We evaluated input image type, registration method, segmentation mask, and for grayscale images various values for the voxel density difference considered formed or resorbed, minimum formation/resorption cluster size, and Gaussian smoothing sigma. We verified the accuracy of our method and then used it on longitudinal scans (baseline, 6, 12, 18 and 24 month) from 78 participants to assess bone formation and resorption induced by an anabolic (setrusumab) and anti-catabolic (zoledronic acid) treatments as part of the ASTEROID trial. Regardless of image registration method, binary input images resulted in large errors ~13% and ~ 8% for first- and second-generation scanners, respectively. For the grayscale input images, errors were smaller for 3D compared to matched angle registration. For both scanner generations, a density threshold of 200mgHA/cm3 combined with Gaussian noise reduction resulted in errors <1%. We verified the method was accurate by showing that similar regions of bone formation and resorption were identified when comparing each scan from the same-day repeated scans with a scan from another timepoint. Timelapse analysis revealed a dose-dependent increase in bone formation and resorption with setrusumab treatment. Zoledronic acid altered bone changes in favor of formation, although no changes reached statistical significance.

This is driven by increased osteoclastic bone resorption following the offset of RANKL inhibition, and sequential osteoclast-directed therapy has been utilised to mitigate this. However, current sequential treatment strategies intervene following the offset of RANKL inhibition and this approach fails to consistently prevent bone loss. Our previous work, using a mouse model of denosumab discontinuation, has shown that the processes that drive the rebound phenomenon occur earlier than when bone loss is detected, namely a rise and overshoot in serum TRAP. We identified that these changes in serum TRAP may provide an earlier window of opportunity to intervene with sequential therapy following RANKL inhibition withdrawal. Here, we show that early treatment with zoledronate (10 mg/kg, 3 weeks following the last dose of OPG:Fc), preceding the rise and overshoot in serum TRAP, effectively mitigates rebound bone density loss through preventing the overshoot in serum TRAP. Further, we show that multiple doses of zoledronate (early treatment and during anticipated BMD loss) is superior in consolidating bone density gains made with RANKL inhibition and preventing rebound BMD loss as measured by DXA. Importantly, we demonstrate the efficacy of early and multi-dose zoledronate strategy in preventing bone loss in both growing and skeletally mature mice. MicroCT analysis showed improved trabecular bone structure in both the femur and lumbar vertebrae with zoledronate treatment compared to control. These increases in bone mass translated to increased fracture resistance in skeletally mature mice.

Japanese patients aged ≥40 years, diagnosed with osteoporosis or experienced a fragility fracture, were admitted to medical facilities covered by a commercial administrative claims database, and newly prescribed romosozumab or bisphosphonates after the commercialization of romosozumab in Japan (March 4, 2019) were included based on verification of a 180-day washout period. Cardiovascular disease (myocardial infarction or stroke) was identified based on information regarding diagnosis, medical procedures, and drug codes.

Combining time-lapse (TL) analysis with high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) scans obtained over time allows for in vivo temporospatial bone remodeling assessment. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of applying TL HR-pQCT to assess and monitor local bone formation and resorption in patients with CKD. A customized TL HR-pQCT pipeline was developed on a second-generation HR-pQCT platform and optimized using ex vivo cadaveric phantom and in vivo scan-rescan HR-pQCT images. The annualized least significant change in bone formation and resorption were evaluated using in vivo longitudinal reproducibility images. Finally, the feasibility of the TL HR-pQCT pipeline in assessing and monitoring bone turnover was evaluated in patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD; n = 9). We found that a 2-month time-lapse period was sufficient for the TL HR-pQCT pipeline to reliably assess and monitor local bone turnover in a cohort of patients with ESKD. We also demonstrated the importance of characterizing TL HR-pQCT precision metrics using longitudinal baseline/follow-up rather than short-term scan-rescan datasets. The TL HR-pQCT pipeline assessed a range of bone formation metrics consistent with the gold standard histomorphometric bone formation reported in the literature for patients with CKD and ESKD.
