Disclosure• No direct compensation from potentially conflicting entities
• Employed by New Mexico Clinical Research & Osteoporosis Center, which has received the following in the past one year:– Research grant support from Amgen, Radius, Mereo– Consulting and scientific advisory board fees from Amgen, Radius, Alexion,
Sandoz– Honoraria for service with speakers’ bureaus of Alexion, Radius– Support for project development with University of New Mexico
• Board positions with the ISCD, NOF, OFNM
• Guideline committees with ISCD, NOF, AACE
Objectives• Define indications for pharmacologic treatment of
osteoporosis• Describe mechanism of action for different drug classes
for treating osteoporosis• Determine strategies for selecting initial therapeutic
agents and changing therapy• Apply methods for understanding and explaining to
patients the balance of benefits and risks with treatment
2
Osteoporosis• A skeletal disorder characterized by
compromised bone strength predisposing to an increased risk of fracture
• Bone strength reflects the integration of two main features: bone density and bone quality (e.g., architecture, turnover, damage accumulation, mineralization)

DXA Measures Bone Density
DXA = Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry
WHO Classification of BMDT-score
Normal -1.0 or higherOsteopenia Between -1.0 and -2.5
Osteoporosis -2.5 or lowerSevere Osteoporosis -2.5 or lower + fragility fracture
WHO Study Group 1994. ISCD Official Positions. 2015.
Applies to peri- and postmenopausal women, and men age 50 and older. Cannot be used in premenopausal women and men under age 50. Should never be used in children (under age 20). T-score ≤ -2.5 is not always osteoporosis. A patient may have osteoporosis with a T-score > -2.5.
3
More About T-scores• T-score ≤ -2.5 is not always osteoporosis
– Osteomalacia– Invalid measurement (e.g., laminectomy)
• T-score > -2.5 may be osteoporosis– Fracture– High fracture probability (FRAX)
• Many risk factures for fracture other than T-score– Especially advancing age and previous fracture– Also family history, smoking, glucocorticoids, RA, AIs, ADT, etc.
• Correlation between T-score and fracture risk is a gradient, not a threshold
DXA Measures Bone Quality (TBS)
TBS = Trabecular Bone Score
Bone Density Bone Quality

Osteoporosis: Good News• Improving awareness• Excellent diagnostic tools• Fracture risk assessment algorithms• Effective and safe treatments• Inexpensive generic drugs• Better understanding of pathogenesis• Federal initiatives to improve care
Osteoporosis: Bad News• Underdiagnosis and undertreatment• Poor adherence to therapy• Poor understanding of risk/benefit ratio• Restrictions on coverage of BMD testing, drugs, vitamin
D testing, bone turnover markers • Severely diminished drug pipeline • DXA quality concerns• Medicare cuts in DXA reimbursement

You order a DXA for Ann. The report states:Lumbar spine T-score = -2.8, osteoporosis, fracture risk is highFemoral neck T-score = -2.1, osteopenia, fracture risk is
moderate33% radius T-score = - 0.9, normal, fracture risk is low
The correct diagnosis is …A. OsteoporosisB. OsteopeniaC. NormalD. All of the above
Fracture risk is …A. HighB. ModerateC. LowD. All of the above
3 Ways to Diagnose Osteoporosis• BMD testing (WHO, ISCD)
– T-score ≤ -2.5 at LS, TH, FN, or 33%R
• Fragility fracture (NBHA)– Low trauma hip fracture regardless of BMD– Low trauma vertebral, proximal humerus, pelvis or some distal
forearm fractures with T-score between -1.0 and -2.5
• FRAX (NBHA, USA only)– MOF risk ≥ 20% or HF risk ≥ 3%
WHO Technical Report. 1994; ISCD Official Positions. 2015.NBHA Report. Siris ES et al. Osteoporos Int. 2014;25:1439-1443.

NOF Treatment Guidelines
Osteoporosis by T-score
• T-score -2.5 or less at FN, TH, or LS, or . . .
Clinical Osteoporosis
• Hip or vertebral (clinical or morphometric) fracture, or . . .
Low BMD + High Fx Risk
• T-score between -1.0 and -2.5 at FN, TH, or LS, and . . .
• FRAX 10-year probability of hip fracture ≥ 3% or major osteoporotic fracture ≥ 20%
For postmenopausal women and men age 50 and older, after appropriate evaluation for secondary causes
National Osteoporosis Foundation. Clinician’s Guide to Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis. 2014.
Universal Recommendations• Regular weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening
physical activity• Falls prevention• Avoid tobacco use and excess alcohol• Identification and treatment of risk factors for fracture• Calcium 1000-1200 mg/day, ideally from diet• Vitamin D 800-1000 IU/day, target ≥ 30 ng/mL

Pharmacological TherapyInhibit Bone Resorption
(Antiresorptive)Stimulate Bone Formation
(Anabolic)Alendronate (Fosamax, generic) Teriparatide (Forteo)Risedronate (Actonel, Atelvia, generic) Abaloparatide (Tymlos)Ibandronate (Boniva, generic)Zoledronate (Reclast, generic)Denosumab (Prolia)Raloxifene (Evista, generic)Salmon Calcitonin (Miacalcin, generic)Estrogen (various)CE/Baxedoxifene (Duavee)
All of these can increase BMD, improve bone strength, and reduce fracture risk.Only anabolic agents can build new bone and restore degraded bone structure.Anabolic agents are superior to antiresorptives for high risk patients.

