"Promote" and "which" are used well, but you don't have a complete sentence. "Study" is the subject, and there is no verb for it.

How about this?

This study showed that abaloparatide, a selective PTH1 receptor agonist, stimulated bone formation and improved bone mass in osteopenic OVX cynos relative to Veh controls.
