First seen Apr 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study tests whether a two-step drug treatment can improve bone density in people with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) who have bone loss below the injury level. Participants receive either romosozumab (a bone-building drug) or a placebo for 12 months, followed by denosumab (a bone-maintaining drug) for another 12 months. The goal is to see if this approach can safely increase and then preserve bone strength. The study involves 36 adults with long-term SCI.
