DMAb increases BMD and reduces bone resorption and risk of vertebral, nonvertebral and hip fractures in women with PMO. Transiliac crest bone biopsies in 47 subjects treated with DMAb for 1–3 years showed reduced bone turnover vs 45 Pbo-treated subjects, which reversed on treatment cessation. Since bone turnover reduction is sustained and fracture incidence low over 6 years’ DMAb treatment, we evaluated DMAb’s effects on tissue-level remodelling in the FREEDOM E...

In postmenopausal women previously treated with an oral bisphosphonate and at higher risk of fracture, denosumab significantly increases bone mineral density compared with ibandronate and risedronate

Low bone mineral density (BMD) is an important and modifiable risk factor for fracture in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Denosumab (DMAb) shows a stronger relationship between BMD increases and antifracture efficacy than oral bisphosphonate (BP) therapies. Subjects who remain at higher risk of fracture despite current BP therapy need treatment. In two studies, DMAb significantly increased BMD and decreased bone turnover markers vs a BP (ibandronate (IBN) or risedronat...
