Antiresorptive PTH  Pre-treatment with antiresorptives followed by PTH Antiresorptive 2. + PTH • Key clinical question • Many patients on bisphosphonates PTH Antiresorptive 3. and other antiresorptives PTH following bisphosphonates Combination #2 Anabolic effect still evident and strong if Antiresorptive patient had been taking an + PTH antiresorptive before switching to PTH  Concurrent initiation of PTH plus • Magnitude somewhat delayed and/or antiresorptive in treatment naïve women blunted compared to treatment-naïve pts • PTH+alendronate • PTH+zoledronic acid • PTH+denosumab - Page 5

Conclusions • Substantial literature about combination • PTH followed by nothing will result in loss therapy, but no fracture outcomes of most, if not all, BMD gains • Sequential antiresorptive then PTH: Still see • Bisphosphonates seem to add to BMD increases in formation, BMD with PTH gains –May be slightly delayed/blunted • Follow PTH with some sort of • If using PTH, probably best to use alone antiresorptive therapy –Or with DMAB ($$$) • PTH followed by antiresorptive seems to maximize BMD gains Page 10

  11. Future of anabolic therapy • Cyclic PTH? (e.g., 3- or 6-mo at a time?) • Other forms of and delivery methods for PTH (e.g., PTHrP, transdermal PTH) in development • Anabolics with other mechanisms of action –Anti-sclerostin Ab Page 11
