Effect of Dexlansoprazole on Bone Homeostasis
brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dexlansoprazole modified release (MR), once daily (QD), on bone homeostasis.
detailed description
Research on drugs that affect bone homeostasis have shown changes in levels of bone formation and resorption biomarkers. This study will evaluate the effect of dexlansoprazole on bone homeostasis by assessing changes in biochemical markers of bone formation and bone resorption. This study will also assess changes in bone mineral density by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan and other markers of bone homeostasis.
The study will consist of a 12-week screening period, a 26-week treatment period with a total of 5 visits during the treatment period and a follow-up visit at Week 52 for bone mineral density assessment.
