About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Osteoporosis

Eligibility Criteria

50 Years - 85 Years (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Ambulatory with osteoporosis Hip or spine bone mineral density (BMD) measurement more than 2.5 standard deviations below the average bone mass of young healthy women or more than 2.0 standard deviations in women who have a history of a vertebral or nonvertebral fragility fracture. Exclusion Criteria: Diseases of bone other than osteoporosis Treatment with estrogens in the 3 months prior to enrollment or for more than 2 months in the past year Treatment with oral bisphosphonates in the 3 months prior to enrollment or for more than 2 months in the past year; treatment with intravenous bisphosphonates in the 12 months prior to enrollment Increased risk for the development of osteosarcoma

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Teriparatide

Arm Description

Participants receive teriparatide 20 microgram once daily by subcutaneous injection for 18 months followed by 6 months off therapy

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Whole Skeleton Skeletal Plasma Clearance of 99m Technetium Methylene Diphosphonate (99m Tc-MDP) to 18 Months
Skeletal plasma clearance is defined as the volume of plasma cleared of tracer (99m Tc-MDP) by the skeleton per unit time (milliliter/minute). Kbone is the rate constant representing plasma clearance of tracer to bone. The Patlak plot method was used to evaluate whole skeleton 99mTc-MDP skeletal plasma clearance (Kbone).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in Skeletal Plasma Clearance of 99m Technetium Methylene Diphosphonate (99m Tc-MDP) in the Whole Skeleton, Skull, Mandible, Spine, Pelvis, Upper Extremities, and Lower Extremities
Skeletal plasma clearance is defined as the volume of plasma cleared of tracer (99m Tc-MDP) by the skeleton per unit time (milliliter/minute). Kbone is the rate constant representing plasma clearance of tracer to bone. The Patlak plot method was used to evaluate whole skeleton 99mTc-MDP skeletal plasma clearance (Kbone) and to derive regional values for the skull, mandible, spine, pelvis, and upper and lower extremities.
Change in Skeletal Uptake of 99m Technetium Methylene Diphosphonate (99m Tc-MDP) in the Whole Skeleton, Skull, Mandible, Spine, Pelvis, Upper Extremities, and Lower Extremities
Skeletal uptake describes the percent uptake of radionuclide tracer by the skeleton when compared to baseline or other post-baseline measures. Skeletal uptake is defined as percentage of uptake of 99mTc-MDP 4 hours after injection. This value differs from skeletal plasma clearance measurements because it only quantifies the amount of 99mTc-MDP taken up by bone without consideration of concentration of tracer in the plasma.
Change in Qualitative Visual Scores of Focal Uptake of 99m Technetium Methylene Diphosphonate (99m Tc-MDP) in the Whole Skeleton
Changes in focal uptake (localized, defined areas of uptake) were visually scored and compared to baseline or other post-baseline assessments. Changes were rated on a scale from 0-4: 0=no clinically significant focal areas of skeletal uptake; 1=focal areas affecting <1% of skeleton; 2=focal areas affecting >=5% of skeleton; 3=focal areas affecting >=20% of skeleton; 4=focal areas affecting >=50% of skeleton.
Number of Participants With Changes in Diffuse Uptake of 99m Tc-MDP - Qualitative Visual Assessment in the Whole Skeleton
Changes in diffuse uptake were determined by comparing diffuse uptake to baseline or other post-baseline observations. Diffuse uptake indicates response to therapy (during active treatment, increased diffuse uptake was expected; after the 6-month withdrawal period, decreased diffuse uptake was expected). Qualitative visual scoring of changes in the bone scan images were performed jointly by 3 reviewers who classified changes in the whole skeleton into 4 groups as follows: possible decreased response, no response, possible response, and definite response.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of teriparatide on skeleton images in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Teriparatide is a bone formation agent that stimulates the production of new bone in the skeleton. This process of bone formation can be studied using a technique commonly referred to as a bone scan or nuclear scintigraphy. This trial will test whether bone scans will identify areas of the skeleton that are forming new bone during teriparatide therapy. It also will study what these areas look like after therapy is stopped.
