May 30, 2018 updated by: Benjamin Leder, MD, Massachusetts General Hospital

The Denosumab And Teriparatide Administration Study (DATA)

The aim of this study is to determine whether denosumab (an FDA-approved osteoporosis therapy), in combination with teriparatide (an FDA-approved osteoporosis therapy), will increase bone mineral density more than either one alone in postmenopausal osteoporotic women.
