She also studied the effect of teriparatide on bone formation in the human femoral neck in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty and performed a series of studies investigating cyclic, combination and sequential regimens of teriparatide and antiresorptive agents. Dr. Cosman has also been a major clinical investigator on multiple studies evaluating the effects of sequential therapy using romosozumab and abaloparatide.
