Teriparatide

Also known as: PTH 1-34, Parathyroid Hormone (1-34), rhPTH(1-34), Forteo, Bonsity

fda approved

Recombinant human parathyroid hormone fragment consisting of the biologically active N-terminal 34 amino acids of endogenous PTH (PTH 1-34). It is a PTH1 receptor (PTH1R) agonist; when administered as a once-daily intermittent injection it preferentially stimulates osteoblast-mediated bone formation, increasing bone mineral density and reducing fracture risk. Teriparatide is FDA-approved (originally as Forteo, approved 2002) for osteoporosis at high fracture risk in postmenopausal women, men, and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, and was the first anabolic (bone-building) osteoporosis therapy. It is one of the few peptides in this directory with full FDA marketing approval.

Biological Augmentation of Reamed Intramedullary Nailing for Aseptic Tibial Shaft Nonunion: An Exploratory Multicenter Retrospective Comparative Cohort Study

Background : Despite stable fixation, aseptic tibial shaft nonunion represents a severe orthopedic complication. Teriparatide and adipose-derived stem-cell augmentation have been proposed as biological supports, but comparative clinical evidence remains limited.

Pre-teriparatide anti-osteoporosis medication therapy and fracture-related hospitalization in patients at very high fracture risk

This study evaluated whether prior anti-osteoporosis medication (AOM) use influences fracture risk in patients at very high fracture risk who subsequently initiated teriparatide. Using a nationwide cohort of 14,770 patients, participants were categorized based on prior AOM exposure.

Postpartum timing of teriparatide initiation and BMD response in pregnancy- and lactation-associated osteoporosis: an observational study

This observational study of teriparatide-treated PLO documents a substantial effect of postpartum treatment timing on BMD response.

Efficacy of once-weekly teriparatide versus alendronate in Chinese postmenopausal osteoporosis: a randomised, open-label, active-controlled, 48-week, multicentre phase III study

Objectives This randomised controlled trial assessed the effectiveness and safety of weekly 56.5 μg teriparatide (SAL056) compared to alendronate in postmenopausal women in China with osteoporosis at high risk of fractures over 48 weeks.
