Denosumab: What’s New?

Abstract: Denosumab is the first fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the formation, function, and survival of osteoclasts by blocking the interaction of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (RANK) ligand with its osteoclastic receptor RANK. Clinical studies have shown that the decreased bone resorption and increased bone mineral density resulting from the use of denosumab 60 mg twice yearly entail significant risk reduction of vertebral, hip, and nonvertebral fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporo… Show more

“…It can be used in patients regardless of renal function level, but transient hypocalcemia is more common in patients with severe renal failure. 381 Odanacatib is part of an emerging treatment category and is a cathepsin K inhibitor that interferes with an enzyme pathway in osteoclasts important for bone resorption but does not appear to have an effect on bone formation rates. Odanacatib, given by pill once weekly, causes osteoclasts to stop resorbing bone but does not cause the osteoclast to undergo apoptosis.…”

“…Antiangiogenic medication is used mainly in the treatment of gastrointestinal, renal and neuro-endocrine malignancies [4]. The RANKL inhibitor (denosumab) is an antiresorptive agent used to treat osteoporosis or to relieve symptoms of bone metastatic disease [5,6]. Generally, bisphosphonates are well tolerated, but some adverse effects are also reported: renal toxicity, atrial fibrillation, skin and inflammatory ocular reactions, musculoskeletal pain, gastrointestinal irritation, atypical femoral fractures, and last but not least osteonecrosis of the jaw [7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…11 Clinically, Dmab has less severe adverse effects, such as gastrointestinal tract ulceration or kidney dysfunction, when compared with BPs. 9 In the human RANKL knock-in mice model, it was demonstrated that Dmab treatment resulted in >95% reduction in serum tartrateresistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-5b in as early as 7 days, 12 indicating that Dmab significantly inhibits the formation of mature osteoclasts in vivo.…”
