Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of a sequential treatment combining abaloparatide and alendronate for the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy 2018 Februrary
The recently published results of the sequential treatment of postmenopausal osteoporotic women with subcutaneous abaloparatide (80 µg/day) (ABL) for 18 months followed by 6 months of oral alendronate (70 mg/week) (ALN) support the administration of an anti-resorptive agent after completion of a treatment course with an osteoanabolic agent. The ABL/ALN sequence resulted in greater bone mineral density gains at all skeletal sites and in a reduction of vertebral, non-vertebral, major and clinical fractures compared to what is observed after 18 months of placebo followed by 6 months of ALN. Whereas questions remained unanswered about the ideal anti-resorptive agent to be used after ABL, the optimal duration of the administration of the anti-resorptive drug or the potential interest of re-initiating a course of ABL after a limited administration of ALN, these results support the use of the ABL/ALN sequence in the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
