Patient preference for monthly bisphosphonate versus weekly bisphosphonate in a cluster-randomized, open-label, crossover trial: Minodroate Alendronate/Risedronate Trial in Osteoporosis (MARTO)

Abstract: Minodronate is a potent nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate that can be administered according to a monthly (every 4 weeks) dosing regimen. A 6-month, cluster-randomized, open-label, multicenter, crossover trial was conducted to test the preference of Japanese patients with osteoporosis for monthly bisphosphonate versus weekly bisphosphonate. One hundred and forty-seven patients (postmenopausal women and men) with primary osteoporosis were recruited at eight outpatient clinics. The clinics were randomized into … Show more

“…This profoundly alters its properties in terms of reducing its mineral binding with a modest reduction in its IC 50 on FPPS. MIN has emerged as probably the most potent bisphosphonate to be approved for clinical use by this FPPS measure, but is only used in Japan . This illustrates how apparently small differences in chemical structure can produce large changes in pharmacological properties, as has been observed with many other apparently closely related bisphosphonates.…”

“…In Japan, monthly oral formulation for minodronate was launched in 2011 and risedronate in 2013. A recent study showed a strong patient preference for and convenience of a monthly bisphosphonate regimen over a weekly bisphosphonate regimen among Japanese patients with osteoporosis [ 31 ]. Visiting hospitals or clinics to receive an intravenous injection or drip of a bisphosphonate monthly may improve treatment adherence.…”

“…Exploratory research has shown general trends toward preference for less frequent dosing, although there is some variability in these findings depending on population, type of therapy, and the disease and symptoms being treated. 30,[45][46][47][48][49][50] Reducing the frequency of dosing has been shown to improve patient adherence to the treatment plan, 51 with no compromise on patient QOL. Thus, evaluating PNH patient preference for eculizumab and ravulizumab and their respective dosing frequencies is important for understanding and improving the PNH patient treatment experience.…”

“…Eleven patient preference questionnaires that most closely aligned with the objectives of this project were identified from the literature; [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] however, none of them evaluated patient preference and dosing schedules in a manner suitable for our aims. After reviewing the literature and the 11 questionnaires, the following concepts were identified as potentially relevant to our measure: symptom relief; effectiveness; ease of use/convenience/bother; impact on daily life; and medication preference.…”
