You may qualify if:
- Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
- Ambulatory, 5 years or more past menopause.
- BMD T score between -2.5 and -4.0 at the lumbar spine or femoral neck.
- Normal or clinically insignificant abnormal laboratory values, including serum calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH) 1-84, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and alkaline phosphatase.
