What is the Purpose of This Clinical Study?

This study aims to examine whether the investigational medication, romosozumab, may help reduce the number of fractures participants experience and build stronger bones.

Why Should We Consider This Clinical Study?

Participation in this study may provide useful information on osteogenesis imperfecta by helping researchers understand whether romosozumab may help build stronger bones and reduce fractures in children and teens.

By enrolling in this Phase III study, participants may receive:

Access to expert physicians with experience managing osteogenesis imperfecta (OI).

Reasonable reimbursement for parking and travel if qualified for the study.

The study required procedures and investigational medication provided at no cost.

What Should We Expect?

Step 1: Submit an Online Questionnaire

This questionnaire will ask for a legal guardian’s contact information and a few questions about your child or loved one’s medical history to determine their eligibility.  

Then, select a time for a short phone call with PatientWing. Submitting the questionnaire is voluntary and does not require a commitment to participate in the study.  

Step 2: Speak With PatientWing

PatientWing is helping to identify potential individuals who may be interested in this osteogenesis imperfecta study.

You will have a short call with PatientWing to answer additional questions about your child or loved one’s medical history.

Step 3: Speak With a Research Site

After your conversation with PatientWing, you and your child or loved one will meet the research team who will review their relevant medical records.

If the research team thinks your child or loved one may be eligible to participate, they will schedule a screening visit.

The research team will provide more information during your conversation with them. No question is a bad question so please share any concerns with the team!

Step 4: Study Participation

After your child or loved one has completed the screening period, the research team will notify you both about their eligibility.

If your child or loved one is enrolled in the study, you should expect the following:
  • They could be placed into one of two groups: one group receives romosozumab once a month for 12 months and one group will receive standard-of-care treatment with bisphosphonate. The standard of care treatment is a regimen which will be selected by the study doctor.

    They will visit the study site up to 17 times and you may join them for each visit. There is also the option of at-home visits which may make it easier for your child to potentially participate.
  • Reasonable reimbursement for parking and travel may be provided if qualified for the study.
