Extract

The aim of this study is to investigate if 18F-fluoride PET can be used to assess the direct effects of treatment on bone turnover at the hip. The primary objective is to compare changes in bone turnover at the hip measured by 18F-fluoride PET in postmenopausal women treated with teriparatide and untreated controls.


Inclusion criteria

  • Osteopenia Please note this is not a study to investigate the use of the IMP for the treatment of osteopenia but rather to validate a non-invasive imaging technique for measuring early changes in bone in response to therapy
