Romosozumab Versus Denosumab in Glucocorticoid-induced Osteoporosis: an Extended Observation of a Randomized Controlled Trial at 48 Months

Romosozumab Versus Denosumab in Patients With Glucocorticoid-induced Osteoporosis: a 2-year Extension Study of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 5 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

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 spine bone mineral density (BMD) was demonstrated at month 12 and month 24. The present study was to report the further BMD changes at 48 months (2 year extension) for those participants who were maintained on DEN treatment.
