Key clinical point: Treatment with denosumab in an osteoporosis dosage is not associated with an increased risk of malignancy with drug exposure of up to 48 months.

Major finding: The risk of malignancy was similar between denosumab (60 mg every 6 months, up to 48 months) and other comparators (absolute risk difference, 0%; risk ratio, 1.08; 95% confidence interval, 0.94-1.24).

Study details: Meta-analysis of 25 randomized controlled trials including 21,523 patients with osteoporosis (10,721 treated with denosumab and 10,802 treated with a comparator).

Disclosures: No study sponsor was identified. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
