Cancer Treatment-Induced Bone Loss (CTIBL) • The normal age-related decline in estrogen androgen levels

Cancer Treatment-Induced Bone Loss (CTIBL) • The normal age-related decline in estrogen androgen levels is associated with BONE LOSS • Hormone ablation therapy as part of a Breast or Prostate Cancer Treatment regimen is associated with increased bone loss and fracture risk. • Chemotherapy Treatments as an indirect effect induces hypogonadism which causes hormone ablation with a decline in estrogen androgen levels.

OSTEOPOROSIS • OSTEOPOROSIS is a common disease • OSTEOPOROSIS compromises bone strength and predisposes

OSTEOPOROSIS • OSTEOPOROSIS is a common disease • OSTEOPOROSIS compromises bone strength and predisposes persons to increased risk of fracture Normal • Bone strength reflects the integration of bone density and bone quality “Osteoporosis is one of the most common and debilitating chronic diseases, and a global healthcare problem. ” National Osteoporosis Foundation “Osteoporosis has financial, physical, and psychosocial consequences, all of which significantly affect the individual, the family, and the community. ” NIH Consensus Statement Boyle WJ, et al.

Androgen deprivation therapy • The goal of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) is to reduce levels of androgens (testosterone or DHT) 1 – By removing the growth signals, the spread of prostate cancer cells is prevented • ADT includes – Surgical castration (orchiectomy) – Therapy with luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists and antagonists – Complete androgen blockade (CAB) • ADT increases bone resorption, reduces bone mineral density (BMD), and increases fracture risk in men with prostate cancer 2 -5 1 Sharifi N, et al.

Rationale for Treating AIBL With Bisphonates • • • Maintaining bone health reduces fracture

Rationale for Treating AIBL With Bisphonates • • • Maintaining bone health reduces fracture risk and subsequent risk of death AIBL is more rapid than normal postmenopausal bone loss 1, 2 Effective bone-targeted treatment, such as bisphonates, may be required to prevent substantial bone loss – Bisphonates may additionally reduce the risk of bone • metastases 3, 4, 5 Timing and sequencing of AI inhibitors and bisphonates may play a key role in reducing AIBL = Aromatase inhibitor-associated bone loss. 1.

HORIZON Study. Approved. – Denosumab ( PROLIA) significantly reduces the risk of vertebral, non vertebral and hip fractures. It has been approved by EMA at a dose of 60 mgrs/ 6 months sc. FREEDOM Study. Approved. • Women with nonmetastatic Breast Cancer receiving adjuvant AI therapy: there is increasing evidence through Phase III CTs for prevention of Bone Loss and reducing the risk of fractures. – Z-FAST, ZO-FAST, E/ZO-FAST and ABCSG-12 for Zoledronic Acid. (4 mgrs iv / 6 months) – HALT Study for Denosumab. (60 mgrs sc / 6 months) • Bone loss is associated with hormone ablation in men with prostate cancer that are at increased risk of fractures. There is increasing evidence with Zoledronic Acid and other BPN through Phase III CTs for prevention of Bone Loss and reducing the risk of fractures. • Denosumab significantly reduces the risk of vertebral, non vertebral and hip fractures. Approved by EMA in Bone Loss associated with AD in men with
