The study was aimed at monitoring vertebral bodies changes with the use of Vertebral Fracture Assessment (VFA) in children and adolescents affected by osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) during treatment with intravenous neridronate. 60 children and adolescents (35 males and 25 females; age 1-16years) with OI type I, III and IV were included in the study. Intravenous neridronate was administered at the dose of 2mg/kg every 3months in all patients. Lumbar spine (LS) bone mineral density (BMD) and VFA by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were assessed every 6months up to 24months during treatment. VFA with vertebral morphometry (MXA) was used to calculate the three indices of vertebral deformity: wedging, concavity and crushing. Serum calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25-hydroxy-vitamin D [25(OH)D], total alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) and urinary C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTx) were measured at any time point. Mean LS BMD values significantly increased at 24months compared to baseline (p<0.0001); the corresponding Z-score values were -1.28±1.23 at 24months vs -2.46±1.25 at baseline; corresponding mean Bone Mineral Apparent Density (BMAD) values were 0.335±0.206 vs 0.464±0.216. Mean serum levels of ALP, BALP and CTx significantly decreased from baseline to 24months. By MXA, we observed a significant 19.1% reduction of the mean wedging index of vertebral reshaping at 12months, and 38.4% at 24months (p<0.0001) and of the mean concavity index (16.3% at 12months and 35.9% at 24months; p<0.0001). Vertebral reshaping was achieved for 66/88 (75%) wedge fractures and 59/70 (84%) concave fractures, but there were 4 incident mild fractures. Finally, VF rate was reduced at 24months compared to baseline: 37/710 (5.2%) vs 158/710 (22.2%). Our study demonstrates the utility of VFA as a safe and alternative methodology in the follow-up of children and adolescents with OI.
