The 2009 TIME 100: TOP 10 MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGHS
Osteoporosis affects over 200 million women worldwide 1 30% of all postmenopausal women have osteoporosis 2 The major complication of osteoporosis is hip fracture 2 Lifetime risk for hip, vertebral and wrist fractures, estimated at 40%, is similar to the risk of cardiovascular disease 1 3 1.

Osteoporos Int 1997; 7: 407 413.
The social and economic burden of some fractures have more impact than others 1 Less than 50% of survivors regain the level of function they had prior to hip fracture 1 Recovery from a hip fracture is slow and many patients end up permanently institutionalised in nursing homes 2 4 1. Ström O et al. Arch Osteoporos 2011; 6: 59 155. 2. Kanis JA et al. Osteoporos Int 2013; 24: 23 57.
Osteoporotic fractures are caused by both cortical and trabecular bone loss 1 Most cortical bone loss occurs between 65 and 79 years of age 1 Targeting both cortical and trabecular bone is important to help reduce fracture risk for PMO patients 1,3 5 PMO: postmenopausal osteoporosis. 1.

The incidence of hip fracture increases exponentially with age 1 Vertebral fracture is prevalent among postmenopausal women. Hip fracture is agedependent and increases significantly and exponentially with age. 1 *Radiographic confirmed fractures. 7 1. Sambrook P and Cooper C. Lancet 2006; 367: 2010 2018.

A Wide Variety of Therapies Are Currently Available f or Osteoporosis Current Clinical Prescription THERAPIES APPROVED FOR OSTEOPOROSIS Category Therapy name (brand name) Mode and frequency of administration 9 RANK Ligand Inhibitor Denosumab (Prolia ) Subcutaneous injection, every 6 months Bisphosphonates Selective oestrogen receptor modulator (SERM) Parathyroid hormone (PTH) Other Alendronate (Fosamax ) Ibandronate (Bonviva ) Zoledronate (Aclasta ) Raloxifene (Evista ) Teriparatide (Forteo ) Strontium ranelate (Protos ) Oral, daily or weekly Oral, monthly IV injection, every 3 months IV infusion, yearly Oral, daily Injection, daily Oral, daily
Prolia has a different mechanism of action from bisphosphonates 1 10 this may explain potential differences in their effects on cortical and trabecular bone 1 10 1. Baron R et al.

Prolia : Therapeutic indication 1 Treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at increased risk of fractures. Prolia significantly reduces the risk of hip, vertebral and non-vertebral fractures 1 The recommended dose of Prolia is 60 mg administered as a single subcutaneous injection once every 6 months into the thigh, abdomen or upper arm 1 13 1.

FREEDOM
FREEDOM: Study design 1 Eligibility criteria 1 7,808 postmenopausal women between the ages of 60 and 90 years were randomised BMD T-score < 2.5 at the lumbar spine or total hip and not < 4.0 at either site Randomisation was stratified according to 5-year age groups FREEDOM study design 1 Exclusion criteria 1 Any severe or more than two moderate prevalent vertebral fractures Conditions that influence bone metabolism other than PMO Primary endpoint 1 New radiographic vertebral fracture* over 36 months Secondary endpoints 1 Non-vertebral fracture Hip fracture 20 BMD: bone mineral density; PMO: postmenopausal osteoporosis. 1. Cummings SR et al. N Engl J Med 2009; 361: 756 765. *Defined as an increase of at least one grade in a vertebral body that was normal at baseline. All non-vertebral fractures. However, fractures of the skull, face, mandible, metacarpals, fingers or toes were excluded because they are not associated with decreased bone mineral density. Pathological fractures and those associated with severe trauma were also excluded.
Prolia helps to protect your patients where they need it the most at the hip and other key sites 1 Results at 36 months. Primary endpoint: new radiographic vertebral fracture. 1 *All non-vertebral fractures. However, fractures of the skull, face, mandible, metacarpals, fingers or toes were excluded because they are not associated with decreased bone mineral density.
