In patients in ACTIVE and ACTIVExtend, all-site BMD response above 3% was more frequent with abaloparatide/alendronate than placebo/alendronate.
In plain wordsAt Month 43, bone density gains above 3% at all sites occurred more often after abaloparatide then alendronate than placebo then alendronate.

At the>3% threshold, 60.7% (307/506) vs 24.0% (121/505) of patients experienced BMD increases at all 3 sites in the abaloparatide/alendronate vs placebo/alendronate groups, respectively (p < 0.001).

Here, we report a prospective, exploratory analysis of bone mineral density (BMD) response rates comparing sequential abaloparatide/alendronate vs placebo/alendronate across the ACTIVE and ACTIVExtend studies.
BMD was measured at the lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck from the beginning of ACTIVE to the end of ACTIVExtend (18 months of abaloparatide or placebo followed by about 1 month for re-consent, followed by 24 months of alendronate treatment for a total of 43 months).
