OSTEOFORM, containing recombinant (rhPTH [1-34]), enhances bone mineral density and reduces risk for vertebral fracture. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of OSTEOFORM in the treatment of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women.
207 post-menopausal women were enrolled for screening at 6 centres, and supplemented with daily 1000 mg elemental calcium and 500 IU of vitamin D for 45 days. 82 eligible women with osteoporosis were randomly received daily either calcium and vitamin D alone (control group) or Osteoform 20 µg subcutaneously with calcium and vitamin D (drug group) for 12 months. End points such as percentage of increase in bone mineral density and, changes in bone biomarkers (serum osteocalcin, bone specific alkaline phosphatase, and urinary DPD) were evaluated at baseline, and 6 and 12 months after supplementation. Besides, safety parameters and adverse events were monitored through out the study period.
