Treatment of Osteoporosis - TOP1 Clinical Study

Treatment of Osteoporosis by Panaceo: Randomized, Double-blind, Controlled, Study Assessed Effect on Bone Mineral Density and Bone Turnover of Panaceo Compared to Placebo in Osteoporotic Patients

This study investigates the effect of zeolite on bone mineral metabolism. The clinical parameters include bone mineral density, bone remodelling markers, fractures and fallings, the subjective evaluation of the overall health status and intensity of the musculoskeletal pain measured by VAS.

Randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. The Study lasts 12 months. Study Population: The study population will consist of 100 patients with osteoporosis defined according BMD (bone mineral density) criteria: T score -2, 5 on the femoral neck, and, or T -2, 5 on L1-L5, who has not been treated before, or in whom privies treatment did not been successful, despite a gender or age. Subjects will be randomized in each cohort to receive PMA-zeolite (Panaceo) or placebo (1:1). All of them will receive Vit D3 800 j daily.

The double blind design can be reached by a "third party blinding" where a qualified person, not being involved in the assessment of the study, will administer the study treatment.

Follow up DXA, Ca, P, ALP, Osteocalcin, Cross laps, Creatinin will be done to each subject before the treatment, 6 months later and after 12 months. IVA (vertebral deformity assessment) will be performed before the treatment and after 12 months.

Inclusion Criteria:

• 100 subjects with osteoporosis Among those, as a subgroup, 20 subjects with diabetes type 2 and osteoporosis

  • The osteoporosis- was diagnosed by standard DXA measurement (BMD T-score: - 2.5 or below )

Exclusion Criteria:

• chronic renal failure, secondary osteoporosis
