Brief Summary:
This is a three month comparison trial of standard dose parathyroid hormone (PTH) (1-34) and two different doses of Parathyroid Hormone-related Protein (PTHrP) (1-36). The investigators want to to demonstrate that daily subcutaneous injection of PTHrP (1-36) in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis stimulates bone formation to the same or greater degree than PTH (1-34) but with less bone resorption.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Osteoporosis Drug: Parathyroid hormone related protein (1-36) Drug: Parathyroid hormone related protein(1-36) Drug: Parathyroid hormone (1-34) Phase 2

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Procallagen-1 Amino-terminal Peptide (P1NP) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 15, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90 ]
  2. Carboxy-terminal Telopeptides of Collagen-1 (CTX) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 15, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Changes in Bone Mineral Density of the Lumbar Spine. [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
  2. Changes in Bone Mineral Density of the Total Hip. [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
  3. Changes in Bone Mineral Density of the Femoral Neck. [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
  4. Changes in Bone Mineral Density of the Forearm. [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
  5. Changes in Bone Mineral Density of the Distal 1/3 Radius. [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
  6. Total Serum Calcium (mg/dl) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 15, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90 ]
  7. Serum Phosphorous [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 15, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90 ]
  8. 24 Hour Urine Calcium [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
  9. 1,25 Vitamin D [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 15, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90 ]
  10. Fractional Excretion of Calcium [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 15, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90 ]
    (Serum Creatinine X Urine Calcium)/(Serum Calcium X Urine Creatinine)

  11. Tubular Maximum for Phosphorous/Glomerular Filtration Rate (TMP/GFR) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 15, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90 ]

    Fractional tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP) = 1-{(U phos/P phos) x ( P creat/U creat)} if TRP < or = 0.86 then TMP/GFR = TRP x P phos if TRP > 0.86 then TMP/GFR = 0.3 x TRP/{1-(0.8 x TRP)} x P phos

    U= urine, P = plasma
