Although denosumab (Dmab) is a potent bone resorption inhibitor, its efficacy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus has not been elucidated. In this study, we investigated the effects of switching to Dmab from bisphosphonates (BP) or a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) in postmenopausal type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Materials and Methods This was a three medical institutions, prospective, observational study for postmenopausal patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus whose T‐score of femoral neck or lumbar spine bone mineral density was under -1.0 standard deviation, even after >6 months of BP or SERM administration. After obtaining consent, participants were treated for osteopenia/osteoporosis by either continuing BP (BP‐BP group)/SERM (SERM‐SERM group), or by switching to Dmab (BP‐Dmab or SERM‐Dmab groups). Changes in bone mineral density and bone metabolism marker levels were evaluated after 6 months. Results A total of 48 patients were included in this study, and each group comprised 12 patients. No significant difference existed in baseline characteristics among the groups. The average age and glycated hemoglobin were 71 ± 8 years and 7.2 ± 0.9%, respectively. In the SERM‐Dmab group, lumbar spine bone mineral density was significantly increased by 5.0% compared with the SERM‐SERM group (P < 0.04). Serum bone‐specific alkaline phosphatase and tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase 5b were significantly decreased in the BP‐Dmab and SERM‐Dmab groups compared with the BP‐BP and SERM‐SERM groups, respectively. Conclusions Switching to Dmab from BP or SERM is beneficial to prevent osteoporosis progression in postmenopausal patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.John Wiley & SonsJournal Articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/82880https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/82880/2/JDI%2012%201293-1300.pdf2040-11162040-1124Journal of Diabetes Investigation127129313002021-07-08enginfo:doi/10.1111/jdi.13458http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/publisher
