Brief Summary

Denosumab(Dmab) is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits the receptor-activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand. It improves bone density and reduces fractures by inhibiting osteoclast recruitment and differentiation. Although the FREEDOM trial showed Dmab increase bone mineral density for ten years, the effect was reversible. When Dmab is discontinued, the rebound phenomenon, the bone mineral density returns to the pre-treatment value, and multiple vertebral fractures may occur. Recently, a guideline to administer bisphosphonates sequentially when Dmab is discontinued has been published. In several studies, Zoledronic acid prevented bone loss after denosumab discontinuation with a single administration in Dmab short-term(less than 2.5years) users, but in Dmab long-term(more than 2.5years) users, zoledronic acid did not fully prevent loss of BMD. Our study tried to evaluate that ZOL administration twice for six months apart in long-term Dmab users is not inferior to a single administration of ZOL in Dmab short-term users.
