Abstract
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of daily administration of recombinant parathyroid hormone (PTH1-34), 20 μg, on serum calcium concentrations (Cas), and the requirements of oral calcium and calcitriol in patients with hypoparathyroidism. It is a prospective, longitudinal study, analytical, with intervention, in patients treated with high doses of calcium (> 7 g/day), with symptoms of hypocalcemia and/or intolerant to treatment. Serum levels of phosphorus (Ps) and Cas, urinary calcium excretion, oral doses of calcitriol and calcium were compared before and after administration of teriparatide, for three months on average, in patients with post-surgical hypoparathyroidism. We studied 16 patients with oral elemental calcium requirements of 22.5 ± 16 g/day of calcitriol 0.79 ± 0.4 µg/day. Cas at baseline was 7.6 ± 1.2 and Ps 5.4 ± 0.76 mg/dl. After administration of teriparatide, Cas was 9.0 ± 0.69 mg/dl (p = 0.007) and Ps of 4.5 ± 0.87 mg/dl (p = 0.003). Doses of calcium and calcitriol showed a statistically significant reduction (p = 0.0001 and 0.001, respectively). We conclude that use of recombinant parathyroid hormone can normalize Cas and Ps, with reduction in oral calcium and calcitriol requirements.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Once-weekly 56.5-μg teriparatide treatment was significantly associated with the increase in lumbar spine bone mineral density at 48 weeks among hemodialysis patients with hypoparathyroidism and low bone mass; however, discontinuation of treatment because of adverse events was frequently observed. Careful monitoring for adverse events should be required. INTRODUCTION Once-weekly 56.5-μg teriparatide is reportedly effective for treating osteoporotic patients without renal insufficiency. However, little is known about the efficacy and safety of once-weekly teriparatide in hemodialysis patients. METHODS We conducted a 48-week prospective, observational cohort study including 22 hemodialysis patients aged 20 years or older with hypoparathyroidism and low bone mass who received once-weekly teriparatide at 56.5 μg at a tertiary care hospital between January 2013 and January 2015. Primary outcomes were within-subject percent changes of bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and distal one-third radius at 24 and 48 weeks. Secondary outcomes included percent changes of serum bone turnover markers (osteocalcin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), N-terminal propeptide of procollagen type 1 (P1NP), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP-5b)). Adverse events were evaluated. RESULTS The BMD increased at the lumbar spine by 3.3 ± 1.9 % (mean ± SEM) and 3.0 ± 1.8 % at 24 and 48 weeks but not in the femoral neck and distal one-third radius. Serum osteocalcin, BAP, and P1NP increased significantly at 4 weeks, maintaining higher concentrations up to 48 weeks, although TRAP-5b decreased gradually during treatment. The baseline BAP was significantly associated with the 48-week percent change in lumbar spine BMD. Transient hypotension was the most common adverse event. Ten patients discontinued treatment because of adverse events. CONCLUSIONS Once-weekly teriparatide was associated with increased lumbar spine BMD in hemodialysis patients with hypoparathyroidism and low bone mass. Careful monitoring should be required for treatment of such patients.

Nakatoh S. The importance of assessing the rate of bone turnover and the balance between bone formation and bone resorption during daily teriparatide administration for osteoporosis: a pilot study. J Bone Miner Metab 2016; 34:216-24. [PMID: 26031934 DOI: 10.1007/s00774-015-0665-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2014] [Accepted: 02/23/2015] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to examine the importance of simultaneously measuring bone formation and resorption markers during daily teriparatide administration. In 135 women with osteoporosis, bone mineral density (BMD) was measured at 0, 24, and 48 weeks after teriparatide administration. Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b were measured at 0, 4, 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks. Subanalyses were performed in groups divided according to the BMD change at 48 weeks (increased and decreased groups), history of fragility fracture (acute and chronic groups), and treatment prior to teriparatide administration (alendronate, raloxifene, and naïve groups). The scatter diagram of multiple of median formation (MoMf) and multiple of median resorption (MoMr) showed that the distribution gradually spread to a high turnover by week 24. A significant correlation was observed between the rate of change in BMD at week 48 and the turnover rate [√(MoMf(2) + MoMr(2))] at week 0. Significant differences were observed in the turnover rate between the acute and chronic groups at weeks 0 and 4 and between the groups divided according to prior treatment from week 0 to 24. Because the assessment of either bone formation markers or bone resorption markers may result in erroneous data, it is necessary to assess them together during teriparatide treatment. The turnover rate at treatment initiation is a useful indicator to predict changes in BMD. When evaluating the turnover rate and balance (MoMf/MoMr), one should consider patient characteristics, including history of fragility fracture and prior treatment.

