Re: Letter of Intent for Clinical Trial Services to be provided by Nordic Bioscience A/S (“NB”) to Radius Health, Inc. (“Radius”)
Dear Bente:
Radius and NB are parties to that certain Clinical Trial Services Agreement dated as of the March 29, 2011 (the “CTS Agreement”) and a certain Work Statement NB-1 under the CTS Agreement. Pursuant to Section 2.1 of the CTS Agreement, we have been negotiating the definitive terms of a certain Work Statement NB-2 under the CTS Agreement for the performance of a “Six Month Phase 2 Study of BA058 Presented as a Coated Transdermal Microarray Delivery System (BA058 sMTS) in the Treatment of Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis” (the “Study”). Work Statement NB-2 provides for payment by Radius to NB of both cash and equity compensation in consideration of the services provided by NB pursuant to such Work Statement NB-2, with the equity portion of such compensation to be made pursuant to an Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Stock Issuance Agreement entered into by the parties as of May 16, 2011. Radius has determined that it is required to take certain actions to comply with its Certificate of Incorporation and applicable securities laws before issuing to NB the equity compensation contemplated by Work Statement NB-2. Compliance with these requirements will cause a delay in the execution and delivery of the Work Statement NB-2 and Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Stock Issuance Agreement.
In order to have NB perform certain work in respect of the Study while Radius undertakes the actions necessary for it to enter into Work Statement NB-2 under the CTS Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Stock Issuance Agreement (collectively, the “Definitive Documents”), Radius wishes to enter into this Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to provide funding for NB’s performance of the work described or referred to herein and in Attachment A1, which work is directed towards the Study. A copy of the Study Protocol is attached as Attachment A2.
1. Radius hereby authorizes NB and NB accepts to commence the following work to facilitate initiation of the Study: (a) assuming the role of legal representative of Radius in all local regulatory interactions; (b) preparing, compiling, translating and submitting the Study regulatory and ethics dossiers to the competent authorities; (c) providing continuing support of submitted documents to ensure their successful and timely approval; (d) identifying and qualifying all proposed Study centers; and (e) prepare any third party vendor qualifications and agreements (collectively, the “Activities”).
[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
2. Radius will pay NB:
(a) €[*] representing [*]% of the EURO cash budget for Work Statement NB-2 and $[*] representing [*]% of the U.S. Dollar cash budget for Work Statement NB-2 within [*] working days after NB accepts this LOI;
(b) €[*] representing [*]% of the EURO cash budget for Work Statement NB-2 and $[*] representing [*]% of the U.S. Dollar cash budget for Work Statement NB-2 during Study subject enrollment; such payments to be made on a calendar monthly basis commencing with the month in which the first subject is enrolled in the Study and ending upon the randomization of the 240th Study subject at the rate of (i) €[*] per randomized Study and (ii) $[*] per randomized Study subject at CCBR sites;
(c) €[*] representing [*]% of the EURO cash budget for Work Statement NB-2 and $[*] representing [*]% of the U.S. Dollar cash budget for Work Statement NB-2 on a calendar monthly basis commencing with the first calendar month after randomization of the last Study subject and continuing for [*] calendar months at the rate of (i) €[*] per month and (ii) $[*] per month; and
(d) €[*] representing [*]% of the EURO cash budget for Work Statement NB-2 and $[*] representing [*]% of the U.S. Dollar cash budget for Work Statement NB-2 on the earlier of (i) the date when the study database for the Study that is the subject of Work Statement NB-2 is locked and transferred to Radius and Radius has accepted the Final Tables Listings and Figures for the Study; or (ii) [*] weeks after the database has been locked and delivered to Radius; provided that Radius shall not be required to accept the Final Tables Listings and Figures if they do not conform to the specifications set forth in the Protocol for Work Statement NB-2 or embody data that is scientifically inconsistent and merit, in Radius’ reasonable opinion, a review of clinical study site records for such clinical study purposes of confirming certain aspects of the underlying clinical study data and results as reported to the clinical study database (each, a “Nonconformity”). If Radius identifies a Nonconformity prior to the expiration of the [*]-week period, Radius shall deliver notice to NB of such Nonconformity specifying the steps that Radius believes are necessary to resolve such Nonconformity and bring the Final Tables Listings and Figures into conformity. Upon receipt of such notice, NB shall take appropriate steps to investigate and resolve the Nonconformity and the [*]-week period shall be extended day-for-day while NB investigates the Nonconformity and either updates the clinical study database and redelivers it to Radius or provides Radius with a report detailing the results of NB’s investigation of the Nonconformity and indicating why the Nonconformity does not require that the clinical study database be updated.
