<h3>Background</h3> Early gains in total hip BMD are desirable to improve hip strength early in the treatment of osteoporosis. <h3>Objectives</h3> To determine if women treated with 18-months of abaloparatide (ABL) were more likely to increase BMD than those treated with either TPTD or placebo (PBO), we performed a responder analysis comparing the percentage of subjects experiencing BMD gains of &gt;3% at all three anatomic sites (total hip (TH), femoral neck (FN), lumbar spine (LS)). <h3>Methods</h3> In an 18 month phase 3 study of postmenopausal women aged 50-85 with a T-score ≤-2.5 at the spine or hip with either a prior vertebral or non-vertebral fracture, subjects were randomized to receive the PTHrP analog, ABL (80-μg SC daily), TPTD (20-μg SC daily), or placebo. All subjects were also treated with calcium and vitamin D supplementation per local practice. Treatment comparisons were performed using a 2-sided Chi-square test. <h3>Results</h3> 18-months of treatment with ABL (N=824) resulted in significantly greater increases in BMD relative to placebo (N=821) at 6, 12 and 18 months at TH, FN and LS. There were also significantly greater increases in BMD with ABL relative to TPTD (N=818) at TH and FN at 6, 12 and 18 months and at LS at 6 and 12 months. Overall, a significantly higher percentage of patients experienced &gt;3% BMD gain in the ABL group (54%) compared to the PBO group (3.38%, p&lt;0.0001) and the TPTD group (39.7%, p&lt;0.0001) at TH, FN and LS combined. The percentage of subjects with increases in BMD with TPTD was also significantly higher relative to PBO, p&lt;0.0001. <h3>Conclusions</h3> In postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, more subjects treated with ABL experienced BMD increases at all 3 sites compared to those treated with TPTD or PBO. <h3>Disclosure of Interest</h3> P.
