Comparison of Teriparatide With Alendronate for Treating Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis
February 13, 2009 updated by: Eli Lilly and Company
Comparison of the Effects of Teriparatide With Those of Alendronate Sodium on Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density in Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition in which the amount of bone is reduced, the bones are weak, and there is an increased risk for fractures.
Glucocorticoids (such as prednisone) are prescribed to treat a large number of conditions such as arthritis and asthma.
When taken for several months or longer, glucocorticoids can cause bone loss and lead to a form of osteoporosis called "glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis."
This study compared the effects of teriparatide, the study drug, with alendronate, an approved drug for treating glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.
