Skeletal responses to romosozumab after 12 months of denosumab.

ABSTRACT: Romosozumab, a monoclonal anti-sclerostin antibody that has the dual effect of increasing bone formation and decreasing bone resorption, reduces fracture risk within 12 months. In a post hoc, exploratory analysis, we evaluated the effects of romosozumab after 12 months of denosumab in postmenopausal women with low bone mass who had not received previous osteoporosis therapy.

Individuals were randomized to placebo or various romosozumab dosing regimens from baseline to month 24, were re-randomized to 12 months of denosumab or placebo (months 24-36), and then all received romosozumab 210 mg monthly for 12 months (months 36-48).
