Increases were 2-fold greater in daily vs cyclic groups (LS, 8.8 vs 4.8%; TH, 4.0 vs 2.1%; Troch, 5.6 vs 3.1%; and FN, 2.9 vs 1.2%; group differences, all P < .05).

In Rx-naive women, BMD increased in the lumbar spine (LS), total hip (TH), trochanter (Troch), and femoral neck (FN) in daily and cyclic groups (within groups, P < .0002, except cyclic FN, P = .13).
Subjects participated in a randomized open-label study for 2 years.
Within cohorts, women were randomized to daily TPTD for 24 months or four 3-month TPTD cycles, each followed by 3 months off (12 mo total TPTD).
