Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Post Menopausal Osteoporosis | Drug: Abaloparatide Transdermal (50 mcg) Drug: Abaloparatide Transdermal (100 mcg) Drug: Abaloparatide Transdermal (150 mcg) Drug: Abaloparatide Injection (80 mcg) Drug: Abaloparatide Placebo | Phase 2 |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 250 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Masking: | Triple (Participant, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) |
Masking Description: | Since the abaloparatide injection arm was administered subcutaneously (SC), it was not possible to blind this arm of the study. Therefore, abaloparatide-SC was considered a reference drug, but the centralized BMD assessments and bone marker evaluations remained blinded to all treatment assignments. |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 2 Study of BA058 Administered Via a Coated Transdermal Microarray Delivery System (BA058 Transdermal) in Healthy Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis |
Actual Study Start Date : | September 25, 2012 |
Actual Primary Completion Date : | August 2, 2013 |
Actual Study Completion Date : | August 2, 2013 |

- Number of Participants With Abnormal Physical Examinations at Screening and End of Treatment (6 Months) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 6 Months ]A full physical examination included, at a minimum: general appearance, skin, head/ears/eyes/nose/throat, lungs/chest, breasts, heart, abdomen, lymph nodes, musculoskeletal, extremities, and neurologic. Physical examination results that were considered abnormal were determined by the Investigator. A summary of other non-serious adverse events (AEs) and all serious AEs (SAEs), regardless of causality is located in Reported AE section.
- Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) That Occurred During the Study That Were Associated With Vital Sign Changes [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 7 Months ]Vital sign parameters included respiration rate (breaths/minute), body temperature (°C), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (mmHg), and heart rate (bpm). Number of participants for each TEAE is presented. The same participant may be included in more than one TEAE category. A summary of other non-serious AEs and all serious AEs, regardless of causality is located in Reported AE section.
- Number of Participants With a Clinically Meaningful Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) Test Result [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 7 Months ]The following ECG parameters were recorded: rhythm, heart rate, PR interval, QRS duration and QT/QTc. ECG results that were considered clinically meaningful were to be determined by the Investigator. A summary of other non-serious AEs and all serious AEs, regardless of causality is located in Reported AE section.
- Number of Participants With an Abnormal Clinical Hematology Laboratory Parameter With an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Score of Grade 3 or Grade 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 6 Months ]Hematology laboratory parameters that were evaluated via ECOG Grade 3 and Grade 4 criteria (presented in parentheses) included: white blood cell (Grade 3: 1.0-1.9*10^9/liter [L]; Grade 4 <1.0*10^9/L), platelets (Grade 3: 25.0-49.9*10^9/L; Grade 4: <25.0*10^9/L), haemoglobin (Grade 3: 65.0-79.0 grams [g]/L or 4.0-4.9 mmol/L; Grade 4: <65.0 g/L or <4.0 millimole [mmol]/L), granulocytes/bands (Grade 3: 0.5-0.9*10^9/L; Grade 4: <0.5*10^9/L), lymphocytes (Grade 3: 0.5-0.9*10^9/L; Grade 4: <0.5 *10^9/L), haemorrhage (Grade 3: gross, 3 - 4 units transfusion per episode; Grade 4: massive, > 4 units transfusion per episode).
