Male osteoporosis is increasingly recognized as a major public health issue. This multinational, 2‐yr, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled study was conducted to determine the efficacy and safety of 35 mg once‐a‐week risedronate in men with osteoporosis. Patients had to be men ≥30 yr old, with lumbar spine T‐score ≤ ?2.5 and femoral neck T‐score ≤ ?1 SD or lumbar spine T‐score ≤ ?1 and femoral neck T‐score ≤ ?2 SD (based on young normal men). Patients were randomized 2:1 to risedronate 35 mg once a week or placebo for 2 yr; all patients took 1000 mg elemental calcium and 400–500 IU vitamin D daily. Lumbar spine BMD at month 24 using last observation carried forward was the primary endpoint. Other endpoints included lumbar spine BMD at time points other than month 24, proximal femur BMD, bone turnover markers (BTMs), new vertebral fractures, clinical fractures, and adverse event (AE) assessment. There were 284 men enrolled in the study. Treatment with risedronate resulted in a significant increase from baseline to endpoint in lumbar spine BMD compared with placebo (4.5%; 95% CI: 3.5%, 5.6%; p < 0.001). Few new vertebral and nonvertebral fractures were reported, with no differences in fracture rates between the two groups. There was a significant (p < 0.01) reduction from baseline in BTMs for the risedronate group compared with placebo at all time points. No apparent differences in the pattern or distribution of AEs including serious and upper gastrointestinal AEs were observed. Risedronate therapy was well tolerated during this 2‐yr study and was rapidly effective as indicated by significant BTM decreases at month 3 and BMD increases at month 6 (the earliest time points tested). The effects of risedronate treatment on BMD and BTMs in this study were similar to those previously shown to be associated with fracture risk reductions in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.  相似文献

Alendronate for the Treatment of Osteoporosis in Men   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The incidence of osteoporotic fracture in males is approximately one-third of that observed in women, but information on specific therapies is almost exclusively limited to bisphosphonate alendronate. The most important study with this compound included 241 men, randomized to receive either alendronate 10 mg/day or placebo. In another study 134 men were given either 10 mg alendronate or alfacalcidiol 1 microg/day. After 24 months, the treatment with alendronate bone mineral density (BMD) significantly increased in both studies by 7-10% at the lumbar spine and by 2.5-5.2% at the femoral neck. These changes were associated with decreases in vertebral fracture rate and in stature loss, both statistically significant when the data of the two trials were meta-analysed. The BMD changes after alendronate therapy were comparable to those observed in postmenopausal osteoporosis. This was confirmed in a trial specifically designed to compare alendronate efficacy in men and postmenopausal women with either primary or secondary osteoporosis. Gender-comparative efficacy data can also be inferred from clinical trials in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis of alendronate, risedronate, and etidronate, carried out in both women and men. By combining the results of all these trials, bisphosphonate efficacy in terms of both BMD changes and fracture incidence appears to be moderate in premenopausal women but quite obvious and comparable in males and postmenopausal women.  相似文献

A 2-year, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in men with osteoporosis demonstrated that treatment with risedronate 35mg once a week significantly decreased bone turnover markers (BTMs) and increased bone mineral density (BMD). This study was extended to include a 2-year, open-label extension to continue to assess the safety and efficacy of risedronate in men with osteoporosis. In the open-label extension, all patients received risedronate 35mg once a week, and 1000mg elemental calcium and 400 to 500IU vitamin D daily for up to 2years. The safety of risedronate was evaluated based on adverse events, laboratory data, vital signs, and physical examination results. BMD, BTMs, and the incidence of new vertebral fractures were also assessed. A total of 218 (of 284) patients enrolled in the open-label extension. Risedronate continued to produce significant increases in lumbar spine BMD from baseline (7.87%) in the group of patients who took it for 4years. Risedronate produced significant increases in lumbar spine BMD from baseline (6.27%) in the former placebo group who took it for 2years during the open-label extension. Few new vertebral and clinical fractures occurred during the study. There were no significant differences in BTMs between the two groups at months 36 and 48. Incidences of any upper GI adverse events during the extension were low and similar in the two groups; however, the percent of moderate to severe events were higher (8% versus 2%) in the group that received placebo prior to the extension. Safety results continued to show that risedronate was well-tolerated in men with osteoporosis. Patients who received risedronate 35mg once a week for 2years in the open-label extension study showed similar safety and efficacy results compared with those who received risedronate treatment in the first 2 double-blind years of the study. Patients who received risedronate for 4years in total showed similar safety and efficacy to that observed in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis treated with risedronate for 4years.

