Key Points:
All therapeutic options work differently:
PTH: appears to have direct actions on osteoblast activity, with biochemical and histomorphometric evidence. PTH activates bone remodeling but still appears to favour bone formation over bone resorption. PTH stimulates insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and collagen production and appears to increase osteoblast number by stimulation replication, enhancing osteoblast recruitment and inhibiting apoptosis.
SERMs: are estrogen receptor ligands that act like estrogens in some tissues, but block estrogen in others. Thus, SERMs may exhibit an agonistic or antagonistic biocharacter, depending on the context in which their activity is examined. The majority of estrogen effects on bone resorption are mediated through paracrine factors produced by osteopblasts. These actions include 1) increasing IGF-1 and transforming growth factor and 2) suppressing interleukin, tumour necrosis factor and osteocalcin synthesis. The indirect estrogen actions primarily decrease bone resorption.
BPs: Pharmacologic agents that control osteoclasts either act directly on the osteoclast or on the bone itself and then are taken up into osteoclasts. When osteoclasts begin to resorb bone that is impregnated with BP, the BP released during resorption impairs the ability of the osteoclasts to form the ruffled border.
Denosumab: is a fully human monoclonal antibody with high affinity and specificity for RANKL. When denosumab inhibits the action of RANKL, it reduces the differentiation, activation, and survival of osteoclasts, thereby slowing bone resorption.
Note: Concern that arrow from various osteoporotic treatments only points to osteoblasts may be misleading, and although the mechanism is complex, these compounds ultimately supress bone resorption. Should there be an arrow from treatments to osteoclasts?

Reviewer Memo:
Release Ca++ from bone
Reabsorb Ca++ in kidneys
Synthesis of 1,25 (0H)2 D3
Naturally occurring parathyroid hormone primarily maintains serum calcium levels within a very tight range. A balance in serum calcium levels is achieved by PTH acting on:
Bone: calcium resorption from bone
Vitamin D: hydroxylation of vitamin D; the 1,25 dihydroxy active version of vitamin D assists in the resorption of both calcium and phosphorus from the intestine;
Kidney: PTH acts on the renal tubules to reabsorb filtered calcium, to inhibit the re-absorption of phosphate, and to enhance the synthesis of 1,25 di-hydroxy vitamin D.
Calcium receptors recognize extracellular calcium ions as their principal ligand. The calcium receptor is found on the surface of parathyroid cells, as well as on the calcitonin-secreting C cells of the thyroid, renal tubular cells, bone cells, and some intestinal epithelial cells that are involved in calcium absorption. When serum levels of ionized calcium drop, the calcium receptor (which is coupled to different G proteins) activates or inhibits various intracellular enzymes, with the end result of PTH secretion. High levels of ionized serum calcium suppress PTH secretion.

Reviewer Memo:
The skeletal effects of PTH depend upon the pattern of systemic exposure. Once-daily administration of PTH stimulates new bone formation on trabecular and cortical bone surfaces by preferential stimulation of osteoblastic activity over osteoclastic activity. This effect of PTH leads to a rapid increase in skeletal mass and an increase in bone turnover markers. By increasing new bone formation, PTH improves skeletal microarchitecture, bone mass and bone strength, and thereby reduces the risk of fracture. Numerous factors have been implicated in the bone forming response, but selective down regulation of osteoclast differentiation factor or RANKL and stimulation of osteoprotegerin (OPG) secretion by osteoblasts seems to play a key role.
By contrast, continuous excess of endogenous PTH, as occurs in severe hyperparathyroidism, may be detrimental to the skeleton because bone resorption is stimulated more than bone formation (Hock JM 2001). The continuous infusion of PTH(1-38) in rats resulted in the increased expression of RANKL and decreased expression of both OPG and bone-formation-associated genes such as osteoblast specific transcription factor, osteocalcin, bone sialoprotein, and type I collagen.

Increases BMD5,7

SPEAKER NOTES:
Antiresorptive therapies and anabolic therapies, such as teriparatide, have different effects on bone.
Antiresorptives maintain bone by inhibiting osteoclasts and reducing bone turnover. This leads to an increase in BMD, a reduction in bone perforations, and subsequently a reduction in fracture risk.
Teriparatide is an anabolic therapy that stimulates osteoblasts to build new bone. This leads to an increase in bone volume and BMD and also improves bone microarchitecture.
PRESENTATION TIPS:
This is a critical differentiating factor between teriparatide and most other therapeutic choices for osteoporosis.
Stress to the audience that antiresorptives maintain bone, whereas teriparatide builds new bone, and that this is an important therapeutic difference when approaching a patient who has already experienced a fragility fracture.
Remind the audience of the patient case of hip fracture: in this patient who has experienced an osteoporotic fracture, these are 2 very different treatment approaches  maintain current bone strength or build new bone.
This concept is important to keep in mind when going through the data supporting the use of teriparatide.

