Primary study designInterventional
Study designExplorative trial
Secondary study designSingle-centre
Scientific title
Study objectivesWith this explorative trial we will investigate the effect of treatment with a bisphosphonate on markers of bone formation and bone resorption in patients with this rare metabolic disorder.

Hypothesis:
Treatment with a bisphosphonate leads to a decrease in the level of the marker of bone resorption in a period of three months.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAlkaptonuria
InterventionThree months oral treatment with risendronate 5 mg per day
Intervention typeDrug
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Risendronate
Primary outcome measure(s)

1. Change in bone markers
2. Bone formation: plasma alkaline phosphatase
3. Bone resorption: urine type I collagen cross-linked N-telopeptide

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

Pain using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)-score
