Recruiting studies
- NCT07473713RecruitingPhase 1
Veverimer for bone loss in adults with osteopenia
This study tests whether a medication called veverimer can help reduce bone loss in adults with osteopenia (early bone thinning) by lowering the acid load from their diet. Participants must be 50 or older, eat a typical Western diet, and have low bone density but not full osteoporosis.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 50 years+ - NCT07056322Enrolling by invitation
Optimal meals to reduce bone loss in women with thinning bones
This trial tests whether specific meals can lower bone breakdown in postmenopausal women with osteopenia (thinning bones). It may help prevent osteoporosis by identifying a meal plan that protects bone health.
Aarhus NAges Up to 80 years - NCT07406685RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two bone medicines after stopping denosumab
This study compares two medicines (ibandronate and zoledronic acid) to see which one works better at keeping bones strong after stopping denosumab (Prolia). It's for postmenopausal women with mild to moderate bone thinning.
TaipeiAges 50–85 - NCT05701254Recruiting
Study how type 1 diabetes affects fracture risk bones
This study compares bone structure in women with type 1 diabetes versus women without diabetes, to understand why fractures can happen more easily. You may need blood tests, scans, and a small bone biopsy (a surgical sample from your hip/thigh area).
Omaha, NebraskaAges 50 years+ - NCT05787808Recruiting
Preventive treatment for people with early bone loss
This trial studies a preventive treatment for people over 55 who have early bone thinning (called osteopenia). If you qualify, it may help reduce the risk of getting osteoporosis and related fractures.
Skjetten, AkershusAges 55–85 - NCT06551155Recruiting
Blood test to screen bone health and fracture risk
This study uses a simple blood test to look for early signs of bone loss and fracture risk. It's for people 40 and older who are either healthy, have early bone thinning, or have known osteoporosis.
BolognaAges 40 years+ - NCT06606769Recruiting
Exercise to keep bones strong in women
This trial tests whether regular physical activity can help maintain bone density in women. It may be a good fit if you are a woman without a diagnosis of osteoporosis.
PoznanAges 50 years+ - NCT06608862Recruiting
Birth control and lifestyle effects on bone health in young female soldiers
This study looks at how birth control pills and lifestyle habits such as exercise and diet affect bone strength and the risk of breaking a bone in young women who are active duty soldiers. The results may help guide better ways to protect bone health in military women.
Munich, BavariaAges 18–35 - NCT06671665Recruiting
Manual therapy for low back pain in women with osteopenia
This study tests if manual therapy (hands-on treatment by a therapist) can reduce low back pain in postmenopausal women who have osteopenia, a condition where bones are weaker than normal but not yet osteoporosis. It aims to help with pain located in the lower back area.
GizaAges 50–60 - NCT06762730RecruitingPhase 4
Zoledronic acid to prevent bone loss from HIV treatment
This trial tests if zoledronic acid, a drug that strengthens bones, can prevent bone loss caused by starting HIV treatment. It is for people newly diagnosed with HIV who have not yet taken any HIV medication.
HaifaAges 18 years+ - NCT06851676Recruiting
Testing mineral water's effects on bone and muscle health
This trial tests if drinking Fonte Fausta® mineral water can help improve bone and muscle health in people with weak bones (osteopenia or osteoporosis). Researchers want to see if this water has special benefits beyond regular water.
Naples, ItalyAges 65 years+ - NCT06867952Recruiting
Vitamin K2 for bone loss with a specific gene change
This study tests whether taking vitamin K2 can help people with low bone density (osteopenia or osteoporosis) who have a specific change in the VDR gene. If you have this gene change, vitamin K2 may work better for you than standard supplements.
NovosibirskAges 40–75 - NCT06888544Recruiting
High-intensity interval training for bone health in older women
This trial tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can improve bone health in women aged 60 to 74 with osteopenia (low bone density, but not osteoporosis). Participation involves supervised exercise sessions and bone density measurements.
China, Hong KongAges 60–74 - NCT07083557Recruiting
Validation study for lab tests on hormones and metabolism
This study checks if lab tests used for hormone, heart, metabolism, and muscle disorders are accurate and reliable. You might be eligible if you are an adult with a body mass index between 16 and 60.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18–100 - NCT07187518Recruiting
Testing a new ultrasound device for bone density
This study tests a new ultrasound device (POROUS R4C) to see if it can accurately estimate bone mineral density. If it works well, it could offer a quick, radiation-free way to check bone health.
BerlinAges 21–55 - NCT07191353RecruitingPhase 2
Bone strength study: weight training and a drug for bone health
This trial tests whether combining resistance training with the drug rapamycin can improve bone formation in postmenopausal women who have lower-than-normal bone density but not osteoporosis. It aims to find a new way to strengthen bones and prevent fractures.
Bispebjerg, Region SjællandAges 60–75 - NCT07677033Recruiting
Bone and muscle health study for adults
This study looks at how well your bones and muscles work together. By measuring your bone density and handgrip strength, doctors can better understand your bone health and find ways to keep you strong as you age.
Küçükçekmece, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07412782Recruiting
REMS bone scan study for children with bone conditions
This study uses a new ultrasound technology called REMS to check bone health in children aged 5 to 18 who have conditions that weaken bones. It may help find low bone density without radiation.
Florence, TuscanyAges 5–18 - NCT07421713Recruiting
AI and chest x-rays to screen for osteoporosis
This trial tests if an AI software can use a chest x-ray to screen for osteoporosis, compared to the standard DXA bone density scan. It may offer a faster, simpler way to check bone health in people 50 and older.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for osteopenia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 19 recruiting osteopenia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a osteopenia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a osteopenia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
