The primary efficacy outcome was change from baseline in lumbar spine BMD.
To evaluate whether anabolic therapy together with HT provides additional benefits in the treatment of PMO, we evaluated the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) 1-84 in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density (BMD) who were receiving chronic (> or =6 months) HT. Subjects were randomized…
