this 80-person study, Phase 4 drug approval was granted for Simvastatin and today there are 37 active trials taking place across 239 cities and 31 countries."

Could I qualify to participate in the clinical research?
"This research project requires 76 individuals, aged 18-60, with a diagnosis of osteoporosis. Furthermore, participants must utilize wheelchairs as their primary means of locomotion and have sustained an acute spinal cord injury (AIS A-C) within the past three months. Lastly, they need to be able to understand directions in order to qualify for this study."
