Effect of Anti-osteoporotic Medications on Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Nonalcoholic Fatty LiverOsteoporosis1 moreNonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic, metabolic liver disease that is closely related to obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a bidirectional mode. NAFLD affects approximately 25% of the worldwide population. NAFLD refers to a phenotypic spectrum, including steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis, which can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in a minority of patients. However, despite its high prevalence, morbidity and mortality, as well as the extensive research in the field, there is not to-date a licensed medication specifically for NAFLD. Emerging evidence supports a potential association between NAFLD and osteoporosis; the prevalence of osteoporosis is probably higher in patients with NAFLD and, vise versa, the prevalence of NAFLD may be higher in patients with osteoporosis. In this context, it has been proposed that certain medications for osteoporosis may also prove to be beneficial to NAFLD. Denosumab, a human monoclonal IgG2 antibody against the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL), is currently an established treatment for osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases. The axis RANKL-receptor activator of nuclear factor NF-κB (RANK)-osteoprotegerin (OPG) has been demonstrated as a key regulator of bone metabolism and, when dysregulated, it contributes to the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases. Interestingly, experimental studies have shown that circulating and hepatic RANKL may be upregulated in mice with diet-induced NAFLD, rendering RANKL a potential contributor to the pathogenesis of NAFLD, and ideally, a promising pharmacological target. On the other hand, bisphosphonates, another established, first-line treatment for osteoporosis, are expected to have no significant effect on hepatic metabolism in patients with NAFLD due to their pharmacokinetics and mechanism of action. This is a prospective non-randomized study which aims to investigate the comparative effect of denosumab versus bisphosphonates on hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis and concomitant NAFLD.
Denosumab Biosimilar Injection in Post Menopausal Women With Osteoporosis
OsteoporosisPostmenopausalDenosumab of Intas is biosimilar denosumab candidate under development by Intas Pharmaceutical Limited (Biopharma Division). Denosumab of Intas is already approved by Indian drug licensing authority- Drug Controller General (India) for marketing in Indian population since 2018.As per regulatory requirement, a comparative clinical study to establish Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacodynamic and Immunogenicity equivalence is required to conclude therapeutic equivalence to obtain marketing authorization of a biosimilar investigational product. This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active controlled study in approximately 552postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. An extension of the study is planned after completion of the initial 1 year of treatment. This extension is with the objective of submitting data on safety, and Immunogenicity, after switching of Prolia treatment arm to either Prolia or Intas denosumab for 6 months. This switching data is applicable only for FDA submission. Only patients who have undergone PK assessment will be eligible for the extension phase.

Treatment With Zoledronate Subsequent to Denosumab in Osteoporosis 2
OsteoporosisPostmenopausalThe aims of ZOLARMAB2 are fourfold. First, the investigators want to investigate if multiple infusions of zoledronate can prevent the rebound activation of bone turnover and the subsequent bone loss in patients previously treated with denosumab and if there is difference between infusing zoledronate at fixed time-points after the last injection of denosumab or when bone turnover is increased. Second, the investigators want to investigate if bone loss will resume after controlling the rebound activation of bone turnover during the first year after denosumab discontinuation and if this can be prevented by yearly infusions of zoledronate. Third, the investigators want to investigate the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms by investigating biochemical markers, osteoclast and osteoblast activation signals in the bone and bone marrow, and the pool of preosteoclasts/mature osteoclasts before and after treatment with zoledronate. Fourth, the investigators want to investigate the effect of denosumab discontinuation on muscle mass and muscle strength and on insulin sensitivity.
