Inhibition of bone erosion, determined by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), in rheumatoid arthritis patients receiving a conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (csDMARD) plus denosumab vs csDMARD therapy alone: an open-label, randomized, parallel-group study

Analysis of bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis using HR-pQCT: Development of a measurement algorithm and assessment of longitudinal changes

Kazuteru Shiraishi et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to establish an algorithm for measuring bone erosions at metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), and to assess the precision and longitudinal changes in bone erosions among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The algorithm developed showed good reproducibility and both progression and repair of bone erosions were observed in RA patients even after 12 months of treatment.

Impact of denosumab discontinuation on changes in bone mineral density and bone erosion in rheumatoid arthritis patients

Sakae Tanaka et al.

Summary: This study investigated changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and erosion after discontinuation of denosumab in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients without osteoporosis. The results showed that the percentage change in lumbar spine BMD returned to baseline levels after discontinuation. Bone erosion scores did not significantly differ between the on-treatment period and after discontinuation, but there was a numerical increase postdiscontinuation. The progression in bone erosion score was significantly reduced in patients whose disease activity was in remission.

Summary: New bone erosion predictors in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs include seropositivity, elevated inflammatory markers, and baseline erosion score greater than or equal to 3.

The Effect of Inflammation on Bone

Scott Epsley et al.

Summary: Bone remodeling is a continual process involving osteoblasts and osteoclasts, where inflammation plays a crucial role in skewing the process towards resorption. Inflammatory mediators interact with bone cells to alter the expression of regulatory factors, leading to various bone-related pathologies. Further research is needed to advance early detection and treatments for bone diseases influenced by inflammation.

Systemic Bone Density at Disease Onset Is Associated With Joint Erosion Progression in Early Naive to Treatment Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Prospective 12-Month Follow-Up Open-Label Study

Dario Bruno et al.

Summary: The study revealed that bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis patients are closely associated with systemic bone loss, with early osteoporotic patients being more prone to erosions. Disease activity score and osteopenia/osteoporosis status were identified as independent factors of erosiveness.

Effects of RANKL inhibition on promoting healing of bone erosion in rheumatoid arthritis using HR-pQCT: a 2-year, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Ho So et al.

Summary: Denosumab showed greater efficacy than placebo in erosion repair in patients with rheumatoid arthritis after 24 months, as seen on HR-pQCT scans. A significant proportion of patients in the denosumab group experienced erosion healing, while no differences in erosion parameters were observed at 12 months.

Yoshiya Tanaka et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the safety and efficacy of long-term denosumab treatment for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, showing that it effectively inhibits the progression of joint destruction. Higher dosing frequency may be needed in the early treatment stages for optimal results.
