  • Phvwp Class Review Bisphosphonates and Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (Alendronic Acid, Clodronic Acid, Etidronic Acid, Ibandronic
    PhVWP Class Review Bisphosphonates and osteonecrosis of the jaw (alendronic acid, clodronic acid, etidronic acid, ibandronic acid, neridronic acid, pamidronic acid, risedronic acid, tiludronic acid, zoledronic acid), SPC wording agreed by the PhVWP in February 2006 Section 4.4 Pamidronic acid and zoledronic acid: “Osteonecrosis of the jaw has been reported in patients with cancer receiving treatment regimens including bisphosphonates. Many of these patients were also receiving chemotherapy and corticosteroids. The majority of reported cases have been associated with dental procedures such as tooth extraction. Many had signs of local infection including osteomyelitis. A dental examination with appropriate preventive dentistry should be considered prior to treatment with bisphosphonates in patients with concomitant risk factors (e.g. cancer, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, corticosteroids, poor oral hygiene). While on treatment, these patients should avoid invasive dental procedures if possible. For patients who develop osteonecrosis of the jaw while on bisphosphonate therapy, dental surgery may exacerbate the condition. For patients requiring dental procedures, there are no data available to suggest whether discontinuation of bisphosphonate treatment reduces the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw. Clinical judgement of the treating physician should guide the management plan of each patient based on individual benefit/risk assessment.” Remaining bisphosphonates: “Osteonecrosis of the jaw, generally associated with tooth extraction and/or local infection (including osteomyelits) has been reported in patients with cancer receiving treatment regimens including primarily intravenously administered bisphophonates. Many of these patients were also receiving chemotherapy and corticosteroids. Osteonecrosis of the jaw has also been reported in patients with osteoporosis receiving oral bisphophonates.

  • Efficacy and Safety of Elcatonin in Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis: a Systematic Review with Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials
    Osteoporosis International (2019) 30:1723–1732 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00198-019-04997-6 REVIEW Efficacy and safety of elcatonin in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis: a systematic review with network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials W.-C. Chen1,2 & E.-Y. Lin3 & Y.-N. Kang1,4 Received: 20 November 2018 /Accepted: 21 April 2019 /Published online: 1 May 2019 # International Osteoporosis Foundation and National Osteoporosis Foundation 2019 Abstract Summary The present systematic review aimed to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) change and complication rates of elcatonin on treating postmenopausal osteoporosis. The result confirmed efficacy of elcatonin and safety in combination thera- pies of elcatonin (C-E). Introduction Postmenopausal osteoporosis is an important issue in global aging trends. One treatment of osteoporosis is elcatonin, a kind of calcitonin. However, it has been challenged for long time because of safety. Many trials investigated on this topic, but they were designed differently. Those designs can be categorized in monotherapy of elcatonin (M-E) and C-E. Unfortunately, no synthesized evidence dealt this topic. Methods This study systematically identified target trials from six important databases and only included randomized controlled trial for synthesis. Two investigators assessed quality of eligible trials using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool, and they indepen- dently extracted data. Network meta-analysis performed Peto odds ratio (POR, used for dealing with zero cell) or weighted mean difference (WMD, for continuous data) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and consistency H. Results Sixteen trials recruiting 2754 women with postmenopausal osteoporosis were included in our study. Elcatonin therapies and non-elcatonin medications had comparable fracture rates and bone mineral density change.

  • June 2011 Circular No
    7 th June 2011 Circular No. P06/2011 Dear Healthcare Professional, Re: European Medicines Agency finalises review of bisphosphonates and atypical stress fractures Bisphosphonates have been authorised in the EU for hypercalcaemia and the prevention of bone problems in patients with cancer since the early 1990s. They have also been available since the mid 1990s for the treatment of osteoporosis and Paget’s disease of the bone. Bisphosphonates include alendronic acid, clodronic acid, etidronic acid, ibandronic acid, neridronic acid, pamidronic acid, risedronic acid, tiludronic acid and zoledronic acid. They are available in the EU as tablets and as solutions for infusion under various trade names and as generic medicines2. In 2008, the CHMP’s Pharmacovigilance Working Party (PhVWP) noted that alendronic acid was associated with an increased risk of atypical fracture of the femur (thigh bone) that developed with low or no trauma. As a result, a warning was added to the product information of alendronic acid-containing medicines across Europe. The PhVWP also concluded at the time that it was not possible to rule out the possibility that the effect could be a class effect (an effect common to all bisphosphonates), and decided to keep the issue under close review. In April 2010, the PhVWP noted that further data from both the published literature and post- marketing reports were now available that suggested that atypical stress fractures of the femur may be a class effect. The working party concluded that there was a need to conduct a further review to determine if any regulatory action was necessary.

Plain English Summary Bone turnover is the process of bone breakdown and renewal; under normal circumstances, these two parts of the process are balanced to ensure a constant bone density. If this balance is not maintained, bone structure, mass and strength may be altered. Osteoporosis is a disease in which bone mineral density is reduced as a result of increased bone breakdown and/or decreased bone renewal. Osteoporosis is thought to be responsible for 200,000 fractures every year, with broken wrists, hips and spinal bones the most common. The measurement of products in the blood or urine as a result of either bone breakdown or formation can be used to monitor bone turnover.
