Osteoporosis is a worldwide health concern. Although treatment with denosumab plus the active vitamin D alfacalcidol has been found to improve femoral neck (FN) and distal forearm bone mineral density (BMD), there have been no reports on the efficacy or adverse effects of denosumab plus eldecalcitol (ELD) in primary osteoporosis patients. Fifty-six treatment-naïve post-menopausal women with primary osteoporosis were recruited and divided into denosumab plus native vitamin D or denosumab plus ELD. Ultimately, 26 subjects in the native vitamin D group and 24 in the ELD group were analyzed. Lumbar and total hip BMD significantly increased in both groups. However, there was no significant difference in the percent increase of lumbar and total hip BMD between two groups. FN-BMD was significantly increased from 6 to 12 months in the ELD group compared with baseline. This study revealed that combination therapy with denosumab and ELD could improve FN-BMD more effectively than denosumab plus native vitamin D. Thus, the addition of ELD may enhance the effects of denosumab treatment for primary osteoporosis.
骨质疏松症是一个全球性的健康问题。尽管已发现地诺单抗联合活性维生素D阿法骨化醇治疗可改善股骨颈(FN)和远端前臂骨密度(BMD),但尚无关于地诺单抗联合 eldecalcitol(ELD)治疗原发性骨质疏松症患者的疗效或不良反应的报道。招募了56例未经治疗的绝经后原发性骨质疏松症女性,并将其分为地诺单抗联合天然维生素D组或地诺单抗联合ELD组。最终,对天然维生素D组的26名受试者和ELD组的24名受试者进行了分析。两组的腰椎和全髋部BMD均显著增加。然而,两组之间腰椎和全髋部BMD的增加百分比无显著差异。与基线相比,ELD组的FN-BMD在6至12个月时显著增加。这项研究表明,地诺单抗与ELD联合治疗比地诺单抗联合天然维生素D能更有效地改善FN-BMD。因此,添加ELD可能会增强地诺单抗治疗原发性骨质疏松症的效果。
