Review, Journal: The Roadmap of RANKL/RANK Pathway in Cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 16, 2021 Targeting RANKL with the antibody denosumab is part of the standard of care for bone loss diseases, including bone metastases (BM)...RANKL/RANK pathway is also an important immune mediator, with anti-RANKL therapy recently linked to improved response to immunotherapy in melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This review summarizes and discusses the pre-clinical and clinical evidence of the relevance of the RANKL/RANK pathway in cancer biology and therapeutics, focusing on bone metastatic disease, BCa onset and progression, and immune modulation.

Journal: Romosozumab Followed by Antiresorptive Treatment Increases the Probability of Achieving Bone Mineral Density Treatment Goals. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 16, 2021 This review summarizes and discusses the pre-clinical and clinical evidence of the relevance of the RANKL/RANK pathway in cancer biology and therapeutics, focusing on bone metastatic disease, BCa onset and progression, and immune modulation. Here, we compare the probability of achieving a T-score of > -2.5 over 3 years at the total hip (TH) or lumbar spine (LS) in women with osteoporosis, ≥55 years of age, after the following treatment sequences: 1 year romosozumab followed by 2 years denosumab (FRAME and FRAME extension trials), 1 year romosozumab followed by 2 years alendronate, or alendronate-only for 3 years (ARCH trial).

Review, Journal: All bone metastases are not created equal: Revisiting treatment resistance in renal cell carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 10, 2021 Resistance to these antiresportives in RCCBM reflects unique cellular and molecular mechanisms in the bone microenvironment that promote progression via inhibition of the anabolic reparative response. Identification of critical mechanisms underlying RCCBM induced anabolic impairment could provide needed insight into how to improve treatment outcomes for patients with RCCBM, with the goals of minimizing progression that necessitates palliative surgery and improving survival.

Review, Journal: Pharmacological approaches for bone health in persons with spinal cord injury. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 10, 2021 Denosumab has recently been reported to prevent bone loss in persons with acute SCI but should be continued for an as yet indeterminate time because discontinuation will result in rapid bone loss. Several other novel approaches to preserving bone at the time of acute SCI should be tested, as well as approaches to reverse bone loss in individuals with chronic SCI.

Long term osteoporosis treatment and other therapeutic considerations () - Nov 7, 2021 - Abstract #APLAR2021APLAR_319; Reduction of clinical and radiographic vertebral fractures as well as non-vertebral fractures are evident on use of bisphosphonates, denosumab, teriparatide, and abaloparatide, while risk of hip fracture has been shown in bisphosphonates and denosumab...Sequential therapy following an approach agreed upon by both the physician and the patient in order to maximize benefits of anti-osteoporosis medications on bone strength and fracture risk reduction is another important concept. Combination therapy (bone forming and anti-resorptives, anti-resorptives of different mechanism of actions) should be reserved for very rare circumstances.

Clinical, Journal: Denosumab for the treatment of primary pediatric osteoporosis. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 6, 2021 Transient hypercalcemia was probably due to amplification of the effect of growth spurt and puberty on bone remodeling by the transient, short-term discontinuation of the drug. Furthermore, our data suggest that mobilization of calcium from treatment-induced sclerotic transverse lines in bone metaphyses may contribute to the development of hypercalcemia.

Clinical, Journal: Influence of denosumab on bone mineral density in a severe case of pregnancy-associated osteoporosis. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 6, 2021 As the patient had regular menstrual cycles and considered a further pregnancy, denosumab treatment was terminated and soon a second pregnancy occurred. After the second pregnancy, BMD decreased at the lumbar spine, femur neck, and total hip by -8.8%, -6.9%, and -7.0% respectively compared to the maximum values during treatment with denosumab, but was still significantly higher compared to baseline levels with no further fractures.

Review, Journal: Effects of Medical Treatment of Prostate Cancer on Bone Health. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 4, 2021 Bone antiresorptive agents [selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMS), bisphosphonates, and denosumab] increase bone mineral density (BMD) and in some instances reduce fracture risk in PC patients on ADT. Awareness and management of bone health in PC can be improved by integrating endocrinologists into the multidisciplinary PC team.

Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Biomechanical mechanisms of atypical femoral fracture. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 4, 2021 Antiresorptives such as bisphosphonates (BP) and denosumab are commonly used osteoporosis treatments that are effective in preventing osteoporotic fractures by suppressing bone turnover...The review focuses on three major potential mechanical mechanisms of AFF based on the current literature which are (1) macroscale femoral geometry which influences the stress/strain distribution in the femur under loading; (2) bone matrix composition, potentially altered by long-term remodeling suppression by BPs, which directly influences the material properties of bone and its mechanical behavior; and (3) microstructure, potentially altered by long-term remodeling suppression by BPs, which impacts fracture resistance through interaction with crack propagation. In addition, this review presents the critical knowledge gaps in understanding AFF and also discusses approaches to closing the knowledge gap in understanding the underlying mechanisms of AFF.

(Pubmed Central) - Oct 30, 2021 In accordance with current literature, the applied protocol showed a reliable outcome in preventing ARONJ when a tooth extraction is required. In a real-world setting, at a cost per QALY threshold equivalent to gross domestic product per capita in 2020 in Taiwan (USD $30,038), continued treatment with denosumab in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis is cost-effective compared with treatment discontinuation.

Clinical, Review, Journal: BONE METASTASES IN NEUROENDOCRINE TUMORS: MOLECULAR PATHOGENESIS AND IMPLICATIONS IN CLINICAL PRACTICE. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 29, 2021 While it is currently unclear whether or not the earlier recognition of bone involvement by PET/CT imaging techniques employing 68Ga-DOTA-conjugated peptides might improve outcomes through the exploitation of timely treatments, the management of bone-colonizing NETs is today based only on clinical experience from other osteotropic tumors. Here, we summarize the fundamental molecular mechanisms driving bone colonization and revisit both established and novel treatments for patients with bone metastatic NETs.
