Yamamoto A, Nagao M, Nishizaki Y, Maeda E, Ishijima M. Risk factors for nonresponse to 2 years of denosumab administration in patients with osteoporosis: A retrospective single-center cohorts study. Health Sci Rep 2024; 7:e1993. [PMID: 38585014 PMCID: PMC10995440 DOI: 10.1002/hsr2.1993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims To investigate the factors associated with changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and the incidence of fractures in osteoporotic patients treated with denosumab. Methods This retrospective study included 162 osteoporotic patients treated with denosumab for 24 months between 2013 and 2019. Patients were divided according to the changes in BMD as nonresponders (NL group: <3% increase in lumbar spine BMD [LBMD], NH group: <0% increase in femoral neck BMD [FNBMD]) or responders (RL group: ≥3% increase in LBMD, RH group: ≥0% increase in FNBMD). Results The respective changes in the LBMD and FNBMD after 24 months of denosumab treatment were 9.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 8.1-10.6) and 3.3% (95% CI: 2.1-4.5). Twenty-eight (17.3%) patients were in the NL group, and 134 (82.7%) were in the RL group. A history of bisphosphonate treatment was a risk factor for being in the NL group (odds ratio [OR]: 3.84, 95% CI: 1.38-10.71, p = 0.007; adjusted OR: 3.21, 95% CI: 1.01-10.19, p = 0.048). Although the NH (n = 48; 30.8%) and RH (n = 108; 69.2%) groups had similar baseline characteristics, the NH group had a significantly higher baseline FNBMD than the RH group (p = 0.003). The change in FNBMD was negatively associated with the FNBMD at baseline (r = -0.34, p < 0.001). No new osteoporotic fractures occurred in either group during follow-up. Conclusion In osteoporotic patients receiving denosumab treatment, a history of bisphosphonate treatment was a risk factor for a lack of increase in LBMD, and a higher FNBMD at baseline was negatively associated with the change in FNBMD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Teriparatide (TPD) is an osteoanabolic agent used in patients with high osteoporotic fracture risk. Predictors of therapeutic response to TPD in real-life setting are not well characterised. This study investigated the influence of previous antiresorptive therapy, age and other patient characteristics on the skeletal response to TPD. METHODS Retrospective study at the metabolic bone clinic, University Hospitals Leuven, Belgium. Patients with osteoporosis and a high fracture burden received TPD for 9-18 months. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured at baseline, 9 and 18 months at lumbar spine (LS), femoral neck (FN) and total hip (TH). RESULTS BMD at LS increased at 9 months (change mean (standard error) 6.8 % (0.7) p < 0.001) and at 18 months (8.0 % (0.9) p < 0.001), while BMD at FN and TH did not change significantly. Non-response in BMD change at the LS was seen with prior denosumab use (odds ratio 0.21, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.049-0.912, p = 0.037). Changes in BMD at TH were significantly greater in younger patients and in patients with a lower baseline BMD. CONCLUSION TPD-induced changes in BMD at TH might depend on age and baseline BMD and at LS on prior denosumab use. The results suggest that these factors may be relevant for clinical decision making when initiating TPD treatment, although larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Romosozumab can increase bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with osteoporosis, but some patients do not respond to it. This study aimed to identify risk factors for being a nonresponder to romosozumab treatment. This retrospective observational study included 92 patients. Romosozumab (210 mg) was subcutaneously administered to the participants every 4 weeks over 12 months. We excluded patients who previously underwent treatment for osteoporosis to assess the impact of romosozumab alone. We evaluated the proportion of patients who did not respond to romosozumab treatment to the lumbar spine and hip with increased BMD. Nonresponders were defined as those with a bone density change of < 3% after 12 months of treatment. We compared demographics and biochemical markers between responders and nonresponders. We found that 11.5% of patients were nonresponders at the lumbar spine, and 56.8% were nonresponders at the hip. A risk factor for nonresponse at the spine was low type I procollagen N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) values at 1 month. The cutoff value for P1NP at month 1 was 50 ng/ml. We found that 11.5% and 56.8% of patients experienced no significant improvement in the lumbar spine and hip BMD, respectively. Clinicians should use nonresponse risk factors to inform decisions about romosozumab treatment for patients with osteoporosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To investigate the factors associated with changes in vertebral bone mineral density during teriparatide treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Single centre, longitudinal study involving 145 osteoporotic postmenopausal women treated with teriparatide. Clinical evaluation, bone mineral density (BMD) measurements assessment and laboratory analyses were performed at baseline then after 12 and 18 months of treatment. Bone non-response to treatment was defined as no significant increase in BMD at 18 months as compared to baseline. RESULTS Of the 145 women initially included, 109 completed the 18-month course of the treatment. 