Retrospective data, Journal: Retrospective Analysis of the Effects of Non-Compliance with Denosumab on Changes in Bone Mineral Density During the COVID-19 Pandemic. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 23, 2021 The difference between LS BMD indicates that there is a statistical difference between subjects who received denosumab injections between 5 and 7 months (near-standard dosing interval) and more than 9 months (P=0.03), but not in FN BMD, and no clinically significant association was identified. The results of this study show that in special clinical situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, clinicians may have some flexibility to prescribe denosumab, but the interval between injections should not exceed 9 months.

Review, Journal: The Treatment Gap in Osteoporosis. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 20, 2021 Recently, romosozumab has been added as well...Knowledge of these could be very helpful in improving compliance and hopefully reducing the gap. In this paper, we summarize recent evidence regarding the efficacy of the various treatment options, potential side effects, and the overall benefit of treatment.

Clinical, Journal: A pragmatic window of opportunity to minimise the risk of MRONJ development in individuals with osteoporosis on Denosumab therapy: a hypothesis. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 18, 2021 Based on the different pharmacological activity of denosumab and nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates, it is likely that the MRONJ risk profile of patients with osteoporosis could somewhat vary. We hypothesize the chance to maximize the pharmacokinetic of denosumab 60 mg (Prolia®) and identify a time interval in which invasive oral treatments can ideally take place without restrictions in patients with metabolic bone fragility, We propose that dental surgery (e.g. tooth extraction) may be safely performed without additional intra or peri-operative procedures in osteoporosis patients using denosumab provided that careful case selection, adequate communication among specialists, planning of a delayed dosing window (1-month deferral) and rigorous postoperative follow-up are granted.

Radiomics analysis of plain radiographs quantifies time-dependent matrix mineralization and trabecular reconstitution that mark positive response of giant cell tumors of bone to denosumab.

Clinical, Journal: Relationship Between Bone Mineral Density and Risk of Vertebral Fractures with Denosumab Treatment in Japanese Postmenopausal Women and Men with Osteoporosis. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 16, 2021 P3 Because there was no relationship between lumbar spine BMD change and T-score at 24 months of denosumab treatment, and because there can be small undetectable vertebral deformities that may increase BMD values, these results suggest that lumbar spine BMD change is not a good surrogate for vertebral fracture risk assessment. It is suggested that both total hip BMD change and T-score can be good surrogates for predicting vertebral fracture risk in Japanese patients with osteoporosis under denosumab treatment.ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00680953.

Nevertheless, more high-quality clinical studies with natural compounds are needed to provide greater evidence of the beneficial and safer antiosteoporotic application for the candidate.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Assessment of Cardiovascular Safety of Anti-Osteoporosis Drugs. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 14, 2021 Denosumab does not appear to be associated with cardiovascular disease and, although parathyroid hormone analogues are associated with palpitations and dizziness, no association with a defined cardiovascular pathology has been demonstrated. Finally, romosozumab has been shown to have a possible cardiovascular signal, and therefore post-market surveillance of this therapy will be vital.

Explain the sequencing of novel therapies and be able to identify patient progression of disease by PSA, imaging and signs and symptoms.Work in team care including urologists, advanced practice providers, oncology nursing, oncology pharmacy, medical oncology and radiation oncology and their support staffs.

Journal: Antiresorptive-Type and Discontinuation-Timing Affect ONJ Burden. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 11, 2021 In contrast, discontinuation of either ZA or OPG-Fc in rats with established ONJ did not lead to ONJ resolution. In conclusion, our findings suggest that antiresorptive discontinuation is dependent on both the type of antiresorptive and the timing of discontinuation.

Journal: "The use of bisphosphonates to treat skeletal complications in solid tumours".

Recognizing the 50th Anniversary of the discovery of bisphosphonates, this review focuses on their continuing value in BM treatment and their future potential, for example in providing a bone-targeting vehicle for cytotoxic drugs.

Review, Journal: Therapeutic targets in myeloma bone disease. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 7, 2021 Current management of MBD includes antiresorptive agents, bisphosphonates and denosumab, that are only partially effective due to their inability to repair the existing lesions...Thus, research into agents that prevent bone destruction and more importantly repair existing lesions by inducing new bone formation, is of the utmost importance. This review discusses the mechanisms regulating the uncoupled bone remodelling in MM, and summarizes current advances in the treatment of MBD.

Review, Journal: Overview of treatment approaches to osteoporosis. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 7, 2021 Anti-resorptive therapies, including bisphosphonates and denosumab, increase bone mineral density (BMD) and reduce the risk of fractures by 20-70%...Treatment failure will often lead to switch of treatment from orally to parentally administrated anti-resorptives treatment or from anti-resorptive to bone-forming or dual-action treatment. Osteoporosis is a chronic condition and therefore needs a long-term management plan with a personalized approach to treatment.

Further, BMD loss depended on denosumab treatment duration, age, prior BP therapy and BMD gain under denosumab therapy, whereas BTM levels were associated with bone loss at the total hip and denosumab treatment duration.
