Clinical, Journal: Bisphosphonate and denosumab initiation in older adults in Ontario, Canada: a population-based cohort study. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 3, 2020 The clinical characteristics and monitoring of new users of bisphosphonates and denosumab generally align with practice guidelines, product monographs, and drug reimbursement criteria. Given differences between real-world users and RCT participants, there may be a role for safety and effectiveness studies of bisphosphonates and denosumab in routine care.

Importantly, these bioassays have been optimized in a thaw-and-use cell format, which eliminates the need for cell culture and ensures high reproducibility, convenience and transferability. Conclusions In summary, bioluminescent reporter-based bioassays offer significant advantages over primary cell-based bioassays and are valuable tools for the development and manufacturing of novel biologics targeting cytokine and growth factor pathways.

Although very rare, the bone involvement of ATL could be used for the differential diagnosis for local osteolytic bone pain in addition to multiple myeloma and metastatic bone diseases.

Additionally, there are different phase 3 trials ongoing assessing the efficacy and safety of drugs for osteogenesis imperfecta, achondroplasia, and fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (denosumab, vosoritide, palovarotene).Because all these diseases are rare, the number of investigated patients in the trials is small, and the knowledge about rare side effects and long-term outcome is limited. Therefore it is recommended to treat the patients in specialized centers where the effects of the drugs can be evaluated and data about safety, side effects, and efficacy can be collected.Based on the fact that most drugs for rare diseases are highly expensive clear indications for start of a treatment, evaluation of the therapy and recommendations how long a treatment has to be administrated are urgently needed.

Data from this study, conducted in the era of novel anti-myeloma therapies and before the approval of denosumab for use in patients with MM, suggest that although most patients (75%) received bisphosphonates, use of anti-resorptive therapy for prevention of bone complications may be suboptimal in patients with NDMM, irrespective of renal function.