Abstract
Teriparatide(recombinant human PTH1-34, 20 μg daily subcutaneous injection)has been approved for osteoporosis patients at high risk of fracture in many countries including Japan. Teriparatide daily injection therapy has been reported to increase BMD, improve microarchitecture of bone, and reduce the risk of new vertebral fractures and that of non-vertebral fractures. Pharmakokinetic(PK)study after a single Teriparatide injection of the daily dose in healthy Japanese postmenopausal women(n=18)revealed very rapid achievement of peak blood level(median of tmax=0.25 hr)followed by fast disappearance from the blood(mean t1/2=0.708 hr, n=17). Consistent with these PK characteristics, a rapid increase in bone formation marker and later increase in bone resorption marker has previously been observed, which was described as a bone anabolic window. More recently, once weekly subcutaneous injection of teriparatide acetate(56.5 μg)has been reported to reduce the risk of new vertebral fractures compared with placebo and has been approved in Japan. PK study after injection of the higher weekly dose in healthy Japanese postmenopausal women(n=10)revealed a relatively slow achievement of the peak blood level(mean tmax=0.875 hr)compared to daily injections, followed by relatively slow disappearance from the blood(mean t1/2=1.295 hr). Consistent with these PK characteristics, an initial(<24 hr)transient decrease of bone formation markers(serum osteocalcin and P1NP)and transient increase of bone resorption markers(serum NTX and urinary CTX)were observed. However, afterword, the bone formation and resorption markers were increased and decreased, respectively, for longer than 1 week from the baseline levels. The relationship of pharmacokinetics, changes of bone turnover markers and BMD/fractures efficacy during daily versus weekly teriparatide treatment needs to be clarified.

Abstract
Vertebral fracture is often seen in osteoporotic patients. Teriparatide is expected to promote bone union. Therefore, we evaluated the action of vertebral collapse prevention by administering teriparatide to vertebral fracture patients. Thirty-four patients with fresh vertebral fracture (48 vertebrae) participated in this study. They were administered either teriparatide (daily 20 µg/day or weekly 56.5 µg/week) or risedronate (17.5 mg/week): ten patients (20 vertebrae) received teriparatide daily (Daily group), 11 patients (15 vertebrae) received teriparatide weekly (Weekly group), and 13 patients (14 vertebrae) received risedronate (RIS group). We compared some laboratory examination items, visual analogue scale (VAS) of low back pain, vertebral collapse rate and local kyphotic angle, and the cleft frequency. In addition, we evaluated 22 vertebral fracture patients (24 vertebrae) who did not take any osteoporotic medicines (Control group). There was no significant difference in any of the scores at the start of treatment. At 8 and 12 weeks after the initial visit, VAS scores in the Daily and Weekly groups were significantly lower than in the RIS group (p < 0.05). At 8 and 12 weeks, the vertebral collapse rate and local kyphotic angle in the Daily group were significantly lower than in the RIS and Control groups (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively), and those in the Weekly group were significantly lower than in the Control group (p < 0.05). The cleft frequency in the Daily group was significantly lower than in the RIS group (p < 0.05). Teriparatide is promising for the prevention of vertebral collapse progression after vertebral fracture.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Daily teriparatide injections have been shown to reduce vertebral and non-vertebral fractures. Here, we demonstrate that the magnitude of fracture risk reduction is independent of baseline fracture probability assessed by FRAX. INTRODUCTION Daily administration of 20 or 40 μg teriparatide has been shown to significantly decrease the risk of vertebral and non-vertebral fracture compared with placebo. The aim of the present study was to evaluate fracture risk assessed at baseline using the FRAX® tool and to determine the efficacy of teriparatide as a function of baseline fracture risk. METHODS One thousand six hundred thirty-seven postmenopausal women in the pivotal phase three trial, randomly assigned to receive placebo (n = 544), teriparatide 20 μg per day (n = 541) or teriparatide 40 μg per day (n = 552), were studied. Baseline