3. The data, results, materials and samples generated by NB in the performance of the Activities and all ideas, inventions and discoveries, whether patentable or not, conceived or reduced to practice by NB as a result of the performance of the Activities, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Radius as provided under Article 6 of the CTS Agreement. NB shall comply with the provisions of Article 6 of the CTS Agreement in the performance of the Activities. Except as provided in this Section 3, the transfer of information or materials hereunder shall not constitute any grant, option, or license under any patent or other rights of the providing party.
[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
4. Each party agrees that it will not without the prior written consent of the other party disclose publicly the terms and conditions of this LOI or the subsequent negotiations between the parties, except to the extent required by law. The parties agree that the provisions of Article 5 of the CTS Agreement shall apply to the transactions contemplated by this LOI.
5. This LOI may be accepted in writing by NB until July 31, 2012 and will terminate if not accepted by 5:00 PM Eastern Standard time on that date. This LOI if entered into will expire on the earlier of (a) the date of execution of the Definitive Agreement or (b) September 30, 2012 (unless extended by mutual agreement of the parties) unless it is sooner terminated (i) by mutual agreement of the parties at any time; or (ii) by either party based on a breach by the other party under this LOI that is not cured within 10 days following notice of such breach; or (iii) by Radius at any time by giving NB at least 10 days’ prior written notice.
6. Upon any expiration or termination of this LOI prior to the payment of the Initial Amount, Radius will pay NB any monies due and owing NB up to the effective date of termination, for Activities actually performed and all authorized expenses actually incurred, as well as for any non-cancellable or non-refundable expenses incurred by NB in the performance of the Activities provided, that under no circumstances will Radius be obligated to make payments in excess of the Initial Payment. Upon any expiration or termination of this LOI under circumstances where the parties do not enter into the Definitive Agreement, NB will refund to Radius any unused portion of the Initial Payment. Upon expiration of this LOI where the parties enter into the Definitive Agreement, the Initial Payment shall be credited against the initial payment(s) owed by Radius to NB under the Definitive Agreement. Termination or expiration of this LOI shall not relieve either party from any obligation accrued hereunder prior to the date of such termination.
7. The parties shall continue good faith negotiations in an effort to reach agreement on the terms and conditions of Work Statement NB-2. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the parties to effect the transactions contemplated by this LOI are subject to: (a) completion of Work Statement NB-2 on terms satisfactory to the parties; and (b) Radius completing the actions necessary for Radius to secure the stockholder approval required for Radius to enter into the Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment covering the equity payment contemplated by Work Statement NB-2 (the “Equity Condition”). Until such time as Work Statement NB-2 and the Amendment to the Stock Issuance Agreement is executed, NB agrees to perform its work in connection with the Activities in accordance with the terms set forth in this LOI and Attachment A1 and subject to such other reasonable instructions and directions as may be given to it by Radius from time to time.
8. Except for the agreements and obligations contained in Sections 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9 hereof, this LOI represents only the parties’ current good faith intention to negotiate and enter into Definitive Documents. It is not, and is not intended to be, a binding agreement between the parties (except as to Sections 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9), and neither party shall have any liability to the other party if such party fails to execute Definitive Documents for any reason (other than liabilities arising under Sections 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9).