13. Teriparatide builds new bone
Treatment with teriparatide resulted in increased cortical thickness, trabecular bone volume, and connectivity, as well as the conversion of rods to plates.
SPEAKER NOTES:
The images are 3-D microCT reconstructions of paired iliac crest bone biopsies from a 65-year-old woman treated with 20 μg teriparatide.
A change toward more plate-like morphology and an increase in cortical thickness were observed. The median increase in connectivity density (teriparatide, 19%; placebo, 14%), and median increase in cortical thickness (teriparatide, 22%; placebo, 3%) were found to be significant (P < .05) after teriparatide treatment.
PRESENTATION TIPS:
This is an opportunity to build consensus within the audience around the unique mechanism of action of teriparatide: teriparatide is the only therapeutic option for building new bone.

SPEAKER NOTES:
Teriparatide treatment for 24 months increases cortical bone thickness at sites of compressive stress during locomotion, near key muscle attachments, and in the superior cortex, considered critical for hip fracture susceptibility.
Sixty-nine women with severe osteoporosis from the European Study of Forsteo (EUROFORS) Trial were treated with teriparatide for 24 months, with quantitative CT scans at baseline and 24 months. All data from this cohort were analysed, with the exception of those femurs compromised by metalwork and those where one or both of the CT scans did not extend as far as the lesser trochanter. This yielded 119 femurs from 65 women.
These figures are cortical thickness maps showing severe osteoporosis and the subsequent increase in thickness following teriparatide treatment.
These are medial, superior, and posterior views of the average pre-treatment cortical thickness map in advanced osteoporosis showing remnants of thicker, highly loaded bone (blue/green) at (A) the inferomedial cortex and (B) the calcar femorale regions.
Elsewhere, there is thin, submillimetre cortex (pink/red) at key fracture sites including (C) the subcapital superior neck region.
Also labelled are the insertion sites of key muscles of locomotion: (D) gluteus medius; (E) psoas major; and (F) quadratus femoris (on the inter-trochanteric crest).
The bottom figures are post-treatment percentage changes, which together indicate regeneration of bone at A, B, C, D, E, and F.
PRESENTATION TIP:
Teriparatide has positive effects not only on trabecular bone, but also on cortical bone. This graphic illustrates those effects in a subset of women from the EUROFORS trial.

SPEAKER NOTES:
These are 6-month versus 18-month bone biopsy data from the FACT trial.
The Forsteo-Alendronate Comparator Trial (FACT) was a randomised, double-blind, active-comparator study comparing once-daily doses of 20 μg of teriparatide and 10 mg of oral alendronate in 203 postmenopausal women.
The trial was composed of a 2-month screening phase and an 18-month treatment phase. A total of 641 postmenopausal women aged 45 to 84 years were screened. Of these, 203 patients were randomised to treatment.
Patients received daily supplementation of both calcium (1000 mg) and vitamin D ( IU) throughout the study.
Percentage change from baseline in areal and volumetric BMD at the lumbar spine and total hip, as well as markers of bone turnover, were the study end points.
PRESENTATION TIPS:
Dim the lights to view this slide.
Stress the differences observed in new bone after teriparatide therapy (anabolic agent) versus alendronate therapy (antiresorptive agent).

P < .001 vs placebo at each time point
SPEAKER NOTES:
This is lumbar spine BMD data from the FPT.
In the FPT, teriparatide 20 µg/d increased lumbar spine BMD significantly compared with placebo.
Lumbar spine BMD increased significantly (P < .001) with teriparatide treatment at each visit where it was assessed, including at the first visit after 3 months.
At study end point, the percent change in lumbar spine BMD was 9.7% in the teriparatide group versus 1.1% in the placebo group (P < .001).
PRESENTATION TIPS:
Key takeaway from this slide is not only the significant increase in BMD versus placebo, but also the rapid increase observed.
Increases in lumbar spine BMD were significantly greater with teriparatide at every time point, including the first time point of 3 months.

19. Teriparatide Reduces the risk of Moderate/Severe Vertebral Fractures
ARR = 8.5% RRR = 90% P ≤ .001 vs placebo
SPEAKER NOTES:
The phase 3 registration trial for teriparatide in both the US and EU was the Fracture Prevention Trial (FPT). The objective of this trial was to assess teriparatide treatment in patients with moderate to severe osteoporosis.
1637 postmenopausal women from 99 centres in 17 countries who had a prior vertebral fracture were enrolled and assigned to either placebo, 20 g teriparatide, or 40 g teriparatide.
Patients self-administered teriparatide (or placebo) by daily subcutaneous injection and supplemented this by taking both calcium and vitamin D throughout the trial.
Occurrence of new vertebral or nonvertebral fracture was a primary end point.
The other primary end points were changes to baseline BMD at 3, 6, 12, and 18 months, and the end of the study. BMD was measured in the lumbar spine, proximal femur, radius, and total body bone mineral.
This graph shows how teriparatide 20 μg given once daily to postmenopausal women with osteoporosis for a median duration of 21 months reduced the risk of at least 1 moderate or severe vertebral fracture by 90%.
PRESENTATION TIPS:
Stress the importance of such a significant relative risk reduction for devastating moderate to severe vertebral fractures.
This slide is a great opportunity for surprise building to relevance: the magnitude of the 90% RRR for moderate to severe fractures.