clinical risk factors were entered into country-specific FRAX models to compute the 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fractures with or without input of femoral neck BMD. Because there was no difference in effect of 20 and 40 μg teriparatide daily on fracture occurrence, the two active groups were merged. The interaction between probability of a major fracture and treatment efficacy was examined by Poisson regression. RESULTS The 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fractures (with BMD) ranged from 2.2-67.2 %. Treatment with teriparatide was associated with a 37 % decrease in all non-vertebral fractures (95 % CI 10-56 %) and a 56 % decrease in low-energy non-vertebral fractures (95 % CI 24-75 %) compared with placebo. The risk of morphometric vertebral fractures decreased significantly by 66 % (95 % CI 50-77 %). Hazard ratios for the effect of teriparatide on the fracture outcome did not change significantly with increasing fracture probability (p > 0.30). Similar findings were noted for the interaction when BMD was excluded from the FRAX model, or when probability of hip fracture was used as the marker of baseline risk. CONCLUSION We conclude that teriparatide significantly decreases the risk of non-vertebral and morphometric vertebral fractures in women by a similar extent, irrespective of baseline fracture probability.

Abstract
Intermittent repeated administration of teriparatide (TPTD) has potent anabolic effects on bones in vivo. However, TPTD has both anabolic and catabolic effects on osteoblasts in vitro, and the mechanisms underlying its promotion of bone formation are unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the time-dependent changes in bone formation and resorption by examining changes in bone turnover markers and bone tissue over time after TPTD administration with low frequency in ovariectomized rats. The amount of serum osteocalcin, a bone formation marker, was transiently reduced after single TPTD administration, but increased thereafter, remaining increased for several days. In contrast, the amount of excreted urinary C-telopeptide, a bone resorption marker, increased transiently after single TPTD administration, and subsequently returned to control levels on the day after administration. Tissue histomorphometric analyses conducted 8 h after administration showed no changes in bone formation or bone resorption parameters. However, at 48 h, the bone formation parameters OS/BS and Ob.S/BS were increased, while the bone resorption parameter ES/BS was decreased. After repeated TPTD administration for 4 weeks, OS/BS, Ob.S/BS, and MS/BS increased, while Oc.S/BS decreased. Serum osteocalcin at 4 weeks after repeated administration was significantly correlated with OS/BS and Ob.S/BS. These present findings indicate that TPTD has dual, time-dependent effects on bone resorption and bone formation. Immediately after single administration, there was transient promotion of bone resorption and suppression of bone formation. However, sustained stimulation of bone formation occurred thereafter. Furthermore, these data suggest that this sustained bone formation led to anabolic effects with repeated TPTD administration.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Medical intervention is important in the treatment of osteoporosis, and compliance with medical treatment is essential for an optimal outcome. Based on Danish national registers, we found that compliance with parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment is high and associated with marital status, working status, and type of PTH treatment. PURPOSE Compliance and persistence are essential for an optimal outcome during medical treatment of osteoporosis. We aimed to evaluate compliance and persistence with treatment with PTH in daily clinical practice in Danish patients and to describe factors affecting compliance. METHODS Register-based nationwide cohort study on all patients in Denmark initiates PTH or analogue treatment for osteoporosis in 2003-2010 (n = 4281). PTH drugs included were the PTH analogue teriparatide(1-34) and recombinant human PTH (rhPTH(1-84)). Compliance with treatment was calculated by using medication possession ratio (MPR). RESULTS In the study period, 3702 patients were exclusively treated with teriparatide and 579 were exclusively treated with rhPTH(1-84). We found that for patients persistent with therapy for at least 18 months and with MPR >0.8, 83 % of the patients