SMC021A - Absorption, Efficacy and Tolerance in Patients With Osteoarthritis. A Placebo-Controlled 14-Days Study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to expose patients with OA to calcitonin and to determine plasma calcitonin levels after administration of 0.6 mg and 0.8 mg oral calcitonin. Also the purpose is to assess the effect of different doses of oral calcitonin (0.6 mg and 0.8 mg oral) compared to placebo on serum CTX-I and CTX-II.
