Abstract
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disorder for which treatment options include antiresorptive therapies (e.g., bisphosphonates, denosumab); anabolics (e.g., teriparatide, abaloparatide); and dual mechanisms (e.g., romosozumab). Management of osteoporosis with concurrent antiresorptive and anabolic agents may be superior to monotherapy, as demonstrated in the DATA trial with the combination of denosumab and teriparatide. However, there is limited experience with the combination of denosumab and romosozumab, which may be an alternative antiresorptive/anabolic regimen for individuals who are not candidates for PTH receptor agonists. In this case, we present a young man with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis who could not tolerate a daily injectable anabolic and who experienced improvement in bone mineral density with concurrent denosumab and off-label romosozumab administration.
