Osteoporosis study using bone tissue to find new targets
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks for new markers and treatment targets for osteoporosis by comparing bone tissue from women with a broken hip (due to weak bones) and women getting a hip replacement for arthritis. You may be eligible if you are postmenopausal and have one of these hip conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman who has gone through menopause.
- You have either a broken hip from osteoporosis or severe hip arthritis that needs a hip replacement.
- You have not had any other fractures caused by weak bones before this one.
- You do not have a serious heart, lung, autoimmune, or bladder condition.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how well your blood vessels work and how strong your muscles are, in women after menopause with osteoporosis. You may be asked to start standard osteoporosis treatment, and the researchers will study pain and changes related to vascular function and sarcopenia (loss of muscle and strength).
This study looks at what changes in the body after starting romosozumab (an osteoporosis treatment) in postmenopausal women at higher risk for fractures. Researchers want to understand the treatment’s “mechanism,” which may help improve future osteoporosis care.
This study collects information and samples around the time of certain bone or joint surgeries (like joint replacement or fracture repair) to learn what factors help or harm bone healing. The results may help find better targets to improve long-term bone health and recovery.
This study looks at people with osteoporotic hip fractures (breaks in the femur near the hip) and evaluates their care and outcomes. It may help improve how hip fractures are treated in people whose bones are weaker due to osteoporosis.
This study looks at bone health in people over 50 who have had a low-impact fracture in the last two years but do not have osteoporosis. It will help doctors better understand who might need treatment to prevent future breaks.
This study looks at how bone health and muscle strength (“osteosarcopenia” — loss of both bone and muscle) change after a hip fracture in older adults. It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk and how to better support recovery after hip surgery.
