Abstract
Background: In Japan, daily, twice weekly, and weekly formulations of teriparatide (TPD) and monthly formulations of romosozumab (ROMO) are available as osteogenesis promoters for the treatment of osteoporosis with a high risk for fracture.
Objective: To compare the effects of three TPD preparations and ROMO on fracture healing and low back pain after a fresh vertebral fracture.
Methods: This was a retrospective observational study. Patients presenting with fresh osteoporotic vertebral fractures were treated subcutaneously with TPD daily (DTPD), twice weekly (2/WTPD), weekly (WTPD), or with ROMO monthly. Bone union, vertebral height changes, and low back pain in the injured vertebra were compared after 6 months of treatment.
Results: Bone union and pain improvement were more frequent among those who received daily and twice weekly administration of TPD compared with those who received WTPD and ROMO administration. A comparison for multiplicity between the groups using the Steel-Dwass test showed significant differences between the DTPD and ROMO groups (p = 0.0029) and WTPD and ROMO groups (p = 0.0490), suggesting superior bone fusion in the DTPD and WTPD groups. Similarly, significant differences were noted between the DTPD and ROMO groups (p = 0.0001), WTPD and ROMO groups (p = 0.0341), and 2/WTPD and ROMO groups (p = 0.0009), indicating a higher degree of pain improvement in the DTPD, WTPD, and 2/WTPD groups compared with that in the ROMO group.
Conclusions: Daily, weekly, and twice-weekly administration of TPD may be superior to ROMO for promoting fresh vertebral fracture healing.
