Treatment with sclerostin antibody (Scl-Ab) increases bone formation and strength in animal models. Here, we aimed to i) characterize the longer-term effects of Scl-Ab on bone in cynomolgus monkeys (cynos) and ovariectomized (OVX) rats and ii) test whether follow-up treatment with OPG-Fc would maintain the bone mass gains induced by Scl-Ab in OVX rats. In the cynos study, 3 to 5-year-old male cynos were treated for 6 months with weekly SC injections of vehicle (Veh), 3, 10, or...