[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
9. This LOI shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws (other than the conflicts of laws provisions) of New York. This LOI and the CTS Agreement represent the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Study and supercede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no agreements, understandings, representations or warranties between the parties (and no party has relied on, any agreement, understanding, representations or warranties) other than those set forth or referred to herein. This LOI may not be amended, terminated, waived or rescinded except pursuant to a written agreement duly executed by the parties hereto. This LOI may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. This LOI is not intended to confer upon any person not a party hereto (and their successors and assigns) any rights or remedies hereunder. This LOI shall not be assignable by NB without the prior written consent of Radius, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be void.
10. Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice, report, payment or document to be given by one party to another shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally or mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid (such mailed notice to be effective on the date which is 3 working days after the date of mailing), or sent by nationally recognized overnight courier (such notice sent by courier to be effective 1 working day after it is deposited with such courier), or sent by telefax or email (such notice sent by telefax or email to be effective when sent, if confirmed by certified or registered mail or overnight courier as aforesaid) to the address set forth above or to such other place as a party may designate as to itself by written notice to the other party.
[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
If you agree to the foregoing, please execute both counterparts of this LOI and return one fully executed counterpart to the undersigned. The other counterpart is for your records.

The Cash budget is Euro 3,485,647 and USD 257,853 (USD 4,580,055 with exchange rate 1.24).
The Bonus Equity Payment Amount budget is (USD 7,500,000 — USD 4,580,055) = USD 2,919,945.
The Cash budget will be paid as follows:
· [*]% (Euro [*]) of the Euro cash budget and [*]% (USD [*]) of the USD cash will be paid at signing of this contract.
· [*]% (Euro [*]) of the Euro cash budget will be paid during enrollment at Euro [*] per randomized patient at CCBR sites. [*]% (USD [*]) of the USD cash budget will be paid during enrollment at USD [*] per randomized patient.
· [*]% (Euro [*] ) of the Euro cash budget will be paid on a monthly basis over [*] months starting after patient randomization is completed with Euro [*] per month. [*]% (USD [*]) of the USD cash budget will be paid on a monthly basis over [*] months starting after patient randomization is completed with USD [*] per month.
· [*]% (Euro [*] ) of the Euro cash budget and [*]% of the USD cash budget (USD [*]) will be paid when the database is locked and transferred to and accepted by Radius.
The Equity budget will be paid in concert with the cash payment after the same model as for Work Statement NB-1 under a separate Stock Issuance Agreement modeled on the Amended and Restated Stock Issuance Agreement entered into by the parties as of May 16, 2011..
Pass through costs will be invoiced on a 3-monthly basis.
The pricing specified in this Budget is calculated based upon 222 subjects randomized and completed and is not subject to any adjustment for the drop-out rate. However, the Cash Budget shall be reduced by an amount of Euro [*] per subject and the Bonus Equity Payment Amount shall be reduced by an amount of USD [*] per subject for Clinic Activities not performed at CCBR sites for any patients enrolled in the United States. Otherwise, all pricing will be adjusted on a pro rata fashion to reflect the actual study activities completed by the study subjects.

Re: Clinical Trial No. BA058-05-007 (the “Study”) Risk Allocation
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is delivered to you pursuant to Section 13 of the certain Clinical Trial Agreement dated , 2012 among Center for Clinical and Basic Research A/S (“CCBR”) on behalf of itself and its affiliates CCBR-Ballerup, CCBR-Ålborg, CCBR-Vejle, CCBR-Tallinn, CCBR-Warsaw, CCBR Lodz and CCBR Hong Kong and Nordic Bioscience (“Nordic Bioscience”), representing the interests of Radius Health, Inc. (“Radius”) (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this letter and not defined in this letter are used with the Agreement. The Agreement concerns the performance of the Study in accordance with Radius Protocol No. BA058-05-007 “A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Phase 2 Study of BA058 Administered as a Coated Transdermal Microarray Delivery System (BA058 Transdermal) in Healthy Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis” (the “Protocol”).
