History of Changes
  Purpose

Osteopenia and osteoporosis are being described more frequently in people with HIV infection. This study will test the efficacy of alendronate in comparison with a placebo after 2 years, in people with primary osteoporosis. People will receive the recommended adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D.

Osteoporosis
HIV Infections
 Drug: Alendronate

Further study details as provided by French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Percentage of variation of lumbar BMD on DEXA scan at month 24 versus month 0 for patients included with lumbar osteoporosis (femoral for those included with only femoral osteoporosis)

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Percentage of variation of femoral T-score between M0 and M24
  • Percentages of variation of lumbar and femoral T score between M0 and M12
  • Evolution of bone metabolism markers
  • Occurrence of fractures
  • Tolerance of alendronate
  • Measure of the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in HIV-infected men and women
  • Description of the evolution of osteoporosis in HIV-infected men and women receiving calcium and vitamin D to define risk factors for osteoporosis in HIV-infected persons

Estimated Enrollment: 140
Study Start Date: October 2004
Study Completion Date: November 2008
Primary Completion Date: November 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

The purposes of this trial are:

  • To study the efficacy of alendronate in HIV-associated osteoporosis
  • To measure the prevalence of osteoporosis in HIV patients and to detect risk factors in a large cohort of HIV patients from the screening phase
  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Non-pregnant
  • Non menopausal women
  • Total femur BMD below -2.5 SD (T score) or lumbar spine BMD below -2.5 SD (T score) or BMD below -1 associated with a vertebral osteoporotic fracture (diminution of vertebral height over 20%)

  • Testosterone below normal if treatment is hormonal
  • BMI below or equal to 18
  • Severe lung failure
  • Chronic alcohol intoxication
  • Ongoing opportunistic infection
  • Gastric ulcer of disease interfering with oesophageal motility in the previous 3 months
  • History of treatment for osteoporosis
  • History of malignancy in the previous 5 years (except skin cancer and Kaposi)
  • Cytotoxic chemotherapy or cytokine therapy
  • Liver cirrhosis
  • Breast feeding
