Can a tailored infusion schedule prevent fractures after stopping denosumab?
NCT ID NCT06767150
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at women with postmenopausal osteoporosis who have been on denosumab for at least two years and are now stopping it. Stopping denosumab can cause a rapid bone loss and increase fracture risk. The trial compares two strategies using zoledronic acid infusions: one where the second infusion is given based on a blood test (crosslaps levels), and another where it is given at a fixed time. The goal is to see which approach better maintains bone density after one year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- zoledronic acid (ZOL)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a safer way to stop denosumab without losing bone density or increasing fracture risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 200 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The personalized approach may not outperform standard care.
