This study is a preplanned extension of the DATA-HD study, where postmenopausal women with osteoporosis were randomized to receive 9 months of either 20 μg or 40 μg of teriparatide daily overlapping with denosumab (60 mg administered at months 3 and 9).
At the completion of this 15-month study, women were invited to enroll in the DATA-HD Extension where they received a single dose of zoledronic acid (5 mg) 24 to 35 weeks after the last denosumab dose.
