Improvement in Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis on Switching from Bisphosphonates to Once-Weekly Teriparatide: A Randomized Open-Label Trial

This randomized, open-label, multicenter, parallel study imitating real-world clinical practice assessed the effect of switching to weekly teriparatide in patients with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO) with a lumbar spine/proximal femur bone mineral density (BMD) T-score ≤ −2.0 or ≤−1.0 and...

description This randomized, open-label, multicenter, parallel study imitating real-world clinical practice assessed the effect of switching to weekly teriparatide in patients with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO) with a lumbar spine/proximal femur bone mineral density (BMD) T-score ≤ −2.0 or ≤−1.0 and a fragility fracture. Forty-four patients were randomized. The mean durations of the corticosteroid and bisphosphonate administrations were 90.0 and 51.3 months. The baseline BMD at L1–L4 was 0.828 and 0.826 g/cm<sup>2</sup> in Groups B (bisphosphonate) and T (teriparatide); at the femur (total), these values were 0.689 and 0.661 g/cm<sup>2</sup>. The mean change in BMD was numerically higher with teriparatide vs. bisphosphonate but not statistically significant. The mean percentage changes from baseline in BMD at L1–L4 after a 72-week treatment were 0.5% and 4.1% in Groups B and T. The incidence of new fractures was higher in the patients taking bisphosphonates vs. those receiving once-weekly teriparatide at 72 weeks (18.2% vs. 11.8%) and 144 weeks (22.7% vs. 17.6%). The mean percentage change in femur (trochanter) BMD (0.035 [0.007–0.063]; <i>p</i> = 0.02) was significantly greater with teriparatide vs. bisphosphonates. Adverse events (AEs) were more frequent with teriparatide vs. bisphosphonates. Switching to once-weekly teriparatide tended to increase lumbar spine BMD and reduce the occurrence of new fractures vs. bisphosphonates.
