Amgen announced new data from a real-world study of nearly half of a million postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in the US showing Prolia® (denosumab) injection reduced fracture risk in patients versus oral alendronate, a frequently prescribed bisphosphonate treatment. Treatment with Prolia® was also associated with greater reductions in fracture risk over time.
The data were presented during an oral presentation at the World Congress on Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases (WCO-IOF-ESCEO), in Barcelona, May 4-7, 2023.
