Summary

The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that teriparatide is superior to the active comparator in the change from baseline to 18 months of lumbar spine volumetric trabecular bone mineral density (BMD) in males with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Ambulatory men 25 years of age and older presenting to Visit 1 with a bone mineral density (BMD) of at least 1.5 standard deviation (SD) below the corresponding normal young adult men average BMD (T score of -1.5 or lower), as determined from the manufacturer's database at any of the following regions of interest: total hip, femoral neck, or lumbar spine
  • Have received glucocorticoid therapy at an average dose of at least 5.0 milligrams (mg) per day of prednisone or its equivalent for a minimum of 3 consecutive months immediately preceding screening (Visit 1), as determined by medical history.
  • A minimum of 2 lumbar vertebrae (L) in the L-1 through L-3 region must be evaluable by quantitative computerized tomography.
  • Normal or clinically insignificant abnormal laboratory values (as determined by the investigator) including serum calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH) (1 84), and 25 hydroxyvitamin D concentrations, and alkaline phosphatase activity.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Presence of a mild, moderate, or severe spinal fracture in both the twelfth thoracic vertebra (T-12) and first lumbar vertebra (L-1), as determined by the central reading facility using the semiquantitative technique.
  • Abnormal albumin-corrected serum calcium levels
  • History of unresolved skeletal diseases that affect bone metabolism other than glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis
  • History of malignant neoplasms in the 5 years prior to Visit 2, with the exception of superficial basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas of the skin that have been definitively treated. Increased baseline risk of osteosarcoma; this includes patients with Paget's disease of the bone, previous primary skeletal malignancy, or skeletal exposure to therapeutic irradiation.
  • Abnormal thyroid function not corrected by therapy
  • Past and/or current treatment with certain medications.
