Condition(s) targeted: Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Intervention: Alendronate (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Peking Union Medical College Hospital

Summary

Alendronate should be considered as an alternative therapy of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) because it significantly increased areal bone mineral density (BMD) and its Z score, decreased fracture incidence, inhibited bone resorption biomarkers. Alendronate exerted beneficial roles in different age brackets, especially in young patients with OI.
