| Main Objective: •The change in procollagen 1 N-terminal Polypeptide (P1NP-1) from baseline to Day 96. ;Secondary Objective: • The change in CTX-1 from baseline to Day 96. • Repeated measurements analysis of P1NP using Mixed model to test the treatment effect and the time effect. • Repeated measurements analysis of CTX-1 using Mixed model to test the treatment effect and the time effect. • hPTH (1-34) Pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC, Cmax, ) of ViaDerm-hPTH (1-34) and Forteo SC at baseline and Day 96/early termination. • Compare the ratio of hPTH (1-34) AUC of transdermal treatment and Forteo SC. • Compare the ratio of hPTH (1-34) Cmax of transdermal treatment and Forteo SC. Safety Endpoints: • Percentages of patients with serum total calcium level exceeding the upper limit of the normal range. • Percentages of patients with serum total calcium level more than 1 mg/dl above the upper limit of the normal range. ;Primary end point(s): The change in procollagen 1 N-terminal Polypeptide (P1NP-1) from baseline to Day 96. | — |