75% of them had a history of prior osteoporotic treatment. Baseline mean age was 60 ± 8 years. Mean baseline vertebral T-score was - 3.7 ± 0.7 and 83 (76%) women had suffered at least one vertebral fracture. At the end of treatment, 18 women (17%) were classified as non-responders. In the responder group (n = 91), vertebral BMD increased by 0.091 ± 0.04 g/cm2 (12.2 ± 5.3%). Clinical characteristics, baseline BMDs and the percentage of women previously treated with bisphosphonates as well as the duration of prior treatment did not significantly differ between the two groups of responders and non-responders. At baseline, non-responders had significant mean lower C-terminal fragment of type 1 collagen (CTX) values than responders (p < 0.01). Only baseline CTX values (r = 0.30 p < 0.01) were independently correlated to vertebral BMD changes during teriparatide treatment. CONCLUSION A minority of treated women had no vertebral densitometric gain after 18 months of teriparatide therapy. Low levels of baseline bone remodeling were the main factor associated with poor response to treatment.

Disruption of the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 gene increases the bone anabolic response to intermittent PTH treatment in an ovariectomized mouse model. Bone 2020; 136:115370. [PMID: 32325250 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2020.115370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2020] [Revised: 04/15/2020] [Accepted: 04/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is the enzyme that oxidizes the acetaldehyde produced by alcohol metabolism. This variant not only affects the response to alcohol but is also associated with several diseases, such as esophageal cancer, myocardial infarction, and particularly osteoporosis. In our previous study, we reported that compared to wild-type (WT) mice, Aldh2 knockout (KO) mice naturally have a strong bone formation ability, and high expression of parathyroid hormone receptor (PTHR1) in osteocytes. The effect of the Aldh2 gene on bone metabolism in response to intermittent PTH treatment is unknown. The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of the Aldh2 gene on the bone anabolic response to intermittent PTH treatment in ovariectomized mice. Female KO and WT mice were ovariectomized at 8 weeks of age. At 14 weeks of age, the KO and WT mice were divided into vehicle-treated (Veh) and PTH-treated (PTH) groups (i.e., the WT-Veh, WT-PTH, KO-Veh and KO-PTH groups). PTH (1-34) and vehicle were subcutaneously administered to each group at a dose of 40 μg/kg body weight (BW) five times per week for 4 weeks. Micro-CT showed that the bone volume (BV), trabecular number (Tb.N), connectivity density (Conn.D), and cortical thickness (Ct.Th) values in the KO-PTH mice were significantly higher than those in the KO-Veh mice. Histomorphometric analysis showed that the BV, Tb.N, and mineral apposition rate (MAR) values in the KO-PTH group were significantly higher than those in the KO-Veh group. The mRNA expression level of PTHR1 in the KO-PTH group was significantly increased and that of p21 in the KO-PTH group was significantly decreased compared with the levels in the KO-Veh group. The expression of PTHR in osteocytes from the KO-PTH group was also significantly increased compared with that in osteocytes from the KO-Veh group. Furthermore, cell cultures revealed that the ALP+CFU-f/total CFU-f percentage was significantly higher in the KO-PTH group than in the KO-Veh group. We concluded that in ovariectomized Aldh2 KO mice, the bone anabolic response to intermittent PTH treatment was significantly enhanced compared to that in WT mice, which may be mediated by the high expression level of PTHR1.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Osteoporosis is a common public health problem that is often undertreated and underdiagnosed. The clinical management of osteoporosis is often reactionary to devastating fracture events. Bone turnover markers may improve the ease and rapidity at which osteoporosis is monitored and treated. Bone turnover markers are biochemical byproducts of bone formation or bone resorption. The clinical use of bone turnover markers is limited by significant preanalytical variability. Effective interpretation of bone turnover markers requires a detailed understanding of the variables that can affect their responses to osteoporosis treatment and monitoring. RECENT FINDINGS Progress is continuously being made on the standardization of bone turnover markers. The literature on the response of bone turnover markers to unique clinical situations is expanding. Data for evidence-based reference intervals for bone turnover markers has increased. Variables that affect the appropriate timing of lab draws like diurnal variation, postprandial status, exercise and alcohol use have been described. Studies examining the expected response of bone turnover markers to treatments of osteoporosis and other medications that affect bone health continue to increase. SUMMARY Bone turnover markers have clinical utility in the comprehensive evaluation of osteoporosis. When interpreted with caution and with a good understanding of their natural variability, bone turnover markers provide information that supplements osteoporosis management and provides useful clinical information about conditions that alter bone turnover.

