Cardiovascular Safety of Romosozumab vs. PTH Analogs for Osteoporosis Treatment: a Propensity Score Matched Cohort Study.
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism 2024 March 15
CONTEXT: Romosozumab, a monoclonal sclerostin antibody, is a recently approved highly potent anti-osteoporotic agent with osteoanabolic properties. Clinical use of Romosozumab is hindered by the fear of adverse cardiovascular (CV) events raised following the pivotal ARCH-trial.
OBJECTIVE: To assess real-world CV safety of romosozumab vs. alternative osteoanabolic therapies used for treatment of severe osteoporosis.
DESIGN: Data was obtained from TriNetX, a global federated health research network including real-time electronic medical records from 113 healthcare organizations with a total of 136,460,930 patients across 16 countries at time of analysis. Inclusion criteria were age ≥ 40 years, a diagnosis of osteoporosis and prescription of romosozumab or a PTH analog (teriparatide/abaloparatide) during 8.2019-8.2022. 1:1 propensity score matched cohorts were created using demographic variables, comorbidities, and medications. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate the probability of the outcomes.
OUTCOMES: Incident 3-point major adverse CV event or death (3P-MACE) during 1-year of follow-up after the initial prescription.
RESULTS: 5,626 and 15,986 patients met the criteria for romosozumab and PTH analog cohorts, respectively, with 5,610 patients per group following propensity score matching. 3P-MACE was significantly less frequent in the romosozumab vs. PTH analog cohort (158 vs 211 patients with an outcome, p=0.003) with reductions in the individual components of the composite outcome: myocardial ischemic events (31 vs 58, p=0.003); cerebrovascular events 56 vs 79, p=0.037; deaths (83 vs 104, p=0.099).
CONCLUSIONS: In a diverse real-world setting, prescription of romosozumab for osteoporosis is associated with less adverse CV events when compared to PTH analog therapy.
