A Study Using Imaging Technology to Measure Changes in Bone Structure After Treatment With Teriparatide

The Effects of Teriparatide on Bone Microarchitecture as Determined by High Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Digital Topological Analysis

The purpose of this study is to use imaging technologies to demonstrate the effects of teriparatide on bone structure following 18 to 24 months of therapy in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: teriparatide

Detailed Description

As teriparatide is approved for up to 24 months of treatment in the US, patients will be given the option to continue in a 6-month extension phase upon completion of 18 months of teriparatide treatment. This extension will allow for collection of additional bone quality data. In Canada, the use of teriparatide is currently approved for 18 months. Patients in Canada may be given the opportunity to participate in the 6-month extension phase, contingent upon Health Canada approval of the use of teriparatide treatment for 24 months.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Percent Change From Baseline in Surface-to-Curve Ratio (SCR) in the Distal Radius at Month 18 Endpoint	SCR is a measure of the computed ratio of plate-like to rod-like structures in a given volume of trabecular bone and reflects the integrity of the trabecular network. The higher the value for SCR, the more intact the trabecular network. Least squares (LS) mean of the percent change from baseline to 18 months is from a mixed model repeated measurements analysis. The model included terms for investigator site, prior bisphosphonate use, visit and baseline.	Baseline, 18 months
