Eldecalcitol is superior to alfacalcidol in maintaining bone mineral density in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis patients (e-GLORIA)
Introduction Eldecalcitol increases bone mineral density (BMD) and reduces vertebral fracture in patients with primary osteoporosis. However, the effect of eldecalcitol on BMD and fracture in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO) patients is unknown. This study was undertaken to compare the effe...

Zusammenfassung: | Introduction
Eldecalcitol increases bone mineral density (BMD) and reduces vertebral fracture in patients with primary osteoporosis. However, the effect of eldecalcitol on BMD and fracture in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO) patients is unknown. This study was undertaken to compare the effect of eldecalcitol on BMD and fracture with that of alfacalcidol in GIO patients.
Materials and methods
A randomized, open-label, parallel group study was conducted to identify the effectiveness and safety of monotherapy with 0.75 μg eldecalcitol compared with 1.0 μg alfacalcidol in GIO patients.
Results
Lumbar spine BMD increased with eldecalcitol, but decreased with alfacalcidol at 12 and 24 months (between group difference 1.29%,