Risedronate 5 mg daily is approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common with daily bisphosphonates, but recent studies show that once weekly treatment may be better tolerated. Risedronate 30 mg is approved to treat Paget s disease of bone. In this retrospective study, we assessed the GI tolerability of 30 mg of risedronate once weekly and evaluated the effect on bone mineral density (BMD) in a subset of women. Review of patients treated in our osteoporosis clinic identified 150 postmenopausal women with low BMD treated with 30 mg of risedronate once weekly, between February 1998 and March 2001. Baseline GI symptoms or previous intolerance of bisphosphonates was present in 32 patients. An additional antiresorptive treatment was continued with risedronate in 50% of these patients (estrogen, raloxifene, or calcitonin). Risedronate 30 mg was taken once weekly with vitamin D 400 iu daily and 1200 mg of calcium daily. Patient age ranged from 46 to 86 yr. Baseline and followup BMD data were available in 36 patients. Of the 32 patients with baseline GI symptoms or previous intolerance of a bisphosphonate, 1 developed GI symptoms. In those patients with baseline and follow-up BMD results (n = 36), BMD increased 1.9% (p = 0.02) at the trochanter and 2.1% (p = 0.001) at the total hip. In conclusion 30 mg of risedronate once weekly increased BMD at the trochanter and total hip (p < 0.05). This dosage was well tolerated with a low incidence of GI side effects.  相似文献

Long-term use of high-dose corticosteroids often results in bone loss, which may lead to osteoporosis-related fractures. This was a multicenter, double-blind study in which 290 ambulatory men and women receiving high-dose oral corticosteroid therapy (prednisone > or = 7.5 mg/day or equivalent) for 6 or more months were randomized to receive placebo, risedronate 2.5 mg/day, or risedronate 5 mg/day for 12 months. All patients received calcium 1 g and vitamin D 400 IU daily. The primary endpoint was lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) at month 12. Additional measurements included BMD at the femoral neck and trochanter and the incidence of vertebral fractures. Overall, there were statistically significant treatment effects on BMD at 12 months at the lumbar spine (p < 0.001), femoral neck (p = 0.004), and trochanter (p = 0.010). Risedronate 5 mg increased BMD at 12 months by a mean (SEM) of 2.9% (0.49%) at the lumbar spine, 1.8% (0.46%) at the femoral neck, and 2.4% (0.54%) at the trochanter, whereas BMD was maintained only in the control group. Although not powered to show fracture efficacy, we observed a reduction in the incidence of vertebral fractures of 70% in the combined risedronate treatment groups, relative to placebo (p = 0.042). Risedronate was well tolerated, had a good safety profile, and was not associated with gastrointestinal adverse events. We conclude that risedronate increases BMD and potentially reduces the incidence of vertebral fractures in patients with corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis.  相似文献

This study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of risedronate once a week (35 mg and 50 mg) compared with risedronate 5 mg once daily in women with osteoporosis. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, 2-year study; the primary efficacy assessment was performed after 1 year. Subjects were women aged 50 years or older who had been postmenopausal for at least 5 years, with either a bone mineral density (BMD) T-score of -2.5 or lower (lumbar spine or proximal femur) or a T-score lower than -2 and at least one prevalent vertebral fracture. Subjects received risedronate 5 mg once daily, 35 mg once a week or 50 mg once a week. All subjects also received 1 g daily of elemental calcium supplementation and supplemental vitamin D if the baseline serum levels were low. The primary efficacy measure was percent change in lumbar spine BMD at 12 months. A total of 1,456 women were randomized and received medication; 1,209 (83%) women completed 12 months. The mean percent change (SE) in lumbar spine BMD after 12 months was 4.0% (0.2%) in the 5 mg daily group, 3.9% (0.2%) in the 35 mg group, and 4.2% (0.2%) in the 50 mg group; each once-a-week treatment was determined to be as effective as the daily treatment. Outcomes of the secondary efficacy measurements and safety assessments were also similar in all 3 groups after 12 months. Risedronate 35 mg and 50 mg once a week provide the same efficacy and safety as the daily 5 mg regimen; therefore, the lower dose, 35 mg once a week, is considered optimal for women with postmenopausal osteoporosis who desire a once-a-week regimen.  相似文献

