Summary

This is a randomized, controlled, and exploratory study designed to evaluate the chronotherapeutic effects of teriparatide administration in postmenopausal osteoporosis. Twenty-eight participants (age 60-70 years, lumbar spine T-score ≤-3.0) will undergo 1:1 randomization to receive 20 µg/day teriparatide subcutaneously at either 08:00 or 20:00 for 12 weeks. Standardized supplementation with calcium (1,000-1,500 mg/day) and cholecalciferol (800-1,200 IU/day) will be maintained. Primary endpoints are between-group differences in serum CTX and P1NP profiles, quantified at baseline, 4-week interim, and 12-week endpoint. The secondary outcomes will assess safety during the trial.
