Standard Clinical Practice Regimen
ACTIVE COMPARATORStandard Clinical Practice (Daily) Regimen: 18 months of daily subcutaneous Forteo followed by denosumab therapy for 18 months (18 months of Forteo then 3 injections of Prolia at 18, 24 and 30 months).
Experimental (cyclic) regimen
EXPERIMENTALExperimental (Cyclic) Regimen: three separate 6-month cycles of daily subcutaneous Forteo, each followed by one subcutaneous injection of Prolia (Forteo from 0 to 6 months, and then from 12 to 18 months and then from 24 to 30 months, for a total dose of 18 months; 3 injections of Prolia at 6, 18 and 30 months).

Eligibility Criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Subjects who meet initial pre-screening criteria will present for an on site screening visit and have a full medical history, brief physical exam, BMD and lab evaluation to confirm eligibility. Osteoporosis will be defined by DXA BMD T-Score \< -2.5 at lumbar spine (at least 2 evaluable vertebrae between L1 and L4), or total hip or femoral neck. In addition, women with confirmed vertebral deformity on radiograph or lateral DXA image, or prior osteoporosis-related fracture at age \>45 along with a DXA BMD T-Score \< -1.5 at one or more skeletal sites will be eligible to participate.
- The use of drugs known to affect skeletal or calcium homeostasis.
- Multiple vertebral fractures or severe lumbar degenerative changes with fewer than 2 evaluable lumbar vertebrae
- Current use of anti-resorptive medicines
- Use of Hormone/Estrogen Therapy, raloxifene or calcitonin within the past 3 months
- Use of oral bisphosphonate for more than 4 months within the past 2 years or more than 5 years total cumulative bisphosphonate use in the past 10 years
- Use of intravenous ibandronate within the past 18 months
- Use of intravenous zoledronic acid within the past 4 years
- A history of a symptomatic renal stone within the past 3 years or history of multiple symptomatic renal stones
- Skeletal Disorders other than osteoporosis including: Hypercalcemia, hyperparathyroidism, Paget's Disease or osteomalacia
- Untreated or uncontrolled thyroid disease
- Elevated Bone Specific Alkaline Phosphatase level
- History of external or internal radiation therapy
- Renal insufficiency with estimated GFR below 30 ml/min
- Liver function tests (ALT/AST) more than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal
- +3 more criteria