Alendronate has been approved as a first antiresorptive drug for treatment of osteoporosis in men. Except for fluoride, in some countries so far there has been no approved anabolic substance for the treatment of male osteoporosis. From small studies in men and male patients included in studies on postmenopausal osteoporosis there is sufficient evidence that fluoride has the same osteoblast-stimulating potency in men and women. In our own study on 64 men with idiopathic osteoporosis without prevalent fractures, a low-dose intermittent fluoride regimen (15 mg fluoride ions 3 months on, 1 month off) resulted in an average gain of lumbar spine BMD of 3% per year and a lower rate of incident fractures as compared with patients treated with calcium only. A combination of fluoride with an antiresorptive drug may improve the therapeutic results in terms of pattern of biochemical marker response and gain in BMD. This was shown for postemopausal osteoporosis in several studies using fluoride and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Encouraged by a Dutch study using etidronate/fluoride in corticoid-induced osteoporosis, we performed a pilot study in 33 men with severe established primary osteoporosis giving cyclically etidronate for 14 days followed by fluoride plus calcium/vitamin D for 76 days. This combined regimen resulted in significantly higher increases of BMD than fluoride or etidronate alone. In an ongoing trial we are studying a continuous, combined treatment of alendronate and fluoride plus calcium/vitamin D in established idiopathic osteoporosis in men. The results of a preliminary evaluation look very promising. A large study with a bisphosphonate plus fluoride, taking fractures as the primary endpoint and bone biopsies to assess safety, would be very valuable.  相似文献

Bisphosphonate is an effective drug to reduce fracture risk in osteoporotic patients; however, factors affecting the efficacy of bisphosphonate treatment are not fully known, especially in Japanese patients. In the present study, we examined the relationships between an increase in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) by bisphosphonates and several pretreatment parameters, including biochemical, bone/mineral, and body composition indices, in 85 postmenopausal osteoporotic patients treated with alendronate or risedronate. BMD increase was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at the lumbar spine before and 2 years after treatment. BMD increase at the lumbar spine was observed as independent of age, height, weight, body mass index, and fat mass, although lean body mass seemed slightly related. On the other hand, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels were significantly and positively related to BMD increase at the lumbar spine. In multiple regression analysis, FPG levels were not significantly related to BMD increase at the lumbar spine when lean body mass was considered. As for bone/mineral parameters, BMD increase at the lumbar spine was not significantly related to serum levels of calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and alkaline phosphatase or urinary levels of deoxypiridinoline and calcium excretion. As for BMD parameters, Z-scores of BMD at any site and bone geometry parameters obtained by forearm peripheral quantitative computed tomography were not significantly related to BMD increase at the lumbar spine. BMD increases at the lumbar spine were similar between groups with or without vertebral fractures. In conclusion, BMD increase at the lumbar spine by bisphosphonate treatment was not related to any pretreatment parameters, including body size, body composition, and bone/mineral metabolism in postmenopausal Japanese women with primary osteoporosis, although FPG correlated partly to BMD through lean body mass.  相似文献

