Criteria
Inclusion Criteria

1. Post-menopausal women and men age ge ≥ 55 years and scheduled to undergo primary TKA
at the University of Wisconsin Total Joint Program.

2. Osteoporosis, i.e., BMD T-score (using female reference data) ≤ -2.5 at the lumbar
spine, femoral neck OR total hip or ≤ -1.1 with Vertebral Fracture Assessment
confirmed vertebral fracture or history of low-trauma nonvertebral fracture in the
past 5 years OR osteopenia, BMD T-score (using female reference data) -1.1 to -2.4 at
the lumbar spine, femoral neck or total hip and no prior low-trauma fracture.

3. Serum calcium (albumin-corrected), serum creatinine and Parathyroid(PTH) values all
within the normal range and 25(OH)D > 10 ng/mL.

4. Willing to supplement with daily calcium and/or vitamin D3 at protocol specified
doses.

5. Able to provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Unevaluable distal femur BMD due to hardware or other artifacts.

2. History of bone disorders (e.g., Paget's disease) other than osteoporosis.

3. History of prior external beam or implant radiation therapy involving the skeleton
other than radioiodine.

4. History of chronic or recurrent renal, hepatic, pulmonary, allergic, cardiovascular,
gastrointestinal, endocrine, central nervous system, hematologic or metabolic
diseases, or immunologic, emotional and/or psychiatric disturbances that, in opinion
of the principal investigator, would compromise study data validity.

5. History of Cushing's disease, growth hormone deficiency or excess, hyperthyroidism,
hypo- or hyperparathyroidism or malabsorptive syndromes within the past year.

6. History of significantly impaired renal function (serum creatinine >2.0 mg/dL. If the
serum creatinine is > 1.5 and ≤ 2.0 mg/dL, the calculated creatinine clearance
(Cockcroft-Gault) must be ≥ 37 mL/min.

7. History of nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis within the past five years.

8. History of cancer in prior 5 years (basal cell or squamous skin cancer is
permissible).

9. History of osteosarcoma at any time.

10. Patients known to be positive for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV-1 or HIV-2.

11. Known hypersensitivity to any of the test materials or related compounds.

12. Prior treatment with PTH- or PTHrP-derived drugs, (ABL, teriparatide or PTH (1-84)).

13. Prior treatment with intravenous bisphosphonates at any time or oral bisphosphonates
within the past three years. Patients who had received a short course of oral
bisphosphonate therapy (3 months or less) may be enrolled as long as the treatment
occurred 6 or more months prior to enrollment.

14. Treatment with fluoride or strontium in the past five years or prior treatment with
bone-acting investigational agents at any time.

15. Treatment with calcitonin the past 6 months or denosumab in the past 18 months.

16. Treatment with anticonvulsants affecting vitamin D metabolism (phenobarbital,
phenytoin, carbamazepine or primidone) or chronic heparin within the prior 6 months.

17. Treatment with anabolic steroids or calcineurin inhibitors (cyclosporin, tacrolimus)

18. Daily treatment with oral, intranasal or inhaled glucocorticoids in the prior 12
months.

19. Exposure to any investigational drug within 12 months.

20. Consumption of > 2 alcoholic drinks per day or use of illegal drugs within 12 months
of screening.

21. Not suitable for study participation due to other reasons at the investigators
discretion.
