Treatment and study plan

Teriparatide

Drug

Subcutaneous, 20 micrograms/day, 24 weeks

Other names: LY333334, Forteo, Forsteo

Salmon Calcitonin

Drug

Intranasal, 200 International Units (IU)/day, 24 weeks

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage Change From Baseline to 24 Week Endpoint in Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density (BMD), Postmenopausal Women

    Time frame: Baseline to 24 weeks

    Lumbar spine bone mineral density (milligrams per square centimeter) was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Change = Endpoint minus baseline.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage Change From Baseline to 24 Week Endpoint in Total Hip Bone Mineral Density (BMD), Postmenopausal Women

    Time frame: Baseline to 24 weeks

    Total hip bone mineral density (milligrams per square centimeter) was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Change = Endpoint minus baseline.

  2. Percentage Change From Baseline to 12 Weeks and 24 Weeks in Osteocalcin, Postmenopausal Women

    Time frame: Baseline to 12 weeks and 24 weeks

    Measures of serum osteocalcin (nanograms per milliliter). Change = Endpoint minus baseline.

  3. Percentage Change From Baseline to 24 Week Endpoint in Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density (BMD), Men

    Time frame: Baseline to 24 weeks

    Lumbar spine bone mineral density (milligrams per square centimeter) was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Change = Endpoint minus baseline.

  4. Percentage Change From Baseline to 24 Week Endpoint in Total Hip Bone Mineral Density (BMD), Men

    Time frame: Baseline to 24 weeks

    Total hip bone mineral density (milligrams per square centimeter) was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Change = Endpoint minus baseline.

  5. Percentage Change From Baseline to 12 Weeks and 24 Weeks in Osteocalcin, Men

    Time frame: Baseline to 12 weeks and 24 weeks

    Measures of serum osteocalcin (nanograms per milliliter). Change = Endpoint minus baseline.
