May 11, 2007 updated by: Eli Lilly and Company
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the increase in spine bone mineral density that has been generally observed in previous clinical studies involving the study drug can be maintained or even increased if followed with raloxifene HCl. All qualifying study participants will receive the study drug followed by treatment with raloxifene HCl or placebo. All study participants will receive raloxifene HCl in the third phase of the study.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Double

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
The study is designed to compare the effect of 1 year of raloxifene treatment with the effect of placebo on maintaining teriparatide-induced increases in spine and hip BMD.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
An open-label treatment phase will extend the study for 1 year beyond the primary endpoint. During this final year of the study all patients will receive raloxifene.
The purpose of lengthening is to assess the differences in response to raloxifene when it is administered immediately following versus 1 year after(with and without a washout period) withdrawal from teriparatide.
