Summary

This trial is testing a new osteoporosis treatment in premenopausal women to see if it is more effective than the current standard of care.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for premenopausal women aged 18-48 with idiopathic osteoporosis, regular menstrual cycles, and no secondary cause of bone loss. Participants must have had low-trauma fractures and a T-score or Z-score ≤ -1.5 at certain bone sites. They should agree to highly effective contraception during the study.

What is being tested?

The study tests if romosozumab improves bone mass in premenopausal women with osteoporosis better than teriparatide does. It involves giving participants romosozumab monthly for a year followed by denosumab every six months for another year, comparing their results to historical controls.

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects include reactions at the injection site, muscle pain, headache, joint pain, and possibly increased risk of heart problems or stroke. There's also a concern about potential harm to bones like unusual fractures.

Dr. Cohen has been extremely helpful, especially given the complexity of my condition. I never feel rushed during our appointments and appreciate how willing she is to help me understand my options. I would recommend her to anyone.