in the teriparatide group were compliant versus 72 % in the recombinant PTH group (p < 0.01). Being married/cohabiting, still in the labor market, and taking teriparatide were significantly associated with higher compliance, whereas age, gender, level of education, income, alcoholism, and Charlson comorbidity index were not associated with compliance. CONCLUSION Compliance with PTH treatment overall is high, with teriparatide compliance higher than rhPTH(1-84), in patients persistent to therapy for 18 months. Compliance is associated with marital status, working status, and type of PTH treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unlike most chronic diseases, osteoporosis treatments are generally limited to a single drug at a fixed dose and frequency. Nonetheless, no approved therapy is able to restore skeletal integrity in most osteoporotic patients and the long-term use of osteoporosis drugs is controversial. Thus, many patients are treated with the sequential use of two or more therapies. The DATA study showed that combined teriparatide and denosumab increased bone mineral density more than either drug alone. Discontinuing teriparatide and denosumab, however, results in rapidly declining bone mineral density. In this DATA-Switch study, we aimed to assess the changes in bone mineral density in postmenopausal osteoporotic women who transitioned between treatments. METHODS This randomised controlled trial (DATA-Switch) is a preplanned extension of the denosumab and teriparatide administration study (DATA), in which 94 postmenopausal osteoporotic women were randomly assigned to receive 24 months of teriparatide (20 mg daily), denosumab (60 mg every 6 months), or both drugs. In DATA-Switch, women originally assigned to teriparatide received denosumab (teriparatide to denosumab group), those originally assigned to denosumab received teriparatide (denosumab to teriparatide group), and those originally assigned to both received an additional 24 months of denosumab alone (combination to denosumab group). Bone mineral density at the spine, hip, and wrist were measured 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months after the drug transitions as were biochemical markers of bone turnover. The primary endpoint was the percent change in posterior-anterior spine bone mineral density over 4 years. Between-group changes were assessed by one-way analysis of variance in our modified intention-to-treat population. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00926380. FINDINGS Between Sept 27, 2011, and Jan 28, 2013, eligible women from the DATA study were enrolled into DATA-Switch. Of 83 potential enrollees from the DATA study, 77 completed at least one post-baseline visit. After 48 months, the primary outcome of mean spine bone mineral density increased by 18·3% (95% CI 14·9-21·8) in 27 women in the teriparatide to denosumab group, 14·0% (10·9-17·2) in 27 women the denosumab to teriparatide group, and 16·0% (14·0-18·0) in 23 women in the combination to denosumab group, although this increase did not differ significantly between groups (for between-group comparisons, p=0·13 for the teriparatide to denosumab group vs the denosumab to teriparatide group, p=0·30 for the teriparatide to denosumab group vs the combination to denosumab group, and p=0·41 for the denosumab to teriparatide group vs the combination to denosumab group). For the bone mineral density secondary outcomes, total hip bone mineral density increased more in the teriparatide to denosumab group (6·6% [95% CI 5·3-7·9]) than in the denosumab to teriparatide group (2·8% [1·3-4·2], p=0·0002), but had the greatest increase in the combination to denosumab group (8·6% [7·1-10·0]; p=0·0446 vs the teriparatide to denosumab group, p<0·0001 vs the denosumab to teriparatide group). Similarly, femoral neck bone mineral density increased more in the teriparatide to denosumab group (8·3% [95% CI 6·1-10·5]) and the combination to denosumab group (9·1% [6·1-12·0]) than in the denosumab to teriparatide group (4·9% [2·2-7·5]; p=0·0447 for teriparatide to denosumab vs denosumab to teriparatide, p=0·0336 for combination to denosumab vs denosumab to teriparatide). Differences between the combination to denosumab group and the teriparatide to denosumab group did not differ significantly (p=0·67). After 48 months, radius bone mineral density was unchanged in the teriparatide to denosumab group (0·0% [95% CI -1·3 to 1·4]), whereas it decreased by -1·8% (-5·0 