NCT04026256

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine, via iliac crest bone biopsies, the mechanism of combined teriparatide and denosumab on the bone of postmenopausal osteoporotic women after 3 months of treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Cancellous Bone Formation Rate at Month 3

    Cancellous bone formation rate at month 3 is calculated from the cancellous (trabecular) compartment of the iliac crest bone biopsy specimens. Bone formation rate (BFR/BS, mm3/mm2/day): amount of new bone formed in unit time per unit of bone surface. It is calculated by multiplying the mineralizing surface/bone surface (MS/BS) by the mineral apposition rate (MAR) - see below for how MS/BS and MAR are calculated. Mineralizing surface (MS/BS, %): is the percent of bone surface that displays a tetracycline label reflecting active mineralization. It is calculated as the double-labeled surface plus one half of the single-labeled surface and is expressed as a function of total bone surface. It is a measure of the proportion of bone surface upon which new mineralized bone was being deposited during the period of tetracycline labeling. Mineral apposition rate (MAR mm/day): is the mean distance between the double labels, divided by the time interval between them.
