A Study of LY2541546 in Women With Low Bone Mineral Density

A Phase 2 Randomized Study of LY2541546 Versus Placebo in Postmenopausal Women With Low Bone Mineral Density: An Evaluation of the Dose Response Relationship Using Bone Mineral Density

The primary objectives of this study include evaluating the dose response of LY2541546 using bone mineral density (BMD) change from baseline as compared to placebo and evaluating the overall safety and tolerability of LY2541546 following multiple subcutaneous administrations in postmenopausal (PMP) women with low BMD. Following the last dose of study drug, participants will be able to participate in a 12 month extension to collect additional safety and efficacy data (no further treatment will be administered during this extension).
