NCT00713258

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this trial is to show that PTH(1-84) is superior to alendronate in reducing back pain intensity over a 24-week treatment period in postmenopausal women with an osteoporosis related vertebral fracture(s). Secondly the objectives are to investigate any differences in patient reported outcomes between the two treatment arms over a 24-week treatment period in postmenopausal women with an osteoporosis related vertebral fracture(s).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Back Pain Intensity During 24 Weeks of Treatment Using a Numerical Rating Scale.

    The daily patient assessment of intensity of back pain is based on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) which is an 11-point numerical rating scale (from 0-10 with 0 = "no pain" and 10 = "unendurable pain").

    Baseline and 24 weeks treatment

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Physical Disability and Patient Reported Outcomes During 24 Weeks of Treatment

    Baseline and 24 weeks treatment

Study Arms (2)

PTH (1-84)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

PTH (1-84) + placebo alendronate

Drug: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) (1-84)

Alendronate

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

PTH (1-84) placebo + alendronate

Drug: Alendronate

Interventions

100 µg PTH(1-84) daily

PTH (1-84)

70 mg alendronate weekly

Alendronate