to 1·3) in the denosumab to teriparatide group, and increased by 2·8% (1·2-4·4) in the combination to denosumab group (p=0·0075 for the teriparatide to denosumab group vs the combination to denosumab group; p=0·0099 for the denosumab to teriparatide group vs the combination to denosumab group). One participant in the denosumab to teriparatide group had nephrolithiasis, classified as being possibly related to treatment. INTERPRETATION In postmenopausal osteoporotic women switching from teriparatide to denosumab, bone mineral density continued to increase, whereas switching from denosumab to teriparatide results in progressive or transient bone loss. These results should be considered when choosing the initial and subsequent management of postmenopausal osteoporotic patients. FUNDING Amgen, Eli Lilly, and National Institutes of Health.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of once-weekly teriparatide as a function of baseline fracture risk. Treatment with once-weekly teriparatide was associated with a statistically significant 79 % decrease in vertebral fractures, and in the cohort as a whole, efficacy was not related to baseline fracture risk. INTRODUCTION Previous studies have suggested that the efficacy of some interventions may be greater in the segment of the population at highest fracture risk as assessed by the FRAX® algorithms. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the antifracture efficacy of weekly teriparatide was dependent on the magnitude of fracture risk. METHODS Baseline fracture probabilities (using FRAX) were computed from the primary data of a phase 3 study (TOWER) of the effects of weekly teriparatide in 542 men and postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. The outcome variable comprised morphometric vertebral fractures. Interactions between fracture probability and efficacy were explored by Poisson regression. RESULTS The 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fractures (without BMD) ranged from 7.2 to 42.2 %. FRAX-based hip fracture probabilities ranged from 0.9 to 29.3 %. Treatment with teriparatide was associated with a 79 % (95 % CI 52-91 %) decrease in vertebral fractures assessed by semiquantitative morphometry. Relative risk reductions for the effect of teriparatide on the fracture outcome did not change significantly across the range of fracture probabilities (p = 0.28). In a subgroup analysis of 346 (64 %) participants who had FRAX probabilities calculated with the inclusion of BMD, there was a small but significant interaction (p = 0.028) between efficacy and baseline fracture probability such that high fracture probabilities were associated with lower efficacy. CONCLUSION Weekly teriparatide significantly decreased the risk of morphometric vertebral fractures in men and postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Overall, the efficacy of teriparatide was not dependent on the level of fracture risk assessed by FRAX in the cohort as a whole.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of fracture nonunion (pseudarthrosis) is often lengthy and debilitating for the patient. There are operative and conservative therapies available. RESEARCH QUESTION Does the systemic use of osteoanabolic acting substances (osteoanabolics) lead to an acceleration of the delayed fracture healing and/or strengthening of the fracture? Which types of pseudarthrosis are suitable for this treatment option? MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature review was carried out focusing on the systemic anabolic therapy options for the treatment of delayed healing of fractures or pseudarthrosis. Additionally, our own case studies are presented. RESULTS Teriparatide and strontium ranelate have a positive effect on the healing of fractures in animal studies and in humans. There are also case studies on the use of both substances in delayed fracture healing or pseudarthrosis. The scientific knowledge regarding teriparatide is significantly more comprehensive. However, prospective randomized trials are lacking so far. CONCLUSION The systemic use of anabolics can be a therapeutic option, especially for biological reactive pseudarthrosis. However, these are off-label treatments and contraindications should be especially well heeded. Because of the numerous positive results, from the point of view of teriparatide treatment, a multicentric, prospective randomized study on the treatment of aseptic pseudarthrosis should be initiated.

