Abaloparatide is a parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) analog drug in development for treating osteoporosis.[1] Like the related drug teriparatide, and unlike bisphosphonates, it is an anabolic (i.e., bone growing) agent.[2]
A subcutaneous injection formulation of the drug has completed a Phase III trial for osteoporosis.[3] This single study found a decrease in fractures.[4] A transdermal patch is also in development.[2]
