Clinical Trial Summary

Phase III, prospective, randomized, parallel, double blind, placebo-controlled study to determine whether Teriparatide can accelerate bone healing in unstable intertrochanteric fracture patients treated with Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) assessed by radiographic and clinical outcomes.


Description:

Patients will undergo screening assessment to determine the eligibility for study participation and will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive Teriparatide 20 μg or placebo subcutaneous once daily for 12 weeks.

All patients will receive supplements of 1000 mg/day of elemental calcium and 20,000 IU/week of vitamin D2.

Patients will be scheduled to clinic visit for radiographic and clinical assessment at 2, 6,12 and 24 weeks postoperatively. Each participant will be in the study for 6 months in total.

11. Concurrent treatment with oral bisphosphonates, selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERMs), calcitonin, estrogen (oral, transdermal, or injection), progestin, estrogen analog, estrogen agonist, estrogen antagonist or tibolone, and active vitamin D3 analogs. (Previous treatment is allowed but must be discontinued at screening)

12. Previous treatment with strontium ranelate for any duration, intravenous bisphophonates within 12 months prior to the screening date, and/or denosumab within 6 months prior to the screening.

13. Previous treatment with teriparatide, PTH or other PTH analogs, or prior participation in any other clinical trial studying teriparatide, PTH or other PTH analogs

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Time to healing assessed by radiographic evidence Fracture is judged to be healed radiographically if bridging callus was evident on 3 of 4 cortices as seen on two views (cortical bridging of three cortices) from randomization, assessed up to 24 months
Secondary Clinical evidence of healing assessed by Harris Hip Score as one of functional outcomes Harris Hip Score (90-100: Excellent, 80-89: Good, 70-79: Fair, <70 poor) from randomization, assessed up to 24 months
Secondary Clinical evidence of healing assessed by weight bearing ability as one of functional outcomes Weight bearing ability (Non weight bearing, Partial weight bearing, Full weight bearing) from randomization, assessed up to 24 months
Secondary Clinical evidence of healing assessed by walking ability as one of functional outcomes Walking ability (Independent walking, Assisted walking, Bedridden) from randomization, assessed up to 24 months
