Discontinuing Denosumab: Can It Be Done Safely? A Review of the Literature
Wei Lin Tay,Donovan Tay 대한내분비학회 2022 Endocrinology and metabolism Vol.37 No.2
Denosumab, which has been approved for the treatment of osteoporosis since 2010, is a fully humanised monoclonal antibody against a cytokine, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), involved in bone resorption. Continued use of denosumab results in a potent and sustained decrease in bone turnover, an increase in bone mineral density (BMD), and a reduction in vertebral and hip fractures. The anti-resorptive effects of denosumab are reversible upon cessation, and this reversal is accompanied by a transient marked increase in bone turnover that is associated with bone loss, and of concern, an increased risk of multiple vertebral fractures. In this review, we outline the effects of denosumab withdrawal on bone turnover markers, BMD, histomorphometry, and fracture risk. We provide an update on recent clinical trials that sought to answer how clinicians can transition away from denosumab safely with follow-on therapy to mitigate bone loss and summarise the recommendations of various international guidelines.

Objectives: The accuracy of FRAX® as a screening tool to identify osteoporosis and how it compares with tools such as Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asians (OSTA), in Southeast Asian women has so far been unexplored. We aimed to determine the FRAX® thresholds that accurately identify densitometric osteoporosis and to compare its performance with that of OSTA for this purpose. Methods: Singaporean postmenopausal women (n ¼ 1056) were evaluated. FRAX® Major Osteoporotic Fracture Probability (MOFP), Hip Fracture Probability (HFP) scores, and OSTA indices were calculated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed and via the Youden index, the optimal cut-off points of balanced sensitivity and specificity for dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-defined osteoporosis were identified and the performance characteristics were compared. Results: A FRAX® MOFP threshold of ≥3.7% had sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 0.78 (0.73-0.83), 0.63 (0.59-0.66), 0.4 (0.36-0.44), and 0.9 (0.87-0.92), respectively in identifying osteoporosis. The corresponding values for a HFP threshold of 0.6% were 0.85 (0.80-0.89), 0.58 (0.55-0.62), 0.39 (0.35-0.43), and 0.92 (0.9-0.94) and that for an OSTA index cut-off of ≥ -1.2 were 0.76 (0.70-0.81), 0.74 (0.71-0.77), 0.48 (0.43-0.54), and 0.91 (0.88-0.93). The area under the ROC curves were 82.8% (79.9%-85.6%), 77.6% (74.2%-81%), and 79.6% (76.5%-82.8%) for OSTA, MOFP, and HFP thresholds respectively. Conclusions: FRAX® and OSTA perform comparably in identifying osteoporosis in our population. OSTA has only 2 parameters and may be simpler to use. However, FRAX® may also have a role in primary screening to identify the postmenopausal woman to be referred for DXA scanning and may help facilitate fracture risk reduction discussions with the patient.
