Background/Aim: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare disease caused by PHEX mutation, leading to elevated FGF23, renal phosphate wasting, hypophosphatemia, insufficient 1,25(OH)2D synthesis. Clinically, it manifests with rickets including leg deformities, poor growth, dental abscesses, craniosynostosis, and hearing loss. Beyond conventional treatment (phosphate supplements + active vitamin D), burosumab is pathogenetic anti-FGF23 therapeutic approa...

STOPFOP: A european phase II clinical trial using saracatinib to prevent FOP

Smilde Bernard , Keen Richard , Stockklausner Clemens , Liu Dong , Bullock Alex , Von Delft Annette , Van Schoor Natasja , Yu Paul , Eekhoff Elisabeth

Background: Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare, genetic and devastating disease characterized by progressive heterotopic ossifications (HO) in muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia. The formation of HO leads to severe contractures and early death. There are no approved medications yet. The STOPFOP team identified AZD0530 (saracatinib) as a potent, low nanomolar inhibitor of the mutant ALK2 kinase which is the unique genetic driver of this rare bone disease....

Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is characterized by an excessive secretion of the parathyroid hormone (PTH) with normal or high calcium levels. The gold standard therapy involves minimally invasive parathyroidectomy with intraoperative PTH (ioPTH) monitoring. Different criteria have been identified when predicting cure rates using ioPTH values.Objective: To evaluate the percent ioPTH drop (ΔioPTH), the post-excision ioPTH, the first p...

Loss of glucocorticoid rhythm induces an osteoporotic phenotype in mice

Introduction: Glucocorticoid (GC)-induced osteoporosis is a widespread problem that is accompanied with increased fracture risk. Currently, it is unknown whether detrimental effects of GC therapy on bone are simply the consequence of supraphysiological GC doses, or whether absence of the endogenous GC rhythm also plays a role. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the importance of the presence of a diurnal corticosterone (CORT) rhythm, the primary GC in mice, for bone quality....

Effect of nine months of vitamin D supplementation on areal and volumetric bone mass density and bone architecture in graves’ disease: a double-blinded, randomized clinical trial

Grove-Laugesen Diana , Ebbehoj Eva , Watt Torquil , Würgler Hansen Klavs , Rejnmark Lars

Background: Vitamin D is important to skeletal health and is standard care in conditions with low BMD. Thyrotoxicosis caused by Graves’ disease (GD) leads to increased bone turnover and reduced BMD. We aimed to test the hypothesis that vitamin D supplementation would improve bone recovery in GD.Methods: Using a double-blinded design, hyperthyroid patients with a first time diagnosis of GD were randomized to supplementation with vitamin D3 70 mg/day...

Superior efficacy of calcifediol soft gelatin capsules vs cholecalciferol independently of bmi, for the management of vitamin d deficiency in postmenopausal women: a treatment to be considered in therapeutic guidelines

Jódar Esteban , Pérez-Castrillón José Luis , Dueñas-Laita Antonio , Hernández Gonzalo , Fernández-Hernando Nieves , Arranz-Gutiérrez Paula

Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide health issue that affects more than one billion people. Few guidelines assess optimal dosing of vitamin D in general population, and although there is no international consensus, the optimum dosing for vitamin D3 and mainly calcifediol is not known.Objective(s): To assess the efficacy of calcifediol in the treatment of vitamin D deficiency, compared with therapeutic guidelines recommendations for cholecalci...

Surgery alone or surgery in combination with postoperative zoledronic acid for the treatment of osteoporosis in primary hyperparathyroidism: a 2-year double-blind randomized placebo-controlled study

Ryhänen Eeva , Koski Anna-Mari , Eliisa Loyttyniemi , Ulla Kiviniemi , Schalin-Jantti Camilla , Matti Välimäki

Background: Osteoporosis is common in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). It is also an indication for parathyroidectomy in PHPT. Bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) increases after successful surgery. Alendronate significantly increases BMD in PHPT patients not undergoing surgery. It is not known whether surgery alone or in combination with postoperative zoledronic acid more efficiently improves bone health in PHPT.<p class="abste...