Abstract
CONTEXT Intermittent 3-month cyclic administration might optimize the anabolic potential of teriparatide (TPTD). OBJECTIVE To determine whether 3-month cyclical TPTD would produce a similar bone mineral density (BMD) response to daily therapy in treatment naive (Rx-naive) women and to confirm the results in alendronate (ALN)-treated (ALN-Rx) women over 24 months. DESIGN Subjects participated in a randomized open-label study for 2 years. SETTING Osteoporosis clinical research center. PARTICIPANTS A total of 150 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in two cohorts: 86 Rx-naive and 64 ALN-Rx. INTERVENTION 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). MAIN OUTCOMES BMD at 24 months. RESULTS 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). 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 daily vs cyclic groups, radius BMD declined (-4.2 vs -2.1%, respectively; both P < .01; group difference, P = .08) and total bone mineral increased modestly (1.4%, P = .18; vs 1.5%, P = .06; group difference, not significant). In ALN-Rx women, there were no group differences (daily vs cyclic: LS, 7.5 and 6.0%; TH, 3 and 2.5%; Troch, 3.7 and 3.3%; FN, 3 and 1.5%; within groups, P < .003; except cyclic FN, P = .2). In daily and cyclic groups, radius BMD decreased (-0.7% [not significant] and -1.4% [P < .05], respectively), and total bone mineral increased 2.3 and 3% (both P < .001). CONCLUSION Cyclic TPTD over 2 years improves BMD similarly to daily treatment in women who remain on ALN, despite only 50% of the TPTD dose. However, there does not appear to be a BMD advantage to cyclic administration in treatment-naive women for up to 24 months.

Abstract
CONTEXT In postmenopausal osteoporotic women, denosumab fully inhibits teriparatide-induced bone resorption at approved doses. This property of denosumab is distinct from that of alendronate and likely contributes to the efficacy of combination denosumab and teriparatide therapy. Whether denosumab fully inhibits bone resorption when challenged by a higher dose of teriparatide is unknown. OBJECTIVE We aimed to define the comparative ability of denosumab and alendronate to block the acute proresorptive effects of high-dose teriparatide. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this randomized controlled trial, bone resorption (serum C-telopeptide [CTX]) was measured in 25 postmenopausal women prior to and 4 hours after a single 40-μg sc teriparatide injection. Subjects then received either a single injection of denosumab 60 mg or oral alendronate 70 mg weekly for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, serum CTX was again measured before and 4 hours after a teriparatide a 40-μg injection. OUTCOMES The primary outcome was the between-group difference in the teriparatide-induced change in CTX from baseline to week 8. RESULTS At baseline, 40 μg of teriparatide induced similar 4-hour increases in mean CTX in both groups (alendronate 47% ± 14%, denosumab 46% ± 16%). After 8 weeks, teriparatide was still able to stimulate bone resorption in women treated with alendronate (mean CTX increase of 43% ± 29%) but not in women treated with denosumab (-7% ± 11%; P < .001 for between group comparison). CONCLUSIONS Denosumab, but not alendronate, fully inhibits the ability of high-dose teriparatide to increase bone resorption acutely. These results suggest that combining denosumab with a more potent anabolic stimulus may result in greater separation between bone resorption and formation and hence greater increases in bone mass.