Abstract
There is no consensus on an optimal treatment after daily teriparatide (TPTD). We performed a prospective, randomized, open-label, 12-month trial to investigate the efficacy of follow-up treatment after daily TPTD treatment for Japanese patients. Three-hundred patients were enrolled in this study. Patients received oral bisphosphonate (BP) including alendronate (ALN; 35 mg/week) and minodoronate (MINO; 50 mg/month), or subcutaneous denosumab (60 mg/6 month). The primary efficacy measure was bone mineral density (BMD) responses in the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN). Lumbar spine BMD increased by 1.3 ± 5.1% in the ALN subgroups, 0.5 ± 4.6% in the MINO subgroups, and 4.3 ± 3.5% in the denosumab subgroups. Femoral neck BMD increased by 0.7 ± 4.6% in the ALN subgroups, 0.2 ± 4.6% in the MINO subgroups, and 1.4 ± 3.4% in the denosumab subgroups. Lumbar spine BMD increases were significantly greater in the denosumab subgroup than the BP subgroups. There were no significant differences in FN BMD increases among the three subgroups. Lumbar spine BMD increases were significantly greater in the denosumab subgroup than the BP subgroups, whereas FN BMD increases were not significant. Denosumab treatment was more effective in increasing BMD and therefore has the potential benefit of fracture prevention. Further research is warranted to determine the optimal treatment after daily TPTD. © 2018 The Authors.

Abstract
Bone turnover markers (BTMs) are useful in clinical practice as they are inexpensive, and they have proven useful for treatment monitoring and identification of poor adherence. BTMs cannot be used in individual patients for identifying accelerated bone loss or an increase in fracture risk or in deciding on the optimal therapy. They are useful for monitoring both anti-resorptive and anabolic treatment. Response can be defined as a result that exceeds an absolute target, or by a change greater than the least significant change; if such a response is not present, then poor compliance or secondary osteoporosis are likely causes. A baseline BTM measurement is not always made; in that case, a value of BTM on anti-resorptive treatment that is low or low normal or above the reference interval for anabolic therapy may be taken to indicate a satisfactory response. We provide an approach to using these bone turnover markers in clinical practice by describing algorithms for anti-resorptive and anabolic therapy and describing the changes we observe in the clinical practice setting.

