Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases bone formation and thereby improves bone density and bone strength in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. However, prolonged PTH treatment increases bone formation less and less over time. This study will test whether increasing the daily dose of PTH sustains its ability to improve bone formation, and optional sub-studies will test several potential reasons why PTH's effects on bone formation decline over time.
