Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if a second year of exposure to teriparatide in both subjects that received a year of teriparatide or teriparatide-placebo will result in a greater increase in bone mass density (BMD) compared to that seen in a single year's treatment. This study will also investigate 1) if a second year of teriparatide therapy will increase bone strength in people with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) who previously received a year of teriparatide or teriparatide-placebo, 2) the number of participants with adverse events from teriparatide, and 3) the effects of teriparatide on serum markers of bone metabolism.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Enrollment in, and completion of one year of treatment, in protocol "Effect of Teriparatide, Vibration and the Combination on Bone Mass and Bone Architecture in Chronic Spinal Cord Injury".
  • Adherence rate for teriparatide use of ≥60%.
  • Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 90 days following completion of therapy. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
  • A female of child-bearing potential is any woman (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who meets the following criteria:
  • Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or
  • Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months).
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Individuals who could not tolerate teriparatide treatment.
  • Individuals who will not be able to return for all study visits.
  • Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.
  • Other medical conditions that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude the subject from completing the study
