Teriparatide has been well studied in basic science and clinical studies to conclude its positive effects on building bone mass and preventing fractures in post-menopausal women. This allowed the medication to gain it an FDA indication for treatment in these groups. The investigators seek to explore additional uses for this anabolic agent in an at risk study population that has an imbalance of bone stress and bone formation resulting in a bone stress injury (BSI).\n\nThe only prior study to examine the effect of teriparatide on fracture healing demonstrated an absolute difference in the time to heal a fracture in the treatment groups, but was under powered to detect a difference. Given these positive results members of the research team have used these findings to administer teriparatide at the 20mg dose to young adult NCAA collegiate athletes who have DTSFs and other BSIs. The promising preliminary clinical observations have led the investigators to hypothesize that teriparatide will have a positive effect on bone healing and return to duty among service members with DTSFs.\n\nA powered, prospective, controlled randomized study design will be utilized. Study subjects are to be recruited from the basic training corps at Fort Jackson via convenience sample. Soldiers who experience pain in the mid-shaft of the tibia during basic training will be evaluated and diagnosed according to the standard of care. Based on direct discussions with physical therapists stationed at Fort Jackson this diagnosis is often made by using a combination of bone scan and plain radiographs. After diagnosis, soldiers with a DTSF present to the physical therapy department for treatment and guidance for their progression of activities.",[18],"Stress Fracture of Tibia or Fibula",[],"INTERVENTIONAL","TREATMENT",[23],"PHASE4",{"count":25,"type":26},183,"ESTIMATED",[28,35],{"type":29,"name":30,"description":31,"armGroupLabels":32,"otherNames":33},"DRUG","Teriparatide","Teriparatide, an injectable synthetic parathyroid hormone, will be tested to evaluate its efficacy for decreasing the convalescence after a diaphyseal tibial stress fracture, a specific bone stress injury.",[30],[34],"Forteo",{"type":29,"name":36,"description":37,"armGroupLabels":38,"otherNames":40},"Placebos","Placebo will be a sugar solution of the manufacturer's design.",[39],"Placebo",[39],[42,46,49,52],{"measure":43,"description":44,"timeFrame":45},"Time from diagnosis to full return to activity","Time to full return to activity will be measured in days from diagnosis of a bone stress injury to obtaining a passing Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) score.","3 years",{"measure":47,"description":48,"timeFrame":45},"Evaluation of long-term effects of the administration of teriparatide","The investigators will evaluate the long-term effects of the administration of teriparatide by following the study enrollees for a 1-year period after the completion of the study drug.

Teriparatide is a synthetic (man-made) parathyroid hormone that has been shown to help build bone. Researchers want to see if it can reduce the time it takes for soldiers to return to duty and prevent these fractures from happening again. You might be able to join if you are an active U.S. Army soldier at Fort Jackson with this type of stress fracture, are skeletally mature, willing to inject the medication yourself, and want to continue your military service. The study will compare teriparatide to a placebo (a sugar solution). The main goals are to see how long it takes to return to full activity and to evaluate the long-term effects of teriparatide on recovery and injury recurrence over three years. The current status of this study is unclear.","Participants will be followed for three years to evaluate long-term effects and injury recurrence.",166,"Not specified in the trial record.","Not stated in the trial record.",[30],"v2"]
