3D-modeling from hip DXA shows improved bone structure with romosozumab followed by denosumab or alendronate.

ABSTRACT: Romosozumab treatment in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis increases bone formation while decreasing bone resorption, resulting in large BMD gains to reduce fracture risk within 1 yr. DXA-based 3D modeling of the hip was used to assess estimated changes in cortical and trabecular bone parameters and map the distribution of 3D changes in bone parameters over time in patients from 2 randomized controlled clinical trials: FRAME (romosozumab vs placebo followed by denosumab) and ARCH (romosozumab vs alendronate followed by alendronate). For each study, data from a subset of ~200 women per treatment group who had TH DXA scans at baseline and months 12 and 24 and had provided consent for future research were analyzed post hoc. 3D-SHAPER software v2.11 (3D-SHAPER Medical) was used to generat
