  1. 01HumanRandomized controlled trialMechanism

    In adults with type I osteogenesis imperfecta, teriparatide increased serum sclerostin compared with placebo, significantly at 6, 12, and 24 months.

    Summary
    SOST levels increased in the group of patients with type I OI during therapy with teriparatide (compared with placebo, p = 0.01).
    2 context sentences
    Summary · context
    The increase was significant at 6, 12, and 24 months of therapy (p ≤ 0.02) and was apparent as early as 3 months (p = 0.06).
    Summary · context
    We measured serum SOST levels in adults with OI who were enrolled in a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial that evaluated the effects of osteoanabolic therapy with teriparatide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

In this study, Teriparatide (PTH 1-34) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Teriparatide (PTH 1-34).

  1. 03HumanNot a test of Teriparatide (PTH 1-34) aloneObservational studyOther

    In adults with osteogenesis imperfecta receiving teriparatide, greater sclerostin increases were inversely correlated with vertebral volumetric BMD increases.

    In plain wordsIn adults receiving teriparatide for osteogenesis imperfecta, greater sclerostin increases were linked to smaller vertebral bone density increases.

    Summary
    The magnitude of increases in SOST levels during therapy was inversely correlated with increases in vertebral volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD).
