Treatment of Osteoporosis - TOP 2-5 Clinical Studies (Pear Control)

Due to the fact that bone mineral density (BMD) is a not enough sensitive parameter for assessment of the bone quality and that the changes in BMD are gradually, extension of the clinical follow up is recommended. On that way the result will be more reliable. Therefore the protocol "TOP 2-5" is the extension of TOP 1-study with a slight change of the study design. All subjects will be treated with Panaceo. It will be a "pear control", where the patient is control to himself, or herself (each patient from "placebo group (TOP1) can be compared after further years of threatment. Additionally, extension of the follow up will provide an assessment of the fracture risk in a more reliable manner, which is considered as the most preferably outcome in majority clinical studies of osteoporosis treatment, because it is the most important requirement for the acceptance by the regulatory agencies (FDA, EMA).
