What this trial studies

This study evaluates the TeriQ Patch in healthy adult females by comparing it with two established treatments, Teribone Injection and Forteo Injection. It is designed as a single center, open-label, active-controlled, 3-way crossover study involving 24 participants. Each participant will receive two different doses of the TeriQ Patch and one of the control injections over three separate periods, with a washout period in between. The primary focus is on assessing the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the TeriQ Patch.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are healthy adult females aged 18 to 60 years with a BMI between 18.0 and 32.0.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, lactating, or have significant health issues may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to a new, non-invasive treatment option for osteoporosis.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is novel in the context of the TeriQ Patch, similar studies have shown success with other osteoporosis treatments.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Healthy adult females aged 18 to 60 years (inclusive) at the time of Screening.
2. Those who weigh ≥ 45 kg and have a calculated BMI of 18.0 to 32.0 kg/meter square
3. Females must be non-pregnant and non-lactating and must use an acceptable, highly effective method of contraception (as defined below) in the case of heterosexual intercourse. Participants in an exclusive same-sex relationship are not required to adhere to contraceptive requirements. (However, they must not attempt pregnancy with donor eggs/sperm):

   * For the female, established hormonal contraception (oral contraceptive pills \[OCPs\], long-acting implantable hormones, injectable hormones, hormonal intrauterine system (IUS), or the vaginal ring) with the use of a condom for the male partner from 30 days prior to dosing and for at least 90 days after the last IP administration.
   * For the female, an intrauterine device (IUD) placed 30 days prior to first dosing and for at least 90 days after the last IP administration, with the use of a condom for the male partner.
   * For the female, surgical sterilization (with documented evidence or verbal confirmation) at least 6 months prior to Screening (eg, bilateral tubal occlusion, complete hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy, tubal ligation).
   * For the male partner, a vasectomy at least 90 days prior to enrollment (with appropriate post vasectomy documentation or verbal confirmation of the absence of sperm in semen), provided the male partner is a sole partner.
   * Women not of childbearing potential must be postmenopausal for ≥ 12 months. Postmenopausal status may be confirmed through testing of FSH levels ≥ 40 IU/L at Screening for amenorrheic female subjects, at the discretion of the Investigator, or subject considered to be of childbearing potential.
   * Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and Day -1 and be willing to have additional pregnancy tests as required throughout the study.
   * For the female, total abstinence from heterosexual intercourse, if this is their usual practice, for 30 days prior and for 90 days after the last study treatment is acceptable. Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable forms of contraception.
4. Those who have received and fully understand a detailed explanation of this study, voluntarily decide to participate, and agree in writing to comply with the precautions.

     3. Corrected Ca: Measured Calcium \[(measured Albumin- 41) \*0.02\]
   * Individuals with a calculated creatinine clearance of 80mL/min or less
   * Those whose creatinine clearance calculated with the Cockcroft-Gault formula is 80 mL/min or less
   * (Creatinine Clearance = (((1.23 x weight x (140 - age))/creatinine) x 0.85) \[if female\],
   * QTcF \> 470 msec,
   * Increase of alkaline phosphatase (\> 1.5 x ULN),
   * PTH \> 2.65pmol/L with abnormal high corrected Ca (as defined above).
6. Subjects whose blood pressure measured at the Screening visit or at pre dose falls under the range below or subjects with orthostatic hypotension (ie, drop of 20 mmHg systolic or 10 mmHg diastolic blood pressure):
