    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline to 3 Months in Mineralizing Surface (MS) /Bone Surface (BS) in the Cancellous Compartment (CC) of the Iliac Crest Bone Biopsies [Baseline, 3 months post first dose of study drug]

      MS /BS is a measure of the proportion of BS on which new mineralized bone is deposited at the time of DEM or TET labeling, and calculated as the sum of the total extent of double label (DL) plus half the extent of single label (SL) divided by BS. At baseline (18 days prior to randomization / study drug administration), DEM was administered (3 days on, 12 days off, 3 days on). 22 days prior to the biopsy procedure (biopsy obtained 3 months post first dose of study drug), TET was administered (same dosing schedule as DEM). Both DEM and TET temporarily bind to new bone and fluoresce under UV light. New bone in the biopsy was seen as the amount of bone between the 2 fluorescently DEM- or TET-labeled lines under a microscope. A DL indicated active bone formation and a SL or no label (NL) suggested varying degrees of suppression of bone formation.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Samples With Single or Double Tetracycline Labels, SL and DL, or No Tetracycline Labels in the CC, Endocortical Compartment (EC), Intracortical Compartment (IC) and Periosteal Compartment (PC) of the Iliac Crest Bone Biopsies [3 months post first dose of study drug]

    2. Change From Baseline to 3 Months in MS/BS in the Endocortical Compartment (EC), Intracortical Compartment (IC), and Periosteal Compartment (PC) of the Iliac Crest Bone Biopsies [Baseline, 3 months post first dose of study drug]

      MS /BS is a measure of the proportion of BS on which new mineralized bone is deposited at the time of DEM or TET labeling and is calculated as the sum of the total extent of DL plus half the extent of SL divided by BS. At baseline (18 days prior to randomization / study drug administration), DEM was administered (3 days on, 12 days off, 3 days on). 22 days prior to the biopsy procedure (biopsy obtained 3 months post first dose of study drug), TET was administered (same dosing schedule as DEM). Both DEM and TET temporarily bind to new bone and fluoresce under UV light. New bone in the biopsy was seen as the amount of bone between the 2 fluorescently DEM- or TET-labeled lines under a microscope. A DL indicated active bone formation and a SL or NL suggested varying degrees of suppression of bone formation.

    3. MS/BS in the CC, EC, IC and PC of the Iliac Crest Bone Biopsies 3 Months Post First Dose of Study Drug [3 months post first dose of study drug]

      MS /BS is a measure of the proportion of BS on which new mineralized bone is deposited at the time of DEM or TET labeling and is calculated as the sum of the total extent of DL plus half the extent of SL divided by BS.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Change From Baseline to 3 Months in Mineralizing Surface (MS) /Bone Surface (BS) in the Cancellous Compartment (CC) of the Iliac Crest Bone Biopsies
    Description MS /BS is a measure of the proportion of BS on which new mineralized bone is deposited at the time of DEM or TET labeling, and calculated as the sum of the total extent of double label (DL) plus half the extent of single label (SL) divided by BS. At baseline (18 days prior to randomization / study drug administration), DEM was administered (3 days on, 12 days off, 3 days on). 22 days prior to the biopsy procedure (biopsy obtained 3 months post first dose of study drug), TET was administered (same dosing schedule as DEM). Both DEM and TET temporarily bind to new bone and fluoresce under UV light. New bone in the biopsy was seen as the amount of bone between the 2 fluorescently DEM- or TET-labeled lines under a microscope. A DL indicated active bone formation and a SL or no label (NL) suggested varying degrees of suppression of bone formation.
    Time Frame Baseline, 3 months post first dose of study drug