Abstract
Bone turnover comprises two processes: the removal of old bone (resorption) and the laying down of new bone (formation). N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP) and C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I) are markers of bone formation and resorption, respectively, that are recommended for clinical use. Bone turnover markers can be measured on several occasions in one individual with good precision. However, these markers are subject to several sources of variability, including feeding (resorption decreases) and recent fracture (all markers increase for several months). Bone turnover markers are not used for diagnosis of osteoporosis and do not improve prediction of bone loss or fracture within an individual. In untreated women, very high bone turnover marker concentrations suggest secondary causes of high bone turnover (eg, bone metastases or multiple myeloma). In people with osteoporosis, bone turnover markers might be useful to assess the response to anabolic and antiresorptive therapies, to assess compliance to therapy, or to indicate possible secondary osteoporosis. Much remains to be learnt about how bone turnover markers can be used to monitor the effect of stopping bisphosphonate therapy (eg, to identify a threshold above which restarting therapy should be considered). More studies are needed to investigate the use of bone turnover markers for assessment of the bone safety of new medications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A review of data from large clinical trials reported more than 90% of subjects significantly improved their bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine (LS) with teriparatide (TPTD) (bone 39:1268-1275, 1). However, our clinical experience suggests that many patients may be non-responders, raising questions as to the true efficacy of TPTD in improving BMD in osteoporotic patients. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purpose of the study is to determine the rate of improvement in BMD following 18-24 months of teriparatide (TPTD) in patients with osteoporosis within an orthopedic hospital setting. METHODS This is a retrospective chart review of patients with osteoporosis who completed 18-24 months of TPTD therapy. The primary endpoint was the change in BMD at lumbar spine (LS) and hip-femoral neck (FN) and total hip (TH) following treatment. Secondary endpoints included the effect of prior bisphosphonate therapy, age, body mass index (BMI) and family history of fracture on BMD response, and the changes in bone-specific markers during active treatment. RESULTS Seventy-eight women and men with mean T-scores at the LS = -2.63 met the inclusion criteria. The overall group showed a 10.7% increase in LS-BMD after 24 months of TPTD. Eighty-three percent were considered responders defined as ≥3.0% increase in LS-BMD. Non-responders (16.7%) had mean LS-BMD change = -1.41%. No difference in baseline vitamin D, calcium, creatinine, BMI, age, gender, prior fracture history, or bisphosphonate use was observed between responders and non-responders. No consistent pattern of change in measures of bone markers was noted between responders and non-responders. CONCLUSION Eighty-three percent of patients with osteoporosis showed a >3% increase in BMD after TPTD treatment. Baseline parameters, prior bisphosphonate therapy, and the changes in bone markers showed no correlation with final BMD outcome.

Abstract
Recombinant human parathyroid hormone (PTH) is the key anabolic agent used for preventing fracture in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. In bone metabolism, PTH signaling is mediated through a G protein–coupled receptor that affects various post‐receptor signaling pathways. Results of preclinical and clinical studies have shown that PTH improves both the structure and strength of bone tissue. Once daily subcutaneous injection of the PTH fragment, teriparatide (PTH [1‐34]), is the most commonly recommended formulation and dosing strategy in clinical practice. However, other dosing intervals, formulations, and routes have been investigated in preclinical and clinical studies. In particular, once‐weekly and cyclical administration have been investigated mainly as a means of reducing the high direct costs of treatment. In preclinical studies, bone formation/resorption markers, bone mineral density measurements, and histomorphometric parameters improved with both once‐daily and once‐weekly administration. However, the magnitude and duration of such improvements were generally greater with once‐daily PTH administration. In clinical studies, reductions in fracture incidence were also noted with both once‐daily and once‐weekly PTH administration, although improvements in nonvertebral fractures are less evident with once‐weekly administration. This narrative review details the differences between PTH formulation and dosing strategies in relation to preclinical and clinical efficacy/safety parameters, although it should be stressed that no head‐to‐head studies allow direct comparisons. This review also seeks to outline practical considerations involved with PTH prescribing and new directions in research regarding routes of administration. © 2017 The Authors.

[PMID: 29264514 PMCID: PMC5686584 DOI: 10.1210/js.2017-00049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2017] [Accepted: 04/19/2017] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
We present of a case of severe osteoporosis with thoracic myelopathy secondary to nontraumatic T8 compression fracture managed nonsurgically with 3.5 months of bed rest. Despite treatment with teriparatide starting at initial presentation, 1-year follow-up dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan revealed a significantly greater than expected 19% reduction in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) and a 6% reduction in total hip density. Daily alcohol consumption, severe osteoporosis at baseline, and immobilization secondary to transient myelopathy treated with strict bed rest all likely contributed to unexpected BMD findings.
