Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of topiramate monotherapy on the bone and mineral metabolism markers, and bone density (the amount of mineral per square centimeter of bone ) in female participants with epilepsy (seizure disorder), before menopause (time in life when a woman stops having a menstrual period), as compared with healthy participants and comparative group received either carbamazepine or valproic acid monotherapy for at least last one year.

Seizures Convulsions Epilepsy Osteopenia Osteoporosis Drug: Topiramate Drug: Carbamazepine Drug: Valproic acid Drug: Normal control

Detailed Description:
This is a cross-sectional (observations or measurements made at a single point in time, usually at participant enrollment), multi-center (conducted in more than one center), and comparative study of topiramate monotherapy in female participants with epilepsy. Female participants must have received either topiramate, carbamazepine, or valproic acid monotherapy for more than one year for the treatment of epilepsy. Blood samples will be obtained from fasting participants to investigate the effect of study drug on the bone and mineral metabolism markers, and bone density compared to healthy participants and comparative group (carbamazepine and valproic acid monotherapy). Bone mineral density will be measured from the participants' lumbar spine or femur. A survey of food intake and physical activity for the participants will be performed using a standardized validated detailed questionnaire. The post-study visit (or follow up phone contact) will be performed for the occurrence of serious adverse events (SAE) for safety evaluation. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Absolute Concentration of Calcium in Serum and Random Urine [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    Bone and mineral metabolic marker represents the structure, cyclical metabolism, and hormone regulation of bone. Urinary calcium is one of the indicators of bone resorption (bone loss due to osteoclastic activity). Absolute concentration of calcium in serum and random urine will be assessed.

  2. Absolute Concentration of 25-hydroxy Vitamin D, Osteocalcin, Carboxy-terminal Telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTx) and Somatomedin-C (IGF-1) in Serum [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    Osteocalcin is a vitamin K-dependent calcium-binding protein synthesized by osteoblasts and found primarily in bones. Serum osteocalcin measurements provide a noninvasive specific marker of bone metabolism. CTx is marker for bone resorption (bone loss due to osteoclastic activity). IGF-1 has growth-regulating, insulin-like, and mitogenic activities. Absolute concentration of 25-hydroxy vitamin D, osteocalcin, carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTx) and somatomedin-C (IGF-1) in serum will be assessed.

  3. Absolute Concentration of 1-alpha 25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3, Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) in Serum [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    Bone and mineral metabolic marker represents the structure, cyclical metabolism, and hormone regulation of bone. 1-alpha 25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (vitamin D-3) and Parathyroid hormone (PTH) were assessed. The PTH maintains intracellular calcium levels in the body.

  4. Absolute Concentration of Bone-specific Alkaline Phosphatase (BSAP) in Serum [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    Bone and mineral metabolic marker represents the structure, cyclical metabolism, and hormone regulation of bone. Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP) reflects formation of organic matrix in bone. Absolute concentration of BSAP in Serum will be assessed.

  5. Absolute Concentration of Bicarbonate in Serum [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    Bicarbonate levels in the blood are an index of the alkali reserve or buffering capacity. Difference in Bicarbonate level between topiramate, carbamazepine and valproic acid monotherapy groups will be assessed.

  6. Absolute Concentration of Calcium in Urine in 24 Hours [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    Absolute concentration of calcium in urine will be examined by urine test.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Spine, Total hip and Femoral Neck Z-Score [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    Z-score is number of standard deviations a participant's bone mineral density (BMD) differs from the average BMD of their age, sex, and ethnicity. Positive scores indicate BMD above the mean; Positive values are "best values" and negative values are "worst values". Z-score will be evaluated for spine, hip and femoral neck.

  2. Percentage of Participants With Osteopenia and Osteoporosis Based on Spine T-score [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    Osteoporosis means reduction of bone mass without alteration in the composition of bone, leading to fractures. Osteopenia is a metabolic bone disease. The T-score is a radiographic diagnosis that compares bone mineral density (BMD) to that of a "normal, healthy, 30-year-old female". The lower the T-score, the lower the BMD. A T-score of +1 to -1 is normal. A T-score decrease of -1 indicates a 10%-15% decrease in BMD. Percentage of participants with osteopenia and osteoporosis based on spine T-score will be assessed.

  3. Percentage of Participants With Osteopenia and Osteoporosis Based on Spine Z-score [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    Osteoporosis means reduction of bone mass without alteration in the composition of bone, leading to fractures. Osteopenia is a metabolic bone disease. The Z-score is number of standard deviations a participant's bone mineral density (BMD) differs from the average BMD of their age, sex, and ethnicity. Positive scores indicate BMD above the mean; Positive values are "best values" and negative values are "worst values". Z-score will be evaluated for spine, hip and femoral neck. Percentage of participants with osteopenia and osteoporosis based on spine Z-score will be assessed.

  4. Absolute Concentration of Phosphorus and Creatinine in Random Urine [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    Absolute concentration of phosphorus and creatinine in urine will be examined by urine test.

  5. Absolute concentration of Sodium in Random Urine [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    Absolute concentration of sodium in urine will be examined by urine test.

  6. Absolute Concentration of Phosphorus and Creatinine in 24 Hour Urine [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    Absolute concentration of phosphorus and creatinine in 24 hour urine will be examined by urine test.

  7. Absolute concentration of Sodium in 24 Hour Urine [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    Absolute concentration of sodium in 24 hour urine will be examined by urine test.