Abstract
CONTEXT The preferred treatment for osteoporosis in men is debated, and pairwise meta-analysis cannot obtain hierarchies of these treatments. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to integrate the evidence and provide hierarchies of eight drugs based on their effect on the bone mineral density in the lumbar spine (BMD in LS) and the fracture rate. DATA SOURCES Eligible studies were identified by searching Amed, British Nursing Index, EMBASE, PubMed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Google Scholar, SIGLE, the National Technical Information Service, the National Research Register (UK), and the Current Controlled Trials databases. STUDY SELECTION RCTs or quasi-RCTs reporting at least two drugs (two active drugs or one active drug and a placebo) used to treat osteoporosis in men were selected by two authors. DATA EXTRACTION Two authors independently extracted the data. DATA SYNTHESIS Thirteen studies involving 3647 patients were included. Compared with placebo therapy, zoledronate (SMDs 13.48, 95% credible intervals 11.88-15.08) yielded the most significant effect on increasing the BMD in LS, followed by alendronate (11.04, 9.68-12.41), teriparatide (20mcg) + risedronate (10.98, 8.55-13.48), risedronate (10.33, 8.68-12.01), teriparatide (20mcg) (9.33, 6.87-11.76), strontium ranelate (8.88, 7.51-10.24), ibandronate (5.49, 3.82-7.16), parathyroid hormone (1-84) (4.89, 3.12-6.62) and alfacalcidol (3.42, 1.7-5.2). Placebo therapy had a significantly higher fracture rate in contrast to risedronate (OR 2.51, 95% CrI 1.23-4.24) or zoledronate (2.92, 1.29-5.62) or teriparatide (20mcg) (4.04, 1.36-8.49) or teriparatide (40mcg) (3.5, 1.14-8.34). Zoledronate ranked first for increasing the BMD in LS, and teriparatide (20mg) was ranked first for decreasing the fracture rate. CONCLUSIONS Zoledronate might be the best choice to increase the BMD in LS and teriparatide (20mg) might lead to the lowest fracture rate.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The percent and absolute lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral densities and absolute procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP) increases following a 20-μg/day teriparatide treatment for 12 months were similar in men and women regardless of sex differences. INTRODUCTION Several placebo-controlled studies have measured the effects of daily teriparatide in men and postmenopausal women with osteoporosis but none have directly compared the effects between these groups. We retrospectively compared the effects of daily teriparatide therapy in men and postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and investigated biochemical markers of bone turnover to detect possible sex differences. METHODS Patients (563; 75 men and 488 women) with osteoporosis were retrospectively investigated. All patients were administered with teriparatide at 20 μg/day for 12 months. The primary efficacy measure was changed in lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) bone mineral density (BMD) after 12 months of treatment. The change in serum levels of procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP) and urinary N-telopeptide (uNTX) excretion after 4, 8 and 12 months of treatment were also measured. RESULTS In men, the percent LS BMD significantly increased by 11.3 ± 9.9 % (mean ± standard deviation (SD)) and the FN BMD increased by 0.4 ± 6.4 % without a significant difference at 12 months. In postmenopausal women, the percent LS BMD significantly increased by 9.6 ± 8.1 % and the FN BMD significantly increased by 2.4 ± 7.8 % at 12 months. The percent and absolute BMD increases in LS and FN between men and women were similar. The absolute increases in PINP were similar in both groups at 4, 8 and 12 months. However, the absolute increases in uNTX were significantly lower in men than in women at 8 and 12 months. CONCLUSION Daily teriparatide treatment was as effective in men as in postmenopausal women regardless of sex differences.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The objective of this study was to describe the risk of fragility-related fractures in the 2 years following teriparatide initiation. In an administrative claims analysis of over 11,407 patients, approximately one in eight patients had a new or recurrent fragility-related fracture in the 2 years following teriparatide initiation. INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to describe the risk of fragility-related fractures in the 2 years following the initiation of teriparatide in a real-world setting. METHODS This retrospective study used data from the 2002 to 2011 MarketScan® Commercial and Medicare Supplemental Databases to identify patients 50 years and older with a diagnosis of osteoporosis (ICD-9-CM code 733.0x) who were initiating teriparatide. Patients were required to have continuous medical and pharmacy benefit coverage for the 12 months prior to and 24 months following teriparatide initiation (index event). Teriparatide treatment patterns (persistence and adherence) were described, as was the use of antiresorptive therapy. The primary study outcome was the presence of a new or recurring fragility fracture following the initiation of teriparatide. RESULTS A total of 11,407 patients met the study criteria (mean age = 69.5, standard deviation = 10.6 years; 92.0% female). One in four (25.6%) patients had fragility fracture claims in the year prior to teriparatide initiation, of which 64.0% were on existing antiresorptive therapy. Overall, 13.4% (n = 1527) of patients had a new or recurrent fracture during the 2-year follow-up period. Forty-eight percent of patients on teriparatide treatment were considered persistent; fragility fractures were more common among patients nonpersistent with teriparatide (15.2%) than among those persistent with teriparatide (11.4%). A higher fracture rate (35.7%) was observed in the cohort with previous fragility fracture then those without pre-index fractures (24%). CONCLUSION More than 13.4% of patients had new or recurrent fragility-related fractures during the 2 years following the initiation of teriparatide; these fractures were more in common in patients with pre-existing fractures and the patients who were nonpersistent with teriparatide.

