The purpose of the study is to learn if one year of treatment with parathyroid hormone (PTH), either alone or with risedronate, will increase the thickness of the bones in the hip and spine in subjects with osteoporosis from chronic low dose steroid use. During the second year, the study will also look at whether taking risedronate will preserve the bone thickness created by one year of rhPTH 1-34 treatment.

1: Active Comparator
parathyroid hormone (rhPTH 1-34) injections and risedronate placebo tablets for one year
|
Drug: Parathyroid Hormone
This medication comes in a pre packaged 28 day supply pen. Medication is administered once a day by a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) into the thigh or abdomen. For this study, this medication will be taken for one year.

2: Active Comparator
Parathyroid hormone (rhPTH 1-34) injections and risedronate tablets for one year
|
Drug: Risedronate
One 35mg tab of risedronate/placebo taken once a week for one year.

Dr. Nancy Lane and colleagues at the University of California, Davis and University of California, San Francisco will be conducting this 2-year study of human parathyroid hormone (rhPTH 1-34) alone, and rhPTH (1-34) with risedronate compared to risedronate alone in men and women with osteopenia on chronic low dose glucocorticoids (GC). This is an investigator-initiated study funded by Aventis Pharmaceuticals.
The study will be divided into 2 phases. All study subjects will receive supplemental calcium citrate and Vitamin D during the 2-year study. In year one subjects will be randomly assigned to receive PTH (subcutaneously daily) or placebo and risedronate tablets or placebo. In year two, PTH will be stopped and subjects will be re-randomized to receive risedronate tablets or placebo.
Potential study subjects will have dual x-ray absorptiometry measurements (DEXA) of the spine and hip at the screening visit. Those study subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be invited back for a baseline visit. DEXA scans of the spine, hip, and forearm will be done at Baseline visit, 6-month, 12-month, 18-month, and 24-month follow-up visits. DEXA scan of the spine, hip, and forearm takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.
To assess incident vertebral and non-vertebral fractures, lateral thoracic and lumbar spine evaluation using Instant Vertebral Assessment [IVA] will be done at Baseline, 12-month, and 24-month follow-up visits.
