Update on Bone Anabolics in Osteoporosis Treatment: Rationale, Current Status, and Perspectives
Open accessAbstract
Osteoporosis is defined as low bone mineral density associated with skeletal fractures secondary to minimal or no trauma, most often involving the spine, the hip, and the forearm. The decrease in bone mineral density is the consequence of an unbalanced bone remodeling process, with higher bone resorption than bone formation. Osteoporosis affects predominantly postmenopausal women, but also older men. This chronic disease represents a considerable medical and socioeconomic burden for modern societies. The therapeutic options for the treatment of osteoporosis have so far comprised mostly antiresorptive drugs, in particular bisphosphonates and more recently denosumab, but also calcitonin and, for women, estrogens or selective estrogen receptor modulators. These drugs have limitations, however, in particular the fact that they lead to a low turnover state where bone formation decreases with the decrease in bone-remodeling activity. In this review, we discuss the alternative class of osteoporosis drugs, i.e. bone anabolics, their biology, and the perspectives they offer for our therapeutic armamentarium. We focus on the two main osteoanabolic pathways identified as of today: PTH, the only anabolic drug currently on the market; and activation of canonical Wnt signaling through inhibition of the endogenous inhibitors sclerostin and dickkopf1. Each approach is based on a different molecular mechanism, but most recent evidence suggests that these two pathways may actually converge, at least in part. Whereas recombinant human PTH treatment is being revisited with different formulations and attempts to regulate endogenous PTH secretion via the calcium-sensing receptor, antibodies to sclerostin and dickkopf1 are currently in clinical trials and may prove to be even more efficient at increasing bone mass, possibly independent of bone turnover. Each of these anabolic approaches has its own limitations and safety issues, but the prospects of effective anabolic therapy for osteoporosis are indeed bright.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
