    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. This result is not evidence about taking Teriparatide (PTH 1-34).

    Summary
    In ALN-Rx, BMD changes at 24 months after Daily TPTD vs. 48 months after Cyclic TPTD were: LS 7.5% vs. 7.2%; TH 3.8% vs. 4.1%, and FN 3.2% vs. 2.5%. There were no differences between groups but all changes were significant within each group (p < 0.01).