Progression of Osteoporosis
Anabolic vs. Antiresorptive Therapy
Treatment Sequence Matters• Anabolic therapy superior to antiresorptive for fracture risk reduction in high
risk patients
– GIO, TPT vs. ALN. Saag KG et al. N Engl J Med. 2007;357:2028-2039.
– Severe PMO, TPT vs. ALN. Hadji P et al. Osteoporos Int. 2012;23:2141-2150.
– Severe PMO, TPT vs. RIS. Kendler DL et al. Lancet. 2017;S0140-6736(17)32137-2.
– Severe PMO, Romo vs. ALN. Saag KG et al. N Engl J Med. 2017;377:1417-1427.
• Potent antiresorptive therapy before anabolic may attenuate or delay onset of effect (hip BMD decrease with teriparatide after denosumab)
• Antiresorptive therapy after anabolic is essential to consolidate or enhance therapeutic effect
Cosman F et al. J Bone Miner Res. 2017;32:198-202.
Sequence of Osteoporosis TherapyAntiresorptive Anabolic
Anabolic Antiresorptive
Anabolic Anabolic
Antiresorptive Antiresorptive
Delay or attenuation of anabolic effect;decreased BMD with TPT after Dmab
Antiresorptive is essential after anabolic; initial therapy with anabolic is best choice for high risk patients
Probably neutral
Greater BMD effect with more robust antiresorptive, especially Dmab after BP

Individualizing Initial TreatmentAgent Comments
Oral bisphosphonates Pro: inexpensive, work well in many patientsCon: GI distress, avoid with low GFR, bad rep in lay press
Zoledronic acid Pro: very long dosing interval, post-hip fracture data Con: acute phase reaction, avoid with low GFR, IV
Denosumab Pro: long dosing interval, greatest BMD increase, SCCon: FDA list of “side effects” (back pain, high cholesterol, etc.)
Raloxifene Pro: not a BP, decreases breast cancer riskCon: VTE, hot flashes, no proven hip fracture decrease
Teriparatide Pro: anabolic [SEQUENCE MATTERS]Con: high cost, daily injection, refrigeration, rat osteosarcoma
Abaloratide Pro: anabolic [SEQUENCE MATTERS]Con: high cost, daily injection, rat osteosarcoma
Personal opinion.
• Initiate therapy with medication that has high likelihood of achieving an acceptable level of fracture risk
• Response to therapy is essential but not necessarily sufficient
• Patient may respond well but remain at high risk of fracture• For patient started on treatment because of T-score ≤ -2.5,
consider target > 2.0• Greater increase in BMD are associated with greater
reduction in fracture risk

Consider “Drug Holiday” for Postmenopausal Women Treated with Oral BP ≥ 5 Years or IV BP ≥ 3 Years
• Low fracture risk: hip T-score > -2.5 and no hip, spine, or multiple osteoporotic fracture before or during therapy– Consider drug holiday of 2-3 years
• High fracture risk: hip T-score ≤ -2.5 or hip, spine, or multiple osteoporotic fracture before or during therapy– Consider continuing oral BP up to 10 years and IV BP up to 6
years
14
No Holiday with Other Osteoporosis Medications
Stopping non-bisphosphonate (estrogen, raloxifene, denosumab, teriparatide, abaloparatide) is followed by rapid loss of effect.
Fracture Liaison Service (FLS)
• Secondary fracture prevention by systematic identification and management
of fracture patients
• Objectives
– Assess risk of future fractures
– Evaluate for factors contributing to skeletal fragility
– Educate about skeletal health
– Assure that treatment to reduce fracture risk is started, if needed
– Monitor to see that objectives are achieved
• Key person: FLS coordinator - CNP or discharge planner
• Technology: patient registry, task tracker, quality measures, etc.

When to Refer to an Osteoporosis Specialist
• Low trauma fracture with normal BMD• Recurrent fractures or continuing bone loss despite
treatment• Unexpectedly severe osteoporosis (e.g., very low BMD in
young patient)• Uncommon features (e.g., low alk phos, low P) • Uncommon secondary causes (e.g., bariatric surgery, celiac
disease)• Complicating conditions (e.g., CKD, hyperpara)
