Introduction Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is “a disease of the bones that happens when you lose too much bone, make too little bone, or both.” - National Osteoporosis Foundation Currently, there are 6 million people diagnosed with osteoporosis in the United States Most of them are FEMALE But MEN have worse outcomes Introduction
Anatomy Osteoporosis
Compared to men, women have: • Weaker bones: • Smaller bone cross-sectional area1,4 • Less cortical bone thickness4 • Lower peak bone mass1,2 • Higher risk for osteoporosis: • Less bone mineral density2,4 • Bone density that decreases more with age1 Cortical thickness Anatomy Normal Bone Osteoporosis
Physiology Osteoporosis
Cells of bone remodeling: • Osteoblasts build bone • Osteoclasts resorb bone Osteoblasts Osteoclasts • Proteins that regulate bone remodeling: • RANK Ligand stimulates osteoclasts1 • Osteoprotegerininhibits RANK Ligand2 RANK Ligand RANK Receptor Osteoprotegerin Physiology Osteoclast
Pathology Osteoporosis
Higher Peak Bone Mass3,4 Bone Mass Menopause (rapid bone loss)2 Age (in years) Pathology
Estrogen promotes bone formation1 • After menopause, estrogen levels drop • Women experience rapid bone loss after menopause due to estrogen deficiency2 Osteoprotegerin RANK Ligand Estrogen
Testosterone: • Stimulates osteoblasts3 • Inhibits osteoclasts3 • Increases bone size and BMD3 • Mediated by an androgen receptor3 Men with low testosterone are susceptible to osteoporosis.3 Testosterone
Epidemiology Osteoporosis
200 million women worldwide suffer from osteoporosis • Approximately 30% of all postmenopausal women in the U.S. and Europe have osteoporosis. • At least 40% of these women, and 15-30% of men, will sustain one or more fragility fractures in their remaining lifetime. Epidemiology
Estimated Annual Incidence:2 • Total fractures: 9 million • Hip fractures: 1.6 million • Forearm fractures: 1.7 million • Vertebral fractures: 1.4 million Fracture Incidence
Treatment Osteoporosis
Bisphosphonates RR = Risk Reduction NE = No effect demonstrated
Other Agents RR = Risk Reduction NE = No effect demonstrated
HRT- Hormone Replacement Therapy Estrogen in Females
Mechanism of Action: selective estrogen-receptor modulator • Benefits • Increases BMD of hip and spine in women1 • Females: approved for treatment and prevention of osteoporosis in women. • Not approved in males2 • Narrow study contexts3,5 • Was not shown to significantly impact BMD in males4 Raloxifene
Bazedoxifine/Conjugated Estrogen (Duavee) • Mechanism of Action: SERM that selectively stimulates lipid metabolism and bone, however, has no effect on the uterus and breast. • Benefits • FDA approved for • postmenopausal moderate/severe vasomotor symptoms • prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis. • Increased hip and lumbar BMD Tissue Selective Estrogen Complex
Bazedoxifene/Conjugated Estrogen (Cont’d) • Approved in Womenfor:2 • prevention of osteoporosis • osteopenia • post menopausal vasomotor and sleep disturbances • Men: None of the three major clinical trials included men, despite that estrogen has been demonstrated to play a significant role in bone formation.3,4,5 Tissue Selective Estrogen Complex
Mechanism of Action • Analogous to endogenous calcitonin • Indications • Approved for the treatment (not prevention) of osteoporosis in women who are ≥5 years post-menopausal • Not utilized in men Calcitonin-Salmon
Mechanism of Action: • Recombinant parathyroid hormone (PTH) • Stimulates bone formation. • Approved for: • Treatment & prevention of osteoporosis in men and postmenopausal women1 • Especially those at high risk for vertebral fracture2 Teriparatide (Forteo)
Total Fracture Incidence • DIPART Group analysis of 7 major Vitamin D and Calcium trials in the US and Europe. • Analysis included 68,500+ patients • Only 14% of subjects were males Calcium and Vitamin D
Hip Fracture Incidence Calcium and Vitamin D
Efficacy: • Combination Calcium (1200 mg) and Vitamin D (800 mg) reduces the risk of hip, vertebral and total fractures in both men and women.1 • Study Demographics • Men were understudied • 2010 DIPART Group Meta-Analysis: only14% of 68,500 subjects studied were men1 • 2007 Tang et al.2 Meta-Analysis included only 8% men3 Calcium & Vitamin D
Mechanism of Action: monoclonal antibody; prevents osteoclast maturation. RANK-L Inhibitor (Denosumab) “RANK-L”, RANK-Ligand
Approved to increase BMD in1,2 • Women: • With non-metastatic breast cancer • post-menopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture. • Men:2 • With non-metastatic prostate cancer who are receiving Androgen Deprivation Therapy. • With osteoporosis who are at high risk for fracture. Denosumab (Prolia)
Efficacy in Males Denosumab
Efficacy in Females Denosumab
