Abstract: Oral ALN for 2 yr in pediatric patients with OI significantly decreased bone turnover and increased spine areal BMD but was not associated with improved fracture outcomes.

“…The required size of the study population was calculated on the hypothesis that supplementation with oral vitamin D 3 would render lumbar spine areal BMD z-score changes equivalent to one fifth of those seen with oral bisphosphonate treatment (SD 1) [15]. Assuming a 20% dropout rate, an alpha error of 5% and a power of 80%, 60…”

“…Existing treatments largely provide symptomatic relief, but there is currently no cure. The gold standard bisphosphonates temporarily improve bone strength by inhibiting bone resorption, but they do not improve growth or bone pain beyond a year [5] and do not reduce fracture incidence long term [6].…”
