10 Consequences of Short-Term Accelerated Turnover Sequential Therapy Summary In postmenopausal osteoporosis, the order in which denosumab and teriparatide are used has a significant impact on overall treatment efficacy. postmenopausal experienced 11 fractures. Mean number of fractures per patient =.7. All fractures occurred -1 after last denosumab injection. 9% of patients had >1 vertebral fracture Using teriparatide after denosumab is associated with transient or sustained bone loss. Using denosumab after teriparatide further increases BMD at the spine and hip and maintains BMD at peripheral cortical skeletal sites.

ASBMR 1 Conclusions Unlike bisphosphonate + teriparatide combinations, combined denosumab + teriparatide shows potential as a treatment strategy in patients at high risk of fragility fracture. The initial use of anabolic (or combo) therapy, followed by a potent antiresorptive, appears to be the most effective sequential approach in the treatment of PMO. Additional trials are needed to unequivocally demonstrate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of these types of intensive osteoporosis treatment regimens. Fracture efficacy? Conclusions Length of combination anti-remodeling and anabolic therapy? Synchronized or staggered initiation of combination therapy? Use of higher dose or next generation anabolic agents?
