The FDA granted abaloparatide approval in April 2017 for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture. Results from Phase 3 trial NCT01343004 evaluating abaloparatide has shown a reduced risk of new bone fractures in postmenopausal women receiving abaloparatide injection compared to placebo, with slight benefit over the already approved PTH analogue drug teriparatide [2].