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have frequently a bone mineral density (BMD) significantly lower than age-matched healthy subjects. The low BMD observed in IBD patients is related also to a higher incidence of bone fractures. In this prospective randomized study we evaluated the effect of 1-year risedronate administration on bone mass and turnover, and on vertebral fractures in osteoporotic postmenopausal women with IBD in remission. Ninety osteoporotic postmenopausal women were randomized to receive oral risedronate 35 mg/week (risedronate group) or placebo tablets (placebo group; one tab/week). The duration of treatment was 12 months. At entry and after treatment, lumbar spine and hip BMD, and serum osteocalcin (OC) and urinary deoxypyridinoline/creatinine ratio (DPD-Cr) levels were evaluated. Vertebral fractures were assessed from thoracic and lumbar lateral and anterior-posterior spinal radiographs taken at baseline, and from lateral spinal radiographs taken at the end of the study. At study entry, no difference between groups was also detected in BMD and in bone turnover markers. At the end of the study, lumbar spine, trochanter and femoral neck BMD was significantly ( p <0.05) higher in comparison with baseline in the risedronate group, whereas a significant ( p <0.05) decrease was observed in the placebo group. For the same visit, a significant ( p <0.05) difference in lumbar spine, trochanter and femoral neck BMD was detected between groups. After 12-month follow-up, serum OC and urinary DPD-Cr levels were significantly ( p <0.05) lower and higher in comparison with basal values in risedronate and placebo group, respectively. At the same time, a significant ( p <0.05) difference in serum OC and urinary DPD-Cr levels was observed between groups. Throughout the study, the incidence of vertebral fractures was significantly ( p <0.05) lower in the risedronate group than in the placebo group (12.5% vs 34.1%). The relative risk (RR) to develop a new vertebral fracture after 1 year of risedronate administration was of 0.36 (95% confidence interval, 0.14–0.85). In conclusion, risedronate administration is an effective anti-osteoporotic treatment in osteoporotic postmenopausal women with IBD in remission.  相似文献

Limited information is available on the effect of bisphosphonates in men receiving corticosteroid therapy. We studied 184 men among the patients enrolled in two, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 1-year studies with similar protocols. The studies evaluated the effects of risedronate in patients beginning corticosteroid treatment at a dose of at least 7.5 mg per day of prednisone or equivalent (prevention study) or continuing long-term treatment of corticosteroid at that dose (treatment study). The men received either placebo or risedronate (2.5 mg or 5 mg) daily, along with calcium supplementation (500-1000 mg). Endpoints included differences in bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and femoral trochanter, assessment of vertebral fractures, changes in biochemical markers of bone turnover, and overall safety. In the treatment study, risedronate 5 mg significantly (P < 0.01) increased lumbar spine BMD by 4.8% at the lumbar spine, 2.1% at the femoral neck, and 2.6% at the femoral trochanter compared with baseline values. In the prevention study, bone loss was prevented with risedronate 5 mg; in the placebo group, BMD decreased significantly (P < 0.01) by 3.4%, 3.3%, and 3.4% in the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and trochanter, respectively, at 1 year. The differences between risedronate 5 mg and placebo groups were significant at all skeletal sites in the prevention study (P < 0.01) and at the lumbar spine in the treatment study (P < 0.001). The 2.5 mg dose also had a positive effect on BMD, although of a lesser magnitude than the 5 mg dose. When the data from the two studies were combined, the incidence of vertebral fractures decreased 82.4% (95% confidence interval, 36.6%-95.1%) in the pooled risedronate groups compared with placebo (P = 0.008). Risedronate was well tolerated in men, with a similar incidence of upper gastrointestinal adverse events in the placebo and treatment groups. Daily treatment with risedronate increases bone density and decreases vertebral fracture risk within 1 year in men receiving corticosteroid therapy.  相似文献

Osteoporosis has become an important health problem in postmenopausal Asian populations as the prevalence of hip and vertebral fractures in some Asian countries has risen to approach that of Caucasian populations. Risedronate, a pyridinyl-bisphosphonate agent, is a potent inhibitor of bone resorption. Risedronate increases bone mineral density (BMD), reduces markers of bone turnover, and reduces the risk of fractures in Caucasian postmenopausal women. To determine the efficacy and tolerability of risedronate in Chinese, a multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study was performed in Hong Kong. Sixty-five (65) postmenopausal osteoporotic Southern Chinese women, aged 67+/-6 years, were randomly assigned to receive either risedronate 5 mg daily (n=31) or placebo (n=34) for 12 months. All women received calcium carbonate 500 mg daily and vitamin D 400 IU daily. Mean baseline BMD T-score at the spine and total hip was -3.4 and -2.6, respectively. A significant increase in spine BMD was already evident at month 3 of risedronate treatment (P<0.001). Risedronate significantly increased BMD and reduced bone turnover markers as compared with placebo. The risedronate group had significant increase in BMD at 12 months at both the spine and hip when compared with the placebo group (L1-4 6.6% vs. 0.4%, P<0.001; total hip 2.7% vs. 0.3, P<0.0001; femoral neck 1.8% vs. 1.1%, P<0.02; trochanter 4% vs. 1.1%, P<0.0001, respectively). Significant changes in urine N-telopeptide (NTx) and serum osteocalcin were evident as early as 1 and 3 months, respectively, with risedronate treatment. No significant changes were seen in both BMD and bone markers in the placebo group. Risedronate was well tolerated without major adverse effects. We conclude that risedronate is an effective and well-tolerated agent for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis in Asian population.  相似文献

