Study to Evaluate Effect of Intranasal Teriparatide on Bone Mineral Density in Postmenopausal Women With Low BMD

March 11, 2008 updated by: Nastech Pharmaceutical Company, Inc.

A Phase 2, 24-Week, Multicenter, Randomized, Parallel-Group, Dose-Ranging Study To Evaluate The Effect Of Teriparatide Nasal Spray On Bone Mineral Density In Postmenopausal Women With Low Bone Mineral Density

This study is being conducted to compare the effect of increasing nasal teriparatide dosing on percent change in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) of the lumbar spine after 24 weeks of therapy in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Have hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia from any cause or have a recent history of kidney stones or pre-existing hypercalciuria;
  • Have used any of the mostly commonly prescribed osteoporosis medications within 3 months of starting the investigational product, or for more than 1 month at any time within 6 months prior to starting investigational product.
