NCT00145704

RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment

Summary

The purpose of this project is to evaluate the hypothesis that bisphosphonate treatment given to growth hormone deficient patients (regardless of current growth hormone replacement therapy status and without changing that status) significantly increases total body bone mineral density during an eighteen month period of treatment combined with calcium and Vitamin D when compared to calcium and Vitamin D treatment alone.