This 2-year trial evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of a monthly oral regimen of risedronate. Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis were randomly assigned to double-blind treatment with risedronate 75 mg on 2 consecutive days each month (2CDM) or 5 mg daily. The primary end point was the percentage change from baseline in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) at 12 months. Secondary end points included the change in BMD of the lumbar spine and proximal femur and in bone turnover markers as well as the number of subjects with at least one new vertebral fracture over 24 months. Among 1,229 patients who were randomized and received at least one dose of risedronate, lumbar spine BMD was increased in both treatment groups: mean percentage change from baseline was 4.2 ± 0.19 and 4.3 ± 0.19 % in the 75 mg 2CDM and 5 mg daily groups, respectively, at month 24. The treatment difference was 0.17 (95 % confidence interval ?0.35 to 0.68). There were no statistically significant differences between treatment groups on any secondary efficacy parameters. Both treatment regimens were well tolerated. Risedronate 75 mg 2CDM was noninferior in BMD efficacy and did not show a difference in tolerability compared to 5 mg daily after 24 months of treatment in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. This monthly regimen may provide a more convenient dosing schedule to some patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis.  相似文献

Osteoporosis is a debilitating disease characterized by decreased bone mineral density (BMD) leading to fractures. It primarily affects postmenopausal women and elderly men. Prevention of osteoporosis is very important because present therapies do not have the potential to mend damage to the bone microarchitecture caused by osteoporosis. The first line of prevention and treatment of osteoporosis is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). All of the approved drugs for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis act as inhibitors of bone resorption; these drugs include HRT, selective estrogen receptor modulators, calcitonin, and bisphosphonates. The latter two drugs have also been shown to prevent fractures. This article discusses data from nine controlled prospective clinical studies. Study 1 was designed to assess the efficacy of combined HRT and bisphosphonate in preventing osteoporosis during the early stages of menopause. This combined therapy increased the lumbar spine BMD by 10.9% and femoral BMD by 7.3% over 4 yr, compared with 6.8 and 4.0% with HRT alone, and 6.8 and 1.2% with bisphosphonate alone. Study 2 was conducted on postmenopausal women with established osteoporosis. These results showed a 10.4 and 7.0% increase in BMD in vertebrae and femora, respectively, compared with 7.3 and 4.8% increases in the HRT group, and 6.8 and 0.9% in the bisphosphonate group. Data from study 3 demonstrated similar findings in that the combination of alendronate and HRT also enhanced BMD values. Studies 4 and 5 assessed the efficacy of the combined therapy of HRT and calcitonin in the prevention of early postmenopausal bone loss. Both studies demonstrated a significant increase in BMD over and above that observed with either HRT or calcitonin alone. Studies 6, 7, and 8 demonstrated that the addition of testosterone to estrogen therapy further increased BMD when compared to estrogen therapy alone, and also prevented the expected decreases in markers of bone formation in early postmenopausal women. Study 9 demonstrated a synergistic effect on BMD in postmenopausal women, when HRT was coadministered with monofluorophosphate. Other combination therapies may also enhance BMD (e.g., the combination of alendronate and parathyroid hormone [PTH]). However, some agents either lose their efficacy or have no added effects on BMD when they are coadministered (e.g., tiludronate and PTH, calcitonin and PTH, calcitonin and anabolic steroids). These studies illustrate that in a subgroup of patients (i.e., patients with high bone turnover and/or severe osteoporosis), specific combination treatments such as HRT with bis-phosphonates, calcitonin, or androgens (and perhaps also with PTH, fluoride, nitric oxide donors) provide additional beneficial effects over a single-drug therapy. Whether these combination therapies are more effective than individual drugs in reducing fractures still needs to be determined.  相似文献