[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
1. Subject to Paragraph 3, Radius hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless [CLINICAL STUDY SITE NAME] (“Clinical Study Site”), including its officers and administrators, employees and agents, including the Principal Investigator and his/her co-investigators and assistants in the Study (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all damages, suits, judgments, and liabilities (including expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) arising from or related to any third party claims of injury, illness or adverse side effects to a patient in the Study that are attributable to the Study Drug. The indemnification obligation set forth in this Paragraph 1 shall not apply in the event and to the extent that: (a) such Loss(es) arose as a result of intentional misconduct or negligence by Indemnitees; or (b) the Principal Investigator and those assisting him/her did not adhere to the terms of the Protocol and to Radius’ written instructions relative to the use of Study Drug or failed to employ reasonable care in the conduct of the Study in conformity with the generally accepted standards of the medical community or violated any applicable laws or regulations in any material respect. For purposes of this Paragraph 1, a violation shall be deemed “material” if it adversely affects the safety, health or welfare of Study subjects.
2. In the event a patient participating in the Study suffers an illness or injury which the Principal Investigator and Radius reasonably determine to be an adverse reaction directly associated with the Study Drug, and not due to a reason other than the Study Drug, then subject to the provisions of Paragraph 3, Radius shall pay all necessary and reasonable medical and hospital expenses directly associated with the medical treatment of such adverse reaction which are in excess of that portion covered by the patient’s own insurance or other insurance, or third-party payment programs. In the event diagnostic procedures are required to determine the etiology of the patient’s symptoms, Radius shall pay the reasonable expense of such diagnostic work-up without regard to the final diagnosis, so long as Radius agrees to the need for the diagnostic work-up but Radius shall not be responsible for expenses connected with the subsequent treatment of the patient if the work-up establishes that the patient’s symptomology is not related to the administration of the Study Drug. Payments under this Paragraph 2 shall be in addition to any payments specified in Paragraph 1.
3. To receive the benefit of Paragraph 1 or Paragraph 2, the appropriate personnel at Clinical Study Site must (a) promptly notify Nordic Bioscience and Sponsor in writing of any claim of injury, illness, adverse side effects or adverse reaction to the Study Drug; provided, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve Radius of its obligations under Paragraph 1 or Paragraph 2 except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of Radius; (b) tender to Radius (and its insurer) full authority to defend or settle the claim or suit; provided that no settlement requiring any admission by an Indemnitee or that imposes any obligation on an Indemnitee shall be made without the Indemnitee’s consent; and (c) cooperate fully with Radius in its handling of such claim or suit. A Clinical Study Site’s failure to perform its obligations under this Paragraph 3 shall relieve Radius of its obligations under Paragraphs 1 and 2. [Radius will reimburse Indemnitees for all reasonable expenses incurred at Radius’ request in connection with this Paragraph 3 except to the extent and in the proportion that Indemnitees are responsible under Paragraph 1].

PROTOCOL SYNOPSIS
Title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Phase 2 Study of BA058 Administered via a Coated Transdermal Microarray Delivery System (BA058 Transdermal) in Healthy Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis
Protocol Number: BA058-05-007
Phase: 2
Test Drug: BA058 Transdermal
Study Objectives
The overall objectives of this study are to determine the clinical safety and efficacy of BA058 Transdermal in otherwise healthy postmenopausal women with osteoporosis as assessed by changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and serum markers of bone metabolism when compared to Transdermal Placebo and BA058 Injection (subcutaneous or SC).
The specific objectives are to:
· Determine the effects of six months of treatment with BA058 Transdermal on changes in lumbar spine BMD in otherwise healthy postmenopausal women with osteoporosis when compared to placebo.
· Determine the effects of six months of treatment with BA058 Transdermal on changes in hip and forearm BMD in otherwise healthy postmenopausal women with osteoporosis when compared to placebo.
· Determine the effects of six months of treatment with BA058 Transdermal on serum markers of bone formation and resorption in otherwise healthy postmenopausal women with osteoporosis when compared to placebo.
