【 摘 要 】
References(16)Cited-By(3)The use of aromatase inhibitor (AI) in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor (HR)-positive early breast cancer (EBC) produces a deleterious effect on bone mass and an increase in fractures.Several studies using intravenous bisphosphonates have shown effective management of AI-induced bone loss.To determine whether a lower dosage in oral form combined with calcitriol can effectively manage AI-induced bone loss, we performed a randomized, double-blind, prospective, placebo-controlled 24-week trial with a combination of alendronate and 0.5-μg of calcitriol daily to HR-positive EBC patients.A total of 98 Korean postmenopausal women with HR-positive EBC who received daily AI, calcium and vitamin D were randomly assigned to 5-mg of alendronate and 0.5-μg of calcitriol (Maxmarvil®) or placebo groups.The bone mineral density (BMD) and turnover markers were measured.At week 24, the difference in lumbar BMD between the groups was 3.0% (p vs. 109.8 ± 28.6%, p < 0.05).Our study demonstrates that a combination of 5-mg alendronate and 0.5-μg calcitriol is effective to prevent bone loss due to AI in Korean postmenopausal women with EBC.
