Effects of 24 months of treatment with romosozumab followed by 12 months of denosumab or placebo in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density: A randomized, double-blind, phase 2, parallel group study
Journal of Bone and Mineral Research May 29, 2018
McClung MR, et al. - Given that over 12 months, romosozumab increased bone formation and decreased bone resorption, resulting in increased bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women with low BMD, the researchers intended to assess 24 months of treatment with romosozumab, discontinuation of romosozumab, alendronate followed by romosozumab, and romosozumab followed by denosumab. They enrolled postmenopausal women aged 55 to 85 years with a lumbar spine (LS), total hip (TH), or femoral neck T-score ≤–2.0 and ≥–3.5. Results of this study suggested that treatment effects of romosozumab were reversible upon discontinuation and further augmented by denosumab.
