2-methylene-19-nor-(20s)-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin d3 ...Study Participants
157This study will evaluate the effect of a 1-year administration of the vitamin D analog 2-methylene-19-nor-(20S)-1alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (DP001) on bone mineral density (BMD), safety, and tolerability.
DP001 is a vitamin D analog that has been shown to stimulate bone formation in pre-clinical studies. In a Phase 1B study of postmenopausal women, an increase in the bone formation marker, osteocalcin, was evident without an increase in serum calcium. The aim of this study is to determine if 1-year administration of DP001 to postmenopausal women with osteopenia results in a significant increase in BMD at doses that are safe and well tolerated.

|---|
Percent change in lumbar spine BMD (relative to baseline) at Week 52
The percent change in hip BMD (relative to baseline) at Week 52
Percent change in femoral neck BMD (relative to baseline) at Week 52
Percent change in trochanter BMD (relative to baseline) at Week 52
Change in serum calcium value (relative to baseline) at Week 52
Percent change from baseline at Week 26
To assess safety and tolerability, the number of subjects in each treatment group who had one or more adverse events recorded after the beginning of study drug administration were determined.
