In a subset of women for whom data were available at every time point (3, 6, 12, and 18 months; n=129), teriparatide significantly increased LS BMD by 3.9% at 3 months of treatment and 11.8% at 18 months.2
Effects of Teriparatide on BMD in Men With Primary or Hypogonadal Osteoporosis
Using a LOCF analysis, results showed that teriparatide treatment, for a median of 10 months, significantly increased baseline LS BMD by 5.9% compared to placebo (p<.001). Significant increases in LS BMD were seen at 3 months.1
Teriparatide treatment significantly increased FN BMD by 1.5% from baseline compared to the placebo group (p<.05).1
There was no significant difference observed in the change from baseline to endpoint TH BMD.1
Effects of Teriparatide on BMD in Men and Women With Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis
Results from a LOCF analysis showed that teriparatide significantly increased baseline to endpoint BMD at the LS, FN, and TH by 7.2%, 3.7%, and 3.6%, respectively, at the 18-month endpoint (p<.001 at all sites).1
