Study Summary

This trial is studying if bisphosphonate treatment can help improve hearing loss in people with OI type I.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with type I Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) and hearing loss. Adults aged 18+ with mild hearing loss and children aged 6-17, whether currently on bisphosphonates or not, can join. Participants must have a Vitamin D level >30. Those with family history of non-OI related hearing loss or pregnant individuals cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effects of Risedronate Oral Tablet, a bisphosphonate, on OI-related hearing loss in adults and observes its use in children already receiving it for orthopedic symptoms. It's a comparison between treated adults/children and untreated controls over approximately 5 years.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, bisphosphonates like Risedronate may commonly cause digestive issues, muscle or joint pain, and sometimes more serious conditions such as jaw bone problems or unusual thigh bone fractures.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Adult Treatment ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Intervention treatment arm. Adults (18+ years) with type 1 OI. Must have at least mild hearing loss. Will receive Risedronate (35mg, 0-2x/week as clinically indicated) for duration of study. Changes in hearing, quality of life, and bone density will be monitored.
Group II: Adult Control ArmActive Control1 Intervention
Observational arm. Adults (18+ years) with type 1 OI. Changes in hearing, quality of life, and bone density will be monitored.
Group III: Child (Control Arm)Active Control1 Intervention
Observational arm. Children (6-17 years) with any type of OI who are not receiving bisphosphonate treatment. Changes in hearing, quality of life, and bone density will be observed for the duration of the study.
Group IV: Child (Bisphosphonate Arm)Active Control1 Intervention
Observational (no investigational intervention) arm. Children (6-17 years) with any type of OI who are already receiving bisphosphonate treatment as standard of care treatment for orthopedic symptoms. Changes in hearing, quality of life, and bone density will be observed for the duration of the study.
