Journal: Monoclonal antibody anti-sclerostin for treatment of pelvic insufficiency fractures in adult hypophosphatasia: A case report. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 2, 2024 It not only helped increase bone density, but also help in the healing process of delayed-union and nonunion insufficiency fractures of the pelvis and prevented the occurrence of new fractures during the treatment period. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing the potential effect of Romosozumab on insufficiency fractures in patients with hypophosphatasia.

Review, Journal: The Relationship between Sclerostin and Kidney Transplantation Mineral Bone Disorders: A Molecule of Controversies. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 30, 2024 In this narrative review, we have summarized the studies investigating the change of sclerostin before and after kidney transplantation, the relationship between sclerostin and laboratory parameters, bone metabolism and vascular calcification in the context of kidney transplantation. We also pointed out the uncertainties, explained the causes of divergent findings and suggest further potential study topics regarding sclerostin in kidney transplantation.

Review, Journal: Impact of osteoporosis and osteoporosis medications on fracture healing: a narrative review. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 28, 2024 It is imperative that new radiological and biological markers of fracture healing be identified. It is also important to synthesize clinical and basic science methodologies to assess fracture healing, so that a convergence of the two frameworks can be achieved.

Clinical, Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Efficacy and Safety of Anti-Osteoporotic Agents Across CKD Stages: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 26, 2024 However, this benefit is not apparent in stages 4 and 5, necessitating further research. Despite the absence of reported side effects in CKD patients, clinicians should carefully assess the suitability of these medications, considering individual risks and benefits.

Retrospective data, Journal: Romosozumab Followed by Denosumab Versus Denosumab Only: A Post Hoc Analysis of FRAME and FRAME Extension. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 23, 2024 Similar BMD and fracture outcomes were observed with PSW-MI and PSM sensitivity analyses. The sequence of Romo/DMAb resulted in greater BMD gains and higher probability of achieving T-scores > -2.5, significantly reduced new vertebral fracture incidence, and numerically lowered the incidence (not significant) of clinical, nonvertebral, and hip fractures versus DMAb only through 24

FDA event, Journal: AI-based 3D-QSAR model of FDA-approved repurposed drugs for inhibiting sclerostin. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 20, 2024 The Wnt pathway antagonist sclerostin and additional anti-sclerostin antibodies were discovered as a result of the development of the monoclonal antibody romosozumab...The test set demonstrated the model's robustness. This research may aid in the development of more effective sclerostin inhibitors that are synthesised using FDA-approved medications.

Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Utility of a bone health clinic in bridging the osteoporosis care gap: Prescribing habit review at an academic institution. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 18, 2024 Etidronate administration may be effective, as with heterotopic ossification. Establishing a bone health clinic dedicated to osteoporosis management leads to significantly higher prescription rates per provider, increased utilization of anabolic therapies compared to other specialties, and more male patients being treated-an often-neglected population in osteoporosis.

Review, Journal: Wnt signaling pathway and sclerostin in the development of atherosclerosis and vascular calcification. (Pubmed Central) - May 24, 2024 However, in humans, while the antisclerostin antibody romosozumab inhibits bone resorption, biochemical parameters of endothelial activation and inflammation are not affected, and the incidence of aneurysms is not increased...Moreover, an increased number of vascular cells converted to osteogenic phenotypes results in increased plasma sclerostin concentrations. Therefore, plasma sclerostin derived from bone limits its importance as a global marker of vascular calcification.
