Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of zoledronic acid administered at the same time with teriparatide compared to zoledronic acid alone and teriparatide alone on bone mineral density (BMD) gain in the lumbar spine and total hip

Study Groups

Zoledronic acid plus teriparatide

Zoledronic acid 5.0 mg/100 mL was administered via a peripheral intravenous site at Visit 2 (once at randomization) as a slow 15-minute infusion. Teriparatide is supplied as sterile, colorless clear, isotonic solution in a glass cartridge which is pre-assembled into a disposable pen device for subcutaneous injection. The pen device delivers 20 μg of teriparatide concurrently as daily subcutaneous injections for 52 weeks.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Zoledronic acid

Intervention Type DRUG

Zoledronic acid 5.0 mg in a ready-to-infuse plastic bottle with a total fill volume of 103 mL to allow an infusion of 100 mL total volume corresponding to 5 mg of zoledronic acid.

Teriparatide

Intervention Type DRUG

Teriparatide is supplied as sterile, colorless clear, isotonic solution in a glass cartridge which is pre-assembled into a disposable pen device for subcutaneous injection. Each pre-filled delivery device is filled with 3.3 mL to deliver 3 mL.

Each mL contains 250 μg teriparatide (corrected for acetate, chloride, and water content), 0.41 mg glacial acetate acid, 0.10 mg sodium acetate (anhydrous), 45.4 mg mannitol, 3.0 mg Metacresol, and water for injection. In addition, hydrochloric acid solution 10% and/or sodium hydroxide solution 10% may have been added to adjust the product to pH 4. Each cartridge pre-assembled into a pen device delivers 20 μg of teriparatide per dose each day for up to 28 days.

Zoledronic acid

Zoledronic acid 5.0 mg/100 mL was administered via a peripheral intravenous site at Visit 2 (once at randomization) as a slow 15-minute infusion.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Zoledronic acid

Intervention Type DRUG

Zoledronic acid 5.0 mg in a ready-to-infuse plastic bottle with a total fill volume of 103 mL to allow an infusion of 100 mL total volume corresponding to 5 mg of zoledronic acid.

Placebo zoledronic acid plus teriparatide

Placebo zoledronic acid 100 mL intravenous (i.v.) (once at randomization) plus teriparatide 20 μg (daily subcutaneous injections administered concurrently through 52 weeks). Teriparatide is supplied as sterile, colorless clear, isotonic solution in a glass cartridge which is pre-assembled into a disposable pen device for subcutaneous injection. The pen device delivers 20 μg of teriparatide concurrently as daily subcutaneous injections for 52 weeks.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

Zoledronic acid matched placebo as a 103 mL solution of sterile water (physiologic 0.9% normal saline) to allow an infusion of 100 mL total volume in a ready-to-infuse plastic bottle

Teriparatide

Intervention Type DRUG

Teriparatide is supplied as sterile, colorless clear, isotonic solution in a glass cartridge which is pre-assembled into a disposable pen device for subcutaneous injection. Each pre-filled delivery device is filled with 3.3 mL to deliver 3 mL.

Each mL contains 250 μg teriparatide (corrected for acetate, chloride, and water content), 0.41 mg glacial acetate acid, 0.10 mg sodium acetate (anhydrous), 45.4 mg mannitol, 3.0 mg Metacresol, and water for injection. In addition, hydrochloric acid solution 10% and/or sodium hydroxide solution 10% may have been added to adjust the product to pH 4. Each cartridge pre-assembled into a pen device delivers 20 μg of teriparatide per dose each day for up to 28 days.
