Romosozumab Versus Denosumab in GIOP: a 2-year Extension Study

Phase 4

Recruiting

• Conditions: Osteoporosis; Glucocorticoids Toxicity
• Interventions: Drug: Romosozumab; Drug: Denosumab

• Registration Number: NCT06472050
• Lead Sponsor: Tuen Mun Hospital

Brief Summary

The investigators conducted an open-label randomized controlled trial (RCT) in chronic glucocorticoid (GC) users with moderate/high risk of fracture to compare the efficacy and tolerability of romosozumab (ROMO) for 12 months followed by denosumab (DEN) for 12 more months vs DEN for 24 months throughout. Superiority of ROMO/DEN to DEN/DEN in raising the spin...

Detailed Description

The investigators conducted a pilot open-label 24-month randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the efficacy of romosozumab (ROMO) with denosumab (DEN) in moderate/high risk adult patients using long-term GCs (defined as a daily prednisolone dose of ≥5mg/day for ≥12 months). All patients had moderate to high risk of osteoporotic fracture as evidenced by ...