· Determine the pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of BA058 Transdermal when compared to BA058 Injection (SC).
· Determine the safety and tolerability of six months of dosing with BA058 Transdermal in otherwise healthy postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
· Select a dose level of BA058 Transdermal for further clinical evaluation based upon BA058 Injection (SC) as a reference drug.
Study Population
Inclusion Criteria
Subjects must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible to participate in this study.
· The subject is a healthy ambulatory postmenopausal woman, not older than 85 years of age, with osteoporosis.
[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
· The subject has been postmenopausal for at least 5 years. Postmenopausal status will be established by a history of amenorrhea for at least 5 years or documentation of surgically induced menopause.
· The subject has a BMD T-score < -2.5 at the lumbar spine or hip (femoral neck) by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).(1)
· Subjects may also be included if they have a BMD T-score of < -2.0 and a prior low-trauma forearm, humerus, vertebral, sacral, pelvic, hip, femoral, or tibial fracture within the past 5 years, or who have an additional risk factor such as age 65 to 85, or a strong maternal history of osteoporosis defined as a fracture related to osteoporosis or a diagnosis of osteoporosis.

Study Design and Methodology
Number of Subjects
A total of 240 subjects are planned to be enrolled in the study in up to 15 medical centers.
Design
This study is designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo- controlled, dose-finding study of BA058 Transdermal in four dose presentations (including placebo) for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, using BA058 Injection (SC) at a dose of 80 µg as a reference drug for optimal Transdermal dose selection for future development.
A total of 240 eligible subjects will be randomized equally to receive one of five treatment regimens. BA058 Transdermal at daily doses of 0 µg (Transdermal Placebo), 50 µg, 100 µg and 150 µg with a wear time of five minutes, or BA058 Injection (SC) each administered daily for six months. All study medication will be administered to the periumbilical region.
Treatment with BA058 Transdermal or Transdermal Placebo will remain blinded to all parties throughout the study. Because BA058 Injection (SC) is administered subcutaneously rather than transdermally this treatment arm will not be blinded. However, centralized readers of the dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) results will be blinded to treatment assignment as will the results of bone marker analysis.
The randomization will be managed by an interactive voice/web response system (IVR/IWR). Following training by the site personnel, study medication will be self-administered by the subject daily for a six month period. Subjects unable to self-administer the study medication may be dosed by a third party after appropriate training of that person by the study site personnel.
Subjects who remain eligible for study participation will be randomized on Day 1 to treatment in one of the five treatment regimens shown in Error! Reference source not found., below.

* For the purposes of this study one month is equal to 30 days.
The first self-administration of study medication is to occur at the clinical site under observation. On the days of clinic visits, study medication must be administered in the clinic to accommodate pre- and post-administration procedures. In addition, on days of clinic visits, study personnel will evaluate the application/injection site and patch adhesion (if applicable) using the same scales used by the subject. This information is to be entered into the e-CRF and source documents. Upon the removal of the transdermal patch on the days of clinic visits, the used patch will be carefully replaced into the collar assembly using minimal manipulation and will be frozen (-20ºC) for return to the manufacturer (3M, St. Xxxx MN) for further inspection and analysis (Refer to the study operations manual for detailed instructions). On the days when study

medication is administered in the subject’s home, the subject is to dispose of the used patch in a sharps container and maintain the foil pouch for return to the study center for accountability purposes. Subjects randomized to the BA058 Injection arm should bring their used and unused BA058 Injection cartridges to each clinic visit for accountability purposes.
Procedures and Assessments
Complete details of the study assessments are provided in Section Error! Reference source not found.Error! Reference source not found. and Appendix Error! Reference source not found.Error! Reference source not found.. Appendix Error! Reference source not found. Error! Reference source not found. provides a detailed list of activities for each study visit.
