LEARNING OBJECTIVES: At the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to Characterize the pathophysiology of osteoporosis Identify the clinical diagnosis of osteoporosis Summarize treatment and prevention options Objectives
3
Pre Quiz Question 1 of 5 Who needs to be treated for osteoporosis? (Choose one) T-score between -1.00 to -2.5 at femoral neck, total hip or spine AND a FRAX score showing 10-yr probability of hip fracture ≥ 3% or any major osteoporosis-related fracture ≥ 20% (FRAX) a) 10-yr probability of hip fracture ≥ 2% or any major osteoporosis-related fracture ≥ 20% b) 10-yr probability of hip fracture ≥ 2% or any major osteoporosis-related fracture ≥ 10% c) 10-yr probability of hip fracture ≥ 3% or any major osteoporosis-related fracture ≥ 20% d) 10-yr probability of hip fracture ≥ 3% or any major osteoporosis-related fracture ≥ 30%
4
Pre Quiz Question 2 of 5 Which of the following may be interpreted as improved state of bone turnover after treatment for osteoporosis? (Choose one) a)A T-score of -1.5 in the spine b)Suppression of urine NTX c)Improved DXA acquired BMD in both spine and femoral neck regions d)Suppressed levels of bone formation and resorption markers
5
Pre Quiz Question 3 of 5 Which of the following would indicate treatment failure, or need to consider alternate treatment for osteoporosis? a)BMD improved 1% since last DXA done 2 years ago b)Fracture of femoral shaft while being treated with bisphosphonate for 5 years c)Increased levels of bone markers since last measure a year ago d)Femoral neck BMD did not change since last DXA 2 years ago
6
Pre Quiz Question 4 of 5 An 80 year old Caucasian woman with dementia, falls and right hip fracture (1 year ago) while being on bisphosphonate, was referred for evaluation and treatment of osteoporosis. She had a mastectomy, followed by chemotherapy for breast cancer at age 66 and has been cancer free since then. Which of the following would be the best treatment option for her at this time? (Choose one) a) Ibandronate b) Calcitonin c) Teriparatide d) Denosumab
7
Pre Quiz Question 5 of 5 Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) is one of the first options for osteoporosis treatment. a)True b)False
8
Today’s Outline Pathophysiology Diagnosis Treatment Prevention
9
Normal Bone Remodeling Sequence Resorption = Formation No change in bone mass Pathogenesis of Osteoporosis LEGEND: LC = Lining Cells CL = Cement Line OS = Osteoid BRU = Bone Remodeling Unit Osteoclast Precursor Osteoclast Osteoblast Precursors Osteoblast Mononuclear Cells
10
Net bone loss Unbalanced Remodeling and Osteoporosis Resorption > Formation Influencers: Inadequate calcium or vitamin D Menopause Aging Medications or diseases
11
High Bone Turnover State Unbalanced Remodeling Osteoporosis Basic Pathology Normal Bone Structure Osteoporotic Bone Structure
12
Left hip A T- score of <-2.5 for BMD - considered osteoporosis Lumber spine Clinical Diagnosis of Osteoporosis
13
FormationResorption Serum osteocalcin Serum bone specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) Serum pro-collagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide (P1NP) Serum C-terminal cross- linking telopeptide of type I collages (CTX) Urine N-terminal cross- linking telopeptide of type I collagen (NTX) 2 nd void sample in the AM Bone Markers
14
DXA Acquired BMD Stable or improved BMD Loss of BMD <%CV showing no significant change over mechanical drift from QA report for DXA machine Monitoring Treatment Success Bone Markers Suppression of Bone markers Both formation and resorption markers
15
Hx of hip fracture Other prior fractures and T-score between -1.0 to -2.5 at femoral neck, total hip or spine T-score ≤-2.5 at femoral neck, total hip or spine T-score between -1.0 to -2.5 at femoral neck, total hip or spine AND secondary cause ↑ risk of fracture Steroid use, total immobilization T-score between -1.0 to -2.5 at femoral neck, total hip or spine AND 10-yr probability of hip fracture ≥ 3% or any major osteoporosis-related fracture ≥ 20% (FRAX) Who Needs to be Treated?
16
Treatment Options Bisphosphonates Oral Alendronate 10 mg daily or 70 mg weekly Risedronate 5 mg daily or 35 mg weekly or 150 mg/mo Ibandronate 150 mg/mo Intravenous Zoledronic acid 5 mg/yr Calcitonin Short-term for pain after vertebral fracture Teriparatide 20 mcg sq daily Recombinant human PTH (not >2 yrs) Contra-indicated in cancer patients Denosumab 60 mcg sc/q 6 Humanized monoclonal antibody Usually as a 2 nd agent Calcium (1200-1500 mg) + vitamin D (800-1000 IU daily)
17
Adverse events ( mainly Bisphosphonates) Atypical fracture Jaw necrosis Severe GERD/gastritis or GI bleed Unimproved BMD despite treatment (reassess risk and check bone markers) Fracture while being on tx Intervention Drug holiday Monitor with DXA/2 yrs Monitor bone markers/yr Alternate options Switch to other agents ACEI/ARB* showed promise in observations studies – research continues Adverse Effects or Treatment Failure and Alternate Tx Options
18
Testosterone If hypogonadism is the cause of osteoporosis Hormones as Treatment Options SERM Raloxifene – not commonly used because it increases risk of DVT Estrogen/Progestin Not encouraged due to increased risk of breast cancer, stroke, DVT and coronary diseases
19
Weight bearing exercise Stimulates bone formation 2.5 to 4 hours/week of moderate to severe intensity physical activity* Calcium and Vitamin D Regular supplemental required dose Non-skeletal Environmental/Behavioral Fall prevention Improve balance and gait- PT/OT Smoking cessation Avoid risk level alcohol use Avoid flexion in patients with risk of or hx of vertebral fracture FLS (Fracture Liaison Services) network within the clinic, or group of providers Prevention
20
Osteoporosis is a progressive metabolic bone disease that decreases bone density with deterioration of bone structure Diagnosis = T- score of <-2.5 for BMD Prevention and treatment should take comprehensive approach Take Home Message
