Eligibility

All

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Postmenopausal women = 45 years of age at the time of entry into the trial, whose last menstrual period occurred at least 2 years prior to entry into the trial, and are sufficiently mobile to complete study visits. Women 40 IU/L and serum estradiol level =65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Increased baseline risk of osteosarcoma. This includes patients with Paget’s disease of the bone, previous primary skeletal malignancy, or skeletal exposure to therapeutic irradiation. As elevation of serum alkaline phosphatase activity may indicate the presence of Paget’s disease, an unexplained elevation of this enzyme activity will also be exclusionary. History of unresolved skeletal diseases that affect bone metabolism, other than osteoporosis, including renal osteodystrophy, osteomalacia, hyperparathyroidism (uncorrected), hypoparathyroidism, and intestinal malabsorption. Abnormally elevated values of serum albumin-corrected calcium levels at baseline, defined as = 10.6 mg/dL (or = 2.65 mmol/L). Abnormally low values of serum albumin- corrected calcium levels at baseline, defined as 72 pg/mL (or > 7.6 pmol/L). Severe vitamin D deficiency at baseline defined as 25-hydroxy-vitamin D levels 20 mg/day) for more than 3 months in the 2 years prior to Visit 1

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate if teriparatide 20 µg subcutaneously once daily is superior in reducing the incidence of new vertebral fractures during 24 months of therapy, when compared with risedronate 35 mg orally once weekly, in postmenopausal women with prevalent vertebral fragility fractures.;Secondary Objective: The key secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate if teriparatide 20 µg/day is superior in reducing the incidence of the following key outcomes during 24 months of therapy, when compared with risedronate 35 mg/week: 1. Incidence of pooled new and worsening vertebral fractures. 2. Incidence of pooled clinical fractures. 3. Incidence of non-vertebral fragility fractures. 4. Incidence of major non-vertebral fragility fractures: hip, radius, humerus, ribs, pelvis and ankle.;Primary end point(s): Incidence of new vertebral fractures;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During the 24-month treatment phase

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Key secondary fracture endpoints : Incidence of pooled new and worsening vertebral fractures. Incidence of pooled clinical fractures. Incidence of non-vertebral fragility fractures. Incidence of major non-vertebral fragility fractures: hip, radius, humerus, ribs, pelvis, and ankle. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During the 24-month treatment phase
