STRUCTURE was a phase 3, open-label study evaluating the effect of romosozumab or TPTD for 12 months in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis transitioning from bisphosphonate therapy (NCT01796301). This study enrolled women with postmenopausal osteoporosis who had taken an oral bisphosphonate for ≥3 years prior to screening and alendronate in the year prior to screening; had a BMD T-score ≤−2.5 at the total hip (TH), lumbar spine (LS), or femoral neck (FN);...

Vertebral fractures (VF) defined by morphometric analysis of spine radiographs are the most common complication of osteoporosis. Those that come to medical attention, with symptoms such as back pain and kyphosis are termed clinical vertebral fractures (CVF) and account for significant morbidity and mortality. Although much progress was made in identifying loci for bone mineral density, the genetic determinants of CVF remain unclear. Here we present the initial results from a g...
