Study of the Key Techniques of Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporotic Refracture

January 7, 2026 updated by: Peking Union Medical College Hospital

Efficacy of Sequential Denosumab After Teriparatide for 6 Months Compared With Denosumab Monotherapy in Reducing Risk of Osteoporotic Fractures in Patients With New Fractures: a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial (STAND Study)

This project anchors osteoporotic fractures, conduct registration and follow-up studies, and conduct prospective treatment studies. By registering for follow-up studies on osteoporotic fractures, it is planned to obtain epidemiological data through registration and follow-up studies; A prospective treatment study for patients with osteoporotic fractures is planned to explore effective treatment strategies through randomized controlled trials; To study biomarkers for osteoporotic refractures, we plan to establish a biomarker warning model through multi omics research; To study imaging biomarkers for osteoporotic refractures, a new imaging technology is proposed to establish an imaging omics warning model.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: 60mg of Denosumab treatment
Monotherapy with denosumab injection ( 60mg, subcutaneous injection, semi-annually) for 24 months.
Active Comparator: 60mg of Denosumab treatment by subcutaneous injection
Experimental: Teriparatide was sequentially treated with Denosumab
  1. Treatment with teriparatide injection ( 20ug, subcutaneous injection, once daily) for 6 months, followed by discontinuation of teriparatide and change to denosumab injection ( 60mg, subcutaneous injection, once every six months) and continued until the 24th month.
  2. Treatment with teriparatide injection ( 20ug, subcutaneous injection, once daily) for 12 months, followed by discontinuation of teriparatide and change to denosumab injection ( 60mg, subcutaneous injection, semi-annually) treatment continued until the 24th month.
Active Comparator: 60mg of Denosumab treatment by subcutaneous injection
Teriparatide was sequentially treated with Denosumab

What is the study measuring?

The main study:the incidence of new vertebral fractures (clinical and imaging) within 24 months of treatment
Within 24 months of treatment
The sub study:The rate of change in BMD from baseline at lumbar spine in 24 months
Time Frame: Within 24 months of treatment
Within 24 months of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The main study:New vertebral fractures in 12 months
Time Frame: Within 12 months of treatment
Within 12 months of treatment
The main study:New hip fractures, new fractures at other sites, and all new fractures at 12 and 24 months
Time Frame: Within 12 months and 24 months of treatment
Within 12 months and 24 months of treatment
The main study:The rate of BMD change from the baseline at the lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck in 12 and 24 months;
Time Frame: Within 12 months and 24 months of treatment
Within 12 months and 24 months of treatment
The main study:The rate of changes from baseline in serum type 1 collagen cross-linked C-terminal peptide (β-CTX) and type 1 procollagen N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) at 6, 12, and 24 months
Time Frame: 6, 12, and 24 months
6, 12, and 24 months
The main study:The patients' adherence to treatment
Time Frame: 24 months

Non-adherence rate=Number of patients non-adherencet with teriparatide or denosumab / Total number of patients.

  1. Denosumab Adherence Adherence to denosumab treatment was assessed based on protocol compliance during the study period. Non-adherence was defined as one or more instances in which the scheduled denosumab injection was not administered according to the study protocol, including doses received outside the permissible treatment window (±4 weeks).
  2. Teriparatide Adherence Adherence to teriparatide was evaluated only in the two sequential treatment groups assigned to receive teriparatide. Using patient diary records, non-adherence was defined as an actual-to-expected injection day ratio of less than 80% or greater than 120% over the course of the study period.
24 months
The main study:Cost-effectiveness
Time Frame: 24 months
The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio is defined as the average additional drug cost required per additional fracture event avoided in the intervention group compared to the control group.
