Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Determine whether subject knowledge of baseline vertebral fracture prevalence and awareness of results of bone turnover marker (BTM)determinations would result in an increase in persistence with Actonel 5 mg daily therapy
12 months
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Evaluate relationship between prevalence of vertebral fractures and duration of prior steroid therapy, amount of prior steroid therapy, and diagnosis of disease for which steroids were used
12 months
To evaluate the correlation between baseline vertebral fracture prevalence and subject persistence with Actonel 5 mg daily
12 months
Evaluate influence of Actonel 5 mg on BTM determinations and bone mineral density(BMD) at study finish relative to baseline
12 months
Interventions
Actonel 5 mg orally once daily (OD), calcium 500 mg + vitamin D 200 units twice daily (BID)
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Subjects with a variety of rheumatologic, pulmonary, and skin conditions.
- Subjects were to be on oral glucocorticoids with a mean daily dose of greater than or equal to 5.0 mg prednisone (or its equivalent) and were expected (although not required) to remain on a daily dose of greater than or equal to 5.0 mg prednisone (or its equivalent) for 12 months after the study started.
- Women must have been at least one year post-menopausal or surgically sterile.
- Subjects must have had evaluable BMD site at the lumbar spine (LS) and proximal femur.
You may not qualify if:
- Subject's unwillingness to take Vitamin D, calcium supplements or study medication
- A history of hyperparathyroidism, hyperthyroidism or osteomalacia or other metabolic bone disease within one year prior to enrollment

- Have received a depot injection of \> 10,000 IU Vitamin D in the past 12 months
- Have a documented history of an abnormal or allergic reaction to bisphosphonates
- History of recurrent nephrolithiasis or a history of one episode of nephrolithiasis within 5years of study entry
- Severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance of \<30 mL/min)
- Subjects on steroid therapy for transplantation
- Subjects on oral glucocorticoids for \>8 weeks but \<6 months at screening
- History of hypersensitivity to the investigational product or to drugs with similar chemical structures
- Clinically relevant cardiovascular, hepatic, neurological, endocrine, or other major systemic disease making implementation of the protocol or interpretation of the study results difficult
- Mental condition rendering the subject unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study
