Denosumab for muscle loss in older adults with osteoporosis
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a drug called Denosumab, which is used to treat bone loss, can also help improve muscle strength and mass in older adults who have both osteoporosis and sarcopenia. If you qualify, you would receive the drug and be monitored over time to see if it helps your bones and muscles.
