Osteoporosis Research
We are looking for male volunteers, aged 65 years or older who are
not already on treatment for osteoporosis (thin bones) and have any of
the following risk factors:
• low bone mineral density
• low body weight
• family history of osteoporosis
The study is testing an investigational medication for the treatment of
male osteoporosis. During the two year study period participants
will attend the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, Darlinghurst on
seven occasions and have a number of bone density scans, spinal x-rays,
and blood and urine specimens collected.
If you are interested and wish to know whether you might be eligible,
please contact Ruth Toppler on (02) 9295 8269 or Maureen Gaynor on (02)
9295 8255.
This study has been approved by the St Vincent’s Hospital Human
Research Ethics Committee (Ref No: 07/SVH/032).