20. Teriparatide Reduces the risk of Nonvertebral Fragility Fractures
ARR = 2.9% RRR = 53% P ≤ .05 vs placebo
SPEAKER NOTES:
In the FPT, the incidence of 1 or more new nonvertebral fractures (hip, radius, ankle, humerus, rib, foot, pelvis, and other sites) was a secondary end point.
Nonvertebral fractures were classified as “fragility fractures” if, as determined by the local investigator, the associated trauma would not have resulted in the fracture of a normal bone (eg, falling from a standing height).
The relative risk of ≥2 new nonvertebral fragility fractures was reduced in the teriparatide-treated 20-µg group by 53% compared with placebo.

Post-menopausal women with osteoporosis and prevalent vertebral fracture were randomized to placebo (N=544), teriparatide 20 g (N=541) or teriparatide 40 g (N=552) once daily by subcutaneous injection for a median of 19 months (max 2 years). Rates of patients sustaining fracture diverged throughout the trial. In a Cox regression model treating time on therapy as a continuous time-dependent covariate, the hazard ratio (95% CI) for the combined teriparatide groups versus placebo decreased proportionally 9.1% (p=0.002) for each additional month of therapy, i.e., ( ). There is added clinical benefit with increased duration of teriparatide therapy throughout the 2 years studied in this trial.

In the fracture prevention trial, the overall treatment group difference in adverse events was not statistically significant at the 0.05 level (P=0.098). There was a statistically significant reduction (P=0.047) in the overall incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events in the teriparatide TPTD20/day treatment group, compared with placebo.
There were no statistically significant differences or trends among treatment groups in the incidence of dizziness. Dizziness was the most commonly reported adverse event in the nervous system, with 33 (6.1%) patients in the placebo group, 50 (9.2%) patients in the TPTD20 group, and 44 (8.0%) patients in the TPTD40 group reporting dizziness (P=0.144).
The frequencies of nausea and headache in the TPTD20 group were similar to placebo, 3% reported leg cramps. Participants reported significantly more nausea and headache in the TPTD40 group than in placebo (P<0.001). Incidences of leg cramps in the TPTD40 group were similar to placebo.
One hundred twenty-six (7.7%) patients discontinued the study due to adverse events: 32 (5.9% of 544) in the placebo group, 35 (6.5% of 541) in the teriparatide TPTD20 treatment group, and 59 (10.7% of 552) in the teriparatide TPTD40 treatment group.

32. Combination therapy of Teriparatide with the other drug
Up to Date

34. Conclusion:
Our findings indicated that the addition of alendronate to PTH in the treatment of osteoporosis, reduced the ability of PTH therapy to increase the BMD at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip.

37. It supports the hypothesis that increased remodeling by TPTD increases Ct.Th and trabecular BMD by new bone deposits, which is associated with an increased porosity as reflected by the decreased CBMD.

40. The results of this study demonstrate that 12 months of combined denosumab and teriparatide therapy improves peripheral cortical and total bone density, cortical micro-architecture, and estimated bone strength more than either drug alone.
Although superior efficacy is noted at both the tibia and the radius in the combination group, the advantage of the combined treatment is numerically greater at the tibia than at the radius.

43. In summary, we have shown that 24 months of combined denosumab and teriparatide therapy increases BMD at the spine, hip, and femoral neck more than either drug alone and more than any currently available agent.
Although a larger study would be needed to definitively demonstrate a fracture-reduction benefit.

44. Take home message
Teriparatide is an anabolic therapy that builds new bone.
Improves cancellous microarchitecture
Increases cortical thickness and improves cortical bone geometry
Teriparatide significantly reduces the risk of subsequent vertebral and nonvertebral fragility fractures in patients with osteoporosis:
65% RRR vs placebo for new vertebral fractures
90% RRR vs placebo for moderate/severe vertebral fractures
53% RRR vs placebo for all nonvertebral fragility fractures
Teriparatide improves lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD

45. Drug combination
PTH with SERM -> some paper support
PTH with oral BPs -> not recommend (No synergistic)
PTH with IV BPs -> early benefit primarily (6 mth)
PTH with Denosumab -> studies ongoing (Benefit)
After PTH months -> Must use antiresoptive drug
