Bone Histomorphometry: Single-label SurfaceMonth 24 and month 84Bone biopsy samples were prepared according to standard procedures for bone histomorphometry. A double tetracycline labeling procedure was used to allow visualization and quantification of sites of new bone formation. Tetracycline was given for two periods of 3 days separated by 14 days where no tetracycline was taken. A single label is deposited if formation either started or ended during the interval between the uses of the two courses of tetracycline administration. Single-label surface is expressed as a percentage of total bone surface.
Bone Histomorphometry: Double-label SurfaceMonth 24 and month 84Bone biopsy samples were prepared according to standard procedures for bone histomorphometry. A double tetracycline labeling procedure was used to allow visualization and quantification of sites of new bone formation. Tetracycline was given for two periods of 3 days separated by 14 days where no tetracycline was taken. The presence of double labels indicates that normal bone mineralization was actively occurring over the entire labeling interval. Double-label surface is expressed as a percentage of total bone surface.
Bone Histomorphometry: Mineralizing SurfaceMonth 24 and month 84Bone biopsy samples were prepared according to standard procedures for bone histomorphometry. A double tetracycline labeling procedure was used to allow visualization and quantification of sites of new bone formation.

A double tetracycline labeling procedure was used to allow visualization and quantification of sites of new bone formation. Tetracycline was given for two periods of 3 days separated by 14 days where no tetracycline was taken.

A double tetracycline labeling procedure was used to allow visualization and quantification of sites of new bone formation. Tetracycline was given for two periods of 3 days separated by 14 days where no tetracycline was taken. The mineral apposition rate (MAR) is the average rate at which new bone mineral is being added on any actively forming surface. Adjusted MAR is calculated as: (average distance between visible labels / labeling interval) \* (total mineralizing surface/total bone surface).
Bone Histomorphometry: Bone Formation Rate - Surface BasedMonth 24 and month 84Bone biopsy samples were prepared according to standard procedures for bone histomorphometry. A double tetracycline labeling procedure was used to allow visualization and quantification of sites of new bone formation. Tetracycline was given for two periods of 3 days separated by 14 days where no tetracycline was taken. Bone formation rate - surface based is the calculated rate at which cancellous bone surface is being replaced annually, derived from the Mineral Appositional Rate \* 365 \* (relative mineralizing surface / total bone surface).
Bone Histomorphometry: Bone Formation Rate - Volume BasedMonth 24 and month 84Bone biopsy samples were prepared according to standard procedures for bone histomorphometry. A double tetracycline labeling procedure was used to allow visualization and quantification of sites of new bone formation. Tetracycline was given for two periods of 3 days separated by 14 days where no tetracycline was taken. Bone formation rate - volume based is the calculated rate at which cancellous bone volume is being replaced annually, derived from the Mineral Appositional Rate \* 365 \* (relative mineralizing surface / total bone volume).
Bone Histomorphometry: Formation PeriodMonth 24 and month 84Bone biopsy samples were prepared according to standard procedures for bone histomorphometry. A double tetracycline labeling procedure was used to allow visualization and quantification of sites of new bone formation. Tetracycline was given for two periods of 3 days separated by 14 days where no tetracycline was taken. Formation period (FP) is the mean time required to rebuild a new bone structural unit or osteon from the cement line back to the bone surface at a single location, and is given by wall width / adjusted apposition rate.
Percent Change From Baseline in Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density by VisitBaseline (of extension study) and months 12, 24, 36, 60 and 84Lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). DXA scans were analyzed by a central imaging center.
Bone Histomorphometry: Mineralization Lag TimeMonth 24 and month 84Bone biopsy samples were prepared according to standard procedures for bone histomorphometry. A double tetracycline labeling procedure was used to allow visualization and quantification of sites of new bone formation. Tetracycline was given for two periods of 3 days separated by 14 days where no tetracycline was taken. Mineralization lag time is the average time interval between osteoid formation and its subsequent mineralization and is calculated by dividing the osteoid width by the apposition rate.
Bone Histology at Month 24Month 24Bone biopsy samples were prepared according to standard procedures for bone histology to determine if there were any histological abnormalities in the bone. Results are reported for the number of biopsies with normal bone micro-architecture: normal lamellar bone, normal mineralization, and osteoid, and biopsies with abnormal bone histology: osteomalacia, marrow fibrosis, or woven bone.
Bone Histology at Month 84Month 84Bone biopsy samples were prepared according to standard procedures for bone histology to determine if there were any histological abnormalities in the bone. Results are reported for the number of biopsies with normal bone micro-architecture: normal lamellar bone, normal mineralization, and osteoid, and biopsies with abnormal bone histology: osteomalacia, marrow fibrosis, or woven bone.
Bone Histomorphometry: Activation FrequencyMonth 24 and month 84Bone biopsy samples were prepared according to standard procedures for bone histomorphometry. A double tetracycline labeling procedure was used to allow visualization and quantification of sites of new bone formation. Tetracycline was given for two periods of 3 days separated by 14 days where no tetracycline was taken. The average time that it takes for a new remodeling cycle to begin on any point on a cancellous surface is called the activation frequency. Activation frequency is calculated as the bone formation rate / wall width.

Bone Histomorphometry: Activation Frequency

Bone biopsy samples were prepared according to standard procedures for bone histomorphometry. A double tetracycline labeling procedure was used to allow visualization and quantification of sites of new bone formation. Tetracycline was given for two periods of 3 days separated by 14 days where no tetracycline was taken. The average time that it takes for a new remodeling cycle to begin on any point on a cancellous surface is called the activation frequency. Activation frequency is calculated as the bone formation rate / wall width.
