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...