A systematic review on the use of daily subcutaneous administration of teriparatide for treatment of patients with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture in Asia. Osteoporos Int 2015; 26:11-28.

Abstract
This systematic review aimed to examine the evidence for teriparatide in Asia for osteoporosis with a high fracture risk and for exploratory (unapproved) bone-related indications. MEDLINE (1946+), EMBASE (1966+), and ClinicalTrials.gov (2008+) were searched (16 August 2013); all studies of daily subcutaneous teriparatide 20 μg for bone-related conditions from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Republic of Korea, Philippines, Singapore, and Taiwan were included. Evidence on efficacy/safety was retrieved primarily from randomized controlled trials (10 publications) of postmenopausal women from Japan and China. In these studies, teriparatide was well tolerated; subjects had significantly greater increases in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) from baseline compared with placebo, antiresorptive agents, or elcatonin/calcitonin; bone turnover markers increased from baseline and were sustained at elevated levels during teriparatide treatment. Few studies reported fracture risk, pain, or quality of life; one study showed a lower incidence of new-onset vertebral fracture with teriparatide versus antiresorptive agents. Nonrandomized studies (nine publications, one unpublished trial) conducted mainly in Taiwan, Japan, and the Republic of Korea provided supporting data for efficacy. The exploratory (unapproved) use of teriparatide (17 publications) for fracture healing and osteonecrosis of the jaw was described primarily in case reports. The clinical effectiveness of teriparatide for treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who are at high risk of fracture in Asia is focused primarily on improvements in BMD and tolerability. Recommended additional studies may include assessment of fracture risk and the effect of teriparatide on pain, quality of life, and mortality in Asia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This report from the Japan Fracture Observational Study (JFOS) describes the design of the study, baseline characteristics of the patients, and interim results. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This is an interim analysis from an ongoing observational study of male and female patients with osteoporosis initiating daily teriparatide treatment observed at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months. There was no control group. Baseline data were collected on demographic characteristics, medical and osteoporosis history, prior use of medications and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This interim analysis includes preliminary information concerning incidence of clinical fractures, bone mineral density (BMD), procollagen type 1 aminoterminal propeptide (P1NP), back pain, HRQoL, and adverse events. RESULTS Baseline observations were completed for 1810 patients; 90.1% were female. Compared with osteoporotic patients treated with teriparatide in other observational studies, those in JFOS were older but had fewer osteoporosis risk factors. The incidence of clinical fractures was 2.9% at 6 months and 3.7% at 12 months. At 12 months, mean BMD was 8.9% higher at the lumbar spine and 0.8% higher at the total hip compared to baseline. At 6 months, the median serum concentration of P1NP was 187.7% higher than at baseline. At 12 months, back pain scores assessed by visual analog scale (VAS) were lower and HRQoL scores were higher than at baseline. No new safety signals were observed. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report from an observational study of daily teriparatide in Japanese osteoporotic patients at high risk of fractures. Patients in JFOS were older but had fewer osteoporosis risk factors than those treated with teriparatide in other observational studies. The interim analysis suggests that the clinical profile of teriparatide in the real world is similar to that observed in clinical trials and observational studies conducted in Europe and the United States.