Risedronate is used in osteoporosis treatment. Postmenopausal women enrolled in the Vertebral Efficacy with Risedronate Therapy trial received either risedronate (5 mg/day) or placebo for 3 years. Subjects received calcium and vitamin D supplementation if deficient at baseline. Lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) was measured at baseline and at 3 years. Quantitative back-scattered electron imaging (qBEI) was performed on paired iliac crest biopsies (risedronate, n = 18; placebo, n = 13) before and after treatment, and the mineral volume fraction in the trabecular bone was calculated. Combining dual-energy X-ray absorptiometric values with the mineral volume fraction for the same patients allowed us to calculate the relative change in trabecular bone volume with treatment. This showed that the effect on BMD was likely to be due partly to changes in matrix mineralization and partly due to changes in bone volume. After treatment, trabecular bone volume in the lumbar spine tended to increase in the risedronate group (+2.4%, nonsignificant) but there was a significant decrease (−3.7%, P < 0.05) in the placebo group. Calcium supplementation with adequate levels of vitamin D led to an ∼3.3% increase in mineral content in the bone material independently of risedronate treatment. This increase was larger in patients with lower matrix mineralization at baseline and likely resulted from correction of calcium/vitamin D deficiency as well as from reduced bone remodeling. Combining BMD and bone mineralization density distribution data show that in postmenopausal osteoporosis 3-year treatment with risedronate preserves or may increase trabecular bone volume, unlike placebo. This analysis also allows, for the first time, separation of the contributions of bone volume and matrix mineralization to the increase in BMD.  相似文献

Once-weekly alendronate 70 mg and once-weekly risedronate 35 mg are indicated for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. These two agents were compared in a 12-month head-to-head trial. Greater gains in BMD and greater reductions in markers of bone turnover were seen with alendronate compared with risedronate with similar tolerability. INTRODUCTION: The nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates, alendronate and risedronate, are available in once-weekly (OW) formulations for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. A 12-month, head-to-head study was performed to compare these agents in the treatment of postmenopausal women with low BMD. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 1053 patients from 78 U.S. sites were randomized to OW alendronate 70 mg (N = 520) or risedronate 35 mg (N = 533), taken in the morning after fasting. Endpoints included BMD changes over 6 and 12 months at the hip trochanter, total hip, femoral neck, and lumbar spine (LS); percent of patients with predefined levels of change in trochanter and LS BMD at 12 months; and change in biochemical markers of bone turnover at 3, 6, and 12 months. Tolerability was evaluated by adverse experience (AE) reporting. RESULTS: Significantly greater increases in hip trochanter BMD were seen with alendronate (3.4%) than risedronate (2.1%) at 12 months (treatment difference, 1.4%; p < 0.001) as well as 6 months (treatment difference, 1.3%; p < 0.001). Significantly greater gains in BMD were seen with alendronate at all BMD sites measured (12-month difference: total hip, 1.0%; femoral neck, 0.7%; LS, 1.2%). Significant differences were seen as early as 6 months at all sites. A greater percentage of patients had > or =0% (p < 0.001) and > or =3% (p < 0.01) gain in trochanter and spine BMD at 12 months with alendronate than risedronate. Significantly greater (p < 0.001) reductions in all biochemical markers of bone turnover occurred with alendronate compared with risedronate by 3 months. No significant differences were seen between treatment groups in the incidence of upper gastrointestinal AEs or AEs causing discontinuation. CONCLUSIONS: In this 12-month, head-to-head trial of alendronate and risedronate, given in accordance with the approved OW regimens for treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, alendronate produced greater gains in BMD and greater reductions in markers of bone turnover than risedronate. The greater antiresorptive effect of alendronate was seen as early as 3 months, and the tolerability profiles were similar.  相似文献

Teriparatide and bisphosphonates are osteoporosis medications that increase bone mineral density (BMD) and prevent fracture, but each has a different mechanism of action. Teriparatide promotes bone formation, while bisphosphonates suppress bone resorption. In the clinical setting, however, drug selection is not always tailored to the particular clinical condition of the patient or mechanism of action of the drug. We compared the effects of teriparatide and the bisphosphonate risedronate on bone metabolism using two ovariectomized rat models to elucidate the optimal use of these two drugs in the clinical setting. We first performed dose-finding experiments to determine the equivalent effective doses of each drug (5.6 and 3.0 µg/kg for teriparatide and risedronate, respectively). We then compared the effects of these doses on bone metabolism after subcutaneous administration three times weekly for 4 months starting either the day after ovariectomy (preventive study) or 12 months after ovariectomy (therapeutic study). The increase in proximal tibial BMD under the physical conditions that increased bone turnover at 1 to 2 months after ovariectomy was greater in the risedronate group than in the teriparatide group. In contrast, the increases in lumbar vertebral BMD and bone strength under the physical conditions that significantly decreased BMD and bone strength at 12 months after ovariectomy were greater in the teriparatide group than in the risedronate group. The present study provides important information on the selection of antiosteoporotic drugs, including teriparatide and risedronate, in treatment protocols tailored to the clinical conditions of patients and drug mechanisms.  相似文献

