[Correspondence] Treatment duration for romosozumab
A recent study in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology evaluates whether a shortened, 3-month course of romosozumab followed by denosumab is as effective as the standard 12-month regimen for increasing bone mineral density (BMD). The investigators found that the shorter romosozumab sequence produced smaller, yet statistically non-inferior, BMD responses compared to the full-duration protocol. For a specialist managing the complex metabolic bone complications that frequently accompany advanced diabetes, this finding offers a potential strategy to optimize treatment duration and reduce patient burden without sacrificing clinically meaningful outcomes.