Safety
Safety evaluations include physical examinations, xxxxx xxxxx, 12-lead ECGs, clinical laboratory tests and monitoring and recording of adverse events. Transdermal patch application and subcutaneous injection sites will be graded to assess local tolerance to study medication.
The occurrence of anti-drug antibodies will be assessed at the completion of the study. Serum samples will be drawn on Day 1 and Month 6, and additional samples will be collected at Month 1 and Month 3 and retained for assay as needed in those subjects whose samples are confirmed positive for the presence of anti-BA058 antibodies(2) based on the 6 Month sample. Subjects who test positive will be retested at 6 months and again at 12 months post-study completion under a separate Safety Surveillance protocol.
Pharmacodynamics
BMD will be measured by DXA during Screening (hip [femoral neck] and spine), Day 1 (wrist) and during the Treatment Period at Month 3 and Month 6 (lumbar spine, hip [femoral neck] and wrist).
The bone formation markers N-terminal propeptide of type 1 procollagen (PINP), C-terminal propeptide of type 1 procollagen (PICP), bone specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP) and serum osteocalcin) will be assessed by analysis of blood samples. Serum C-telopeptides of type 1 collagen (CTXI) a marker of bone resorption will also be measured and reported. Bone markers will be assessed at Day 1, Month 1, Month 3 and Month 6.
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Analysis
All subjects (both transdermal and subcutaneous) will have BA058 trough levels drawn prior to dosing on Day 1, Day 8 and Month 3. BA058 peak levels will be drawn at 10 and 20 minutes post dose on Day 1, Day 8 and Month 3.
(2) The samples will be retained on site or shipped to the centralized facility.

If not already taking calcium and vitamin D supplements at the time of screening, each subject will also begin taking Vitamin D and calcium supplements at the start of the Pretreatment Period and will continue throughout the Follow-up Period. Supplements will be provided by the study site.
BA058 is an analog of the first 34 amino acids of human Parathyroid hormone related peptide (hPTHrP[1-34]). BA058 Transdermal (50 µg, 100 µg and 150 µg) and Transdermal Placebo (0µg) will be supplied as individually packaged coated transdermal arrays attached to a self-adhesive backing and mounted in a supportive cylindrical collar for use with the supplied applicator. All transdermal patches are supplied as identical presentations individually packaged for once-daily self-application. BA058 Injection will be supplied as a multi-dose cartridge for use with a pen injector. Further details for BA058 Transdermal, the BA058 Transdermal Placebo and BA058 Injection are provided in Section Error! Reference source not found. Error! Reference source not found..
Endpoints and Data Analysis
Demographics and baseline characteristics of the subject population will be summarized. Treatment groups will be assessed for uniformity at baseline (baseline characteristics, medical history, physical examination, xxxxx xxxxx, ECG and parathyroid hormone [PTH] level).
The efficacy endpoints to be assessed are:
· Change in BMD across 6 months of treatment;
· Changes in levels of PINP, PICP, BSAP, osteocalcin and CTXI across 6 months of treatment.
Safety analyses will include the incidence and severity of adverse events by treatment, dose and cumulative exposure and pathological changes in hematology, chemistry and urinalysis data. Serum calcium and phosphate will be measured 4 hours post-dose at study visits occurring on Day 1, Day 8, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4 and Month 5.
Changes in physical examination, xxxxx xxxxx, ECG and clinical laboratory will be descriptively summarized. Laboratory tests will be classified as low range, normal range, or high range and shift frequencies summarized between the Baseline result and the End of Treatment Visit.

Optimal Dose Selection
Following formal analysis of the efficacy and safety data of the study, the dose(s) to be carried forward into further development of BA058 Transdermal will be determined on the basis of the following considerations:
· Efficacy as assessed by analysis of changes in vertebral BMD
· Efficacy as assessed by analysis of serum anabolic bone markers
· Safety as assessed by serious adverse event frequency or occurrence of other adverse events of concern; including the relative frequency of hypercalcemia
· Overall risk: benefit profile as determined by the integrated assessment of the above safety and efficacy parameters.