Summary

Dosing regimens of oral bisphosphonates are inconvenient and contribute to poor compliance. The bone mineral density response to a once weekly delayed-release formulation of risedronate given before or following breakfast was non-inferior to traditional immediate-release risedronate given daily before breakfast. Delayed-release risedronate is a convenient regimen for oral bisphosphonate therapy.

Introduction

We report the results of a randomized, controlled, clinical study assessing the efficacy and safety of a delayed-release (DR) 35 mg weekly oral formulation of risedronate that allows patients to take their weekly risedronate dose before or immediately after breakfast.

Methods

Women with postmenopausal osteoporosis were randomly assigned to receive risedronate 5 mg immediate-release (IR) daily (n?=?307) at least 30 min before breakfast, or risedronate 35 mg DR weekly, either at least 30 min before breakfast (BB, n?=?308) or immediately following breakfast (FB, n?=?307). Bone mineral density (BMD), bone turnover markers (BTMs), fractures, and adverse events were evaluated. The primary efficacy variable was percent change from baseline in lumbar spine BMD at Endpoint.

Two hundred fifty-seven subjects (83.7%) in the IR daily group, 252 subjects (82.1%) in the DR FB weekly group, and 258 subjects (83.8%) in the DR BB weekly group completed 1 year. Both DR weekly groups were determined to be non-inferior to the IR daily regimen. Mean percent changes in hip BMD were similar across groups. The magnitude of BTM response was similar across groups; some statistical differences were seen that were small and deemed by investigators to have no major clinical importance. The incidence of adverse events leading to withdrawal and serious adverse events were similar across treatment groups. All three regimens were well tolerated.

Conclusions

Risedronate 35 mg DR weekly is similar in efficacy and safety to risedronate 5 mg IR daily, and will allow patients to take their weekly risedronate dose immediately after breakfast.  相似文献

The efficacy of oral clodronate 800 mg daily to reduce vertebral fractures was studied in 593 women with postmenopausal or secondary osteoporosis. The incidence of vertebral fractures was significantly reduced by 46%. The effect was not modified by the underlying cause of osteoporosis or other baseline factors including bone mineral density, QUS, weight, and smoking. INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to determine if the bisphosphonate, clodronate (Bonefos), reduced the incidence of vertebral fractures in osteoporotic women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Women fulfilling the WHO criteria for osteoporosis at the lumbar spine (T-score 相似文献

Although osteoporosis in men is already a major public health problem, there is still a dearth of data about the effects of risedronate in male osteoporosis, especially in Japanese with primary osteoporosis. Therefore, the objective of our study was to investigate the effects of risedronate on bone mineral density (BMD), bone turnover, back pain, and fractures in these patients prospectively for two years (at baseline, three months, six months, twelve months, and twenty-four months) both longitudinally and compared with those of alfacalcidol. The subjects enrolled for this study were 66 Japanese male patients with untreated primary osteoporosis (mean age 63.52 ± 8.7 years), who were divided into two groups (44 with risedronate and 22 with alfacalcidol). We measured BMD by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry at three sites—the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and distal radius. Risedronate treatment significantly increased BMD at the lumbar spine and at the femoral neck, reduced bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) and serum N-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (NTx), and reduced back pain, both longitudinally and compared with alfacalcidol treatment. We observed a lower rate of incident fracture in risedronate users. However, multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that this trend was not statistically significant, possibly because of the small number of patients enrolled. These potentially beneficial effects of risedronate on bone in male patients with primary osteoporosis suggest the possibility that osteoporosis should be treated with risedronate regardless of gender in order to effectively prevent subsequent osteoporotic fractures.  相似文献
