Romosozumab is a bone-forming agent with a dual effect of increasing bone formation and decreasing bone resorption by inhibiting sclerostin. In the pivotal Fracture study in postmenopausal women with osteroposis(FRAME)and the extension trial, 12 months of romosozumab led to persistent fracture, especially new vertebral fracture, reduction benefit and ongoing BMD(bone mineral density)gains when follow 24 months of denosumab. The sequence therapy of romosozumab followed by denosumab may be a promising regimen for the treatment of osteoporosis.
