Data Sources: An English-language search of PubMed and Medline (1966 to August 2020) was conducted using the keywords romosozumab, sclerostin inhibitor, AMG785, and osteoporosis. Manufacturer prescribing information, abstracts, fda.gov, and ClinicalTrials.gov data were incorporated for additional materials. In addition, a review of bibliographies of retrieved articles was performed to identify additional references. Study Selection\/Data Extraction: Articles selected included those that described clinical studies of pharmacokinetics, efficacy, or safety of romosozumab. Data Synthesis: Romosozumab is a human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the action of sclerostin and is the first agent in its class to reach Phase III trials. Significant increases in bone mineral density and decreases in vertebral and hip fractures are demonstrated in Phase III trials. Favorable results led to its marketing approval in several countries. Major adverse cardiac events were observed in one clinical trial. Other adverse effects include arthralgia, headache, and injection site reactions. Place in Therapy: Romosozumab is the first agent to inhibit bone resorption and stimulate bone formation. Romosozumab should be reserved for postmenopausal women at highest risk for fracture and should be followed by an anti-resportive agent to maintain or further increase bone mineral density. This injectable agent should not be considered for women with a history of or at high risk of cardiovascular disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/8755122520967632","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,23]],"date-time":"2020-10-23T09:08:21Z","timestamp":1603444101000},"page":"45-52","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Romosozumab: A Novel Agent in the Treatment for Postmenopausal Osteoporosis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1479-2902","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shannon A.","family":"Miller","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Florida, Orlando, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5404-2906","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erin Lyn","family":"St. Onge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Florida, Orlando, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karen L.","family":"Whalen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-8755122520967632","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4158\/EP161435.GL"},{"key":"bibr2-8755122520967632","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
