| Scientific title | An international, multicentre, open-label, efficacy and safety trial of intravenous zoledronic acid in infants less than one year of age, with severe osteogenesis imperfecta |
| Study objectives | This is an international, multicentre, open-label efficacy and safety trial. The primary objective is to evaluate the change in lumbar spine bone mineral density Z-score at month 24 relative to baseline using intravenous zoledronic acid compared to untreated historical controls in infants with severe osteogenensis imperfecta, who are between 2 weeks and 1 year of age, all inclusive. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Faculty of Medicine, McGill University Institutional Review Board, 08/06/2009, ref: A06-M73-06A |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Osteogenesis imperfecta |
| Intervention | All patients will receive an initial infusion of zoledronic acid at 0.0125 mg per kg body weight, followed by infusions of zoledronic acid given every three months at a dose of 0.025 mg per kg body weight, administered as a 30 to 45-minute infusion. There will be a total of 10 visits over the 24 month period of time for all patients. The total number of doses is 8. All zoledronic acid patients will be hospitalised for 48 hours at the first administration of zoledronic acid to monitor for drug reactions. Ionised calcium will be measure pre-dose, 12 hours, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose during the hospitalisation period. Sites will call all patients at scheduled monthly visits for determination of adverse events and concomitant medications throughout the study, except for those months where there is a scheduled on-site visit. Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurements of the lumbar spine and total body and radiological skeletal survey will be done at screening or at first administration of zoledronic acid, the 12 month visit (visit 6) and final visit (visit 10). Twenty infants will be enrolled; enrolment will be competitive. |
| Intervention type | Drug |
| Phase | Phase II |
| Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s) | Zoledronic acid |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
Change in lumbar spine bone mineral density Z-score at month 24 relative to baseline in zoledronic acid treated infants with severe osteogenesis imperfecta aged between 2 weeks to 1 year of age at entry, compared to historical controls. The efficacy of zoledronic acid will be demonstrated if it is shown to be a gain in Z-score of at least 1. |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
Effect of zoledronic acid on the change in whole body bone mineral content after 12 and 24 months of treatment relative to baseline compared to historical controls in infants 2 weeks to 1 year of age. |
| Completion date | 31/12/2012 |
