Abstract

Factors associated with an inadequate response (IR) to bisphosphonates have been reported in many countries, but not in Japan, where the approved dose is half the global dose. We analyzed factors associated with IR to risedronate in Japanese patients with osteoporosis. This was a post hoc analysis of 1261 Japanese osteoporosis patients who received risedronate for 1 year in phase III trials. IR was defined as more than one new vertebral fracture (VF) and/or negative change in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) at 1 year. Various baseline and follow-up variables were examined for potential contribution to IR. Of the 1261 subjects, 118 exhibited an IR. At baseline, IR was associated with a higher BMD, lower levels of bone turnover markers (BTM) (serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, urinary N-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen and C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen), and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] below 16 ng/mL. BTM changes were blunted at 6 months in subjects with IR. On simple regression analysis, all the above variables and poor drug adherence were associated with an IR. On multivariate regression analysis, factors associated with IR were high BMD, vitamin D deficiency at baseline and low BTM at baseline, or a decreased BTM response at 6 months. Low serum 25(OH)D and BTM as well as high BMD at baseline were independent predictors of an IR to risedronate in Japan. These results emphasize the importance of the assessment of serum 25(OH)D and BTM in the management of osteoporosis with bisphosphonates.
