Abstract |
Teriparatide [rhPTH(1-34)OH] is a subcutaneously administered bone anabolic drug that increases bone mineral density (BMD) and reduces the risk of osteoporotic fracture. Because rhPTH(1-34)OH is administered by injection, oral delivery is a desirable alternative. However, the peroral delivery of peptides is challenging due to their susceptibility to protease digestion and low permeability through the intestinal layers. The objective of this study was to assess the pharmacokinetics of a PTH analog (rhPTH(1-31)NH2) in a novel oral tablet formulation and to compare them to subcutaneously administered teriparatide in postmenopausal osteoporotic women in a phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical study. |
