Osteoporosis-Related Randomized Clinical Trials With Middle-Aged and Older Adults Registered on the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A better understanding of the current features of osteoporosis-related randomized clinical trials (RCTs) is important for improving clinical trial designs and promoting the translatability of results into benefits for patients.

Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the characteristics of registered RCTs on osteoporosis among middle-aged and older adults on the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP).
