: In osteoporosis, poor adherence to bisphosphonate (BP) therapy is common, and is associated with poor outcomes and increased treatment costs (Siris 2006; Recker 2005). Although compliance is improved with monthly vs weekly dosing (Reginster 2008), no evidence suggests cycling through BP agents offers therapeutic benefit, assessed by bone mineral density (BMD). In two randomized, open-label studies in postmenopausal women aged ≥55 years previously treated with, but subo...

Odanacatib (ODN) is an orally-active cathepsin K inhibitor being developed for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. This study evaluated the effects of ODN 50mg once weekly on BMD, bone turnover markers and safety in patients previously treated with alendronate (ALN).This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 24-month study. The primary endpoint was % change from baseline at month 24 of femoral neck (FN) BMD. Postmenopausal women (...

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...
