Bisphosphonates and time to osteonecrosis development. Palaska PK, Cartsos V, Zavras AI. Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Department of Oral Health Policy & Epidemiology, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw (BONJ) is a complication of long-term bisphosphonate (BP) use. Given the beneficial effects of BP on bone quality in patients with cancer or osteoporosis, it is of great importance to understand the risk as it relates to time to event or cumulative dose until the onset of disease. Because there is no information on the lowest toxic dose from clinical trials, here we report on a review of 71 case series published since 2003. We calculated the weighted mean time to event, as well as the minimum reported time and dose for zoledronate, pamidronate, and oral bisphosphonates. The mean time to BONJ after zoledronate treatment was calculated at 1.8 years and the minimum was 10 months; after pamidronate, the mean time was 2.8 years and the minimum was 1.5 years; and after oral BP therapy, the mean time was 4.6 years and the minimum was 3 years. Zoledronic acid seems to be the most potent among the nitrogen-containing BPs. Factors that seem to affect BONJ and time to event were invasive dental procedures and other comorbid factors such as advanced age, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, use of corticosteroids, vitamin D deficiency, and more. Understanding the pathophysiology of the disease requires further research. Durata del trattamento con BPs Oncologist. 2009 Nov;14(11):1154-66. Epub 2009 Nov 8.

Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) is a newly emerging condition in a long-term administration of mainly intravenous bisphosphonates for the treatment of hypercalcemia associated with malignancy, multiple myeloma, and metastatic breast and prostate cancers. The incidence of BRONJ is not so high, but it is very refractory to ordinary dental treatments, and the bone exposure, a typical symptom, continues for several months. Although many cases of BRONJ have been reported worldwide, the precise pathogenesis remains obscure. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the systemic risk factors contributing in the development of BRONJ. DM is generally associated with microvascular ischemia of the bone, endothelial cell dysfunction, decreased bone turnover and remodeling, resulting in a delayed wound healing and easy to infection. In this issue, the relation of DM as a systemic risk factor with development of BRONJ as well as the incidence, clinical manifestations and prevention and treatment of BRONJ are described.

Department of Oncology and Hematology, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena, Italy. Over a period of 28 months, we observed five cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in cancer patients treated with bisphosphonates (BP) at our institution. This prompted us to undertake a retrospective, multicenter study to analyse the characteristics of patients who exhibited ONJ and to define the frequency of ONJ in multiple myeloma (MM). We identified 35 cases in Gruppo Italiano Studio Linfomi centers during the period 2002 - 05. The median time from cancer diagnosis to the clinical onset of ONJ was 70 months. In these 35 cases of ONJ, 24 appeared 20 - 60 months after starting BP treatment. The time for the onset of ONJ was significantly shorter for patients treated with zoledronic acid alone than for those treated with pamidronate followed by zoledronic acid. The frequency of ONJ in the MM group during the study period was 1.9%, although the nature of the present study may have resulted in an underestimation of ONJ cases. Our analysis strongly suggested an association between the use of BP and the occurrence of ONJ, although we were unable to identify any definite risk factors with a retrospective study. The most frequently ONJassociated clinical characteristics were chemotherapy treatment, steroid treatment, advanced age, female sex, anemia, parodonthopaties/dental procedures and thalidomide (in the case of MM patients).

Chiu CT, Chiang WF, Chuang CY, Chang SW. Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Kaohsiung Memorial Center, Kaohsiung City, and Chang Gung University, College of Medicine, Taiwan. PURPOSE: To offer recommendations of risk factors, prevention, and treatment of oral bisphosphonate and steroid-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BSRONJ) in Taiwan. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve patients were clinicopathologically proved to have bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). All of the patients were taking oral bisphosphonates and were concurrently administered long-term steroids. Of the 12 patients, 3 patients were assigned to the first stage of BRONJ; 5 patients were assigned to the second stage, and 4 patients were assigned to the third stage. The patients' symptoms, localization of necrosis, presence of a fistula, and association with possible triggering factors for onset of the lesion were recorded. RESULTS: The radiologic investigations revealed osteolytic areas and scintigraphy demonstrated increased bone metabolism. Microbiologic analysis showed pathogenic actinomycosis organisms in a majority of patients (91.6%). Antibiotic therapy, minor debridement surgery, and combined hyperbaric oxygen therapy were useful in obtaining short-term symptomatic relief. CONCLUSIONS: Comorbidities of steroid use along with bisphosphonates may cause osteonecrosis of the jaw to occur sooner, be more severe, and respond more slowly to a drug discontinuation. The clinical disease of BSRONJ is more severe and more unpredictable to treat than BRONJ. From the data gained from other published studies of BRONJ and our clinical experience with the series of cases of BSRONJ, we offer recommendations of risk factors, prevention, and treatment of BSRONJ in southern Taiwan.

School of Pharmacy and Chemistry, Kingston University, Kingston KT1 2EE, United Kingdom. PURPOSE: The risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) associated with bisphosphonate use in patients with cancer is reviewed. SUMMARY: ONJ is a relatively new complication of supportive care in cancer. Bisphosphonateassociated ONJ can be generally defined as necrotic bone exposure to the oral cavity and inflammatory reactions of the surrounding soft tissue in patients receiving bisphosphonates but not radiotherapy to the head and neck. The risk of development of ONJ varies with the type of bisphosphonate used and the duration of exposure, with more potent agents increasing the risk with shorter durations of exposure. From the current evidence, the incidence of this disorder in cancer patients receiving bisphosphonates can be as high as 10% when patients have more than one risk factor. Risk factors include type of bisphosphonate, duration of exposure, concomitant medications, comorbidities (e.g., hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus), and lifestyle behaviors (e.g., smoking, obesity). To minimize the risk of ONJ, patients initiated on bisphosphonates should optimize routine dental care and have their baseline oral cavity status evaluated by both clinical and radiographic examinations before initiation of bisphosphonate therapy. Current management of ONJ is difficult and empirical. At present, a conservative approach is recommended, including systemic antibiotics, antiseptic oral rinses, pain control, and limited debridement. CONCLUSION: Cancer patients receiving bisphosphonates are at risk for developing ONJ. Clinicians should evaluate patients' oral integrity and existing risk factors before initiating bisphosphonate therapy. Once treatment is started, patients should be closely monitored for signs and symptoms of ONJ. Fattori di rischio sistemico: stile di vita Am J Health Syst Pharm. 2009 Sep 1;66(17):1541-7.

Zoledronate, smoking, and obesity are strong risk factors for osteonecrosis of the jaw: a case-control study. Wessel JH, Dodson TB, Zavras AI. Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA 02115, USA. PURPOSE: Bisphosphonates (BPs) effectively treat metastatic bone disease, hypercalcemia, and osteoporosis. BP exposure, however, may be associated with osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). The aim of the present study was to estimate the magnitude of the association between intravenous (IV) BP exposure and ONJ, and to identify potential confounders. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using a case-control study design, the investigators identified and adjudicated a sample of cases with ONJ and matched them randomly with 5 controls per case. The controls were matched to cases on age, gender, cancer type, and date of cancer diagnosis. The medical records were abstracted and data on BP exposure, cancer therapy, and comorbidities were recorded. Statistical analyses were carried out using conditional logistic regression in Stata 9.0 (Stata Corp, College Station, TX). RESULTS: Thirty cases of ONJ were identified at Massachusetts General Hospital from February 2003 through February 2007. Zoledronate was found to confer significant risk toward development of ONJ (adjusted odds ratio = 31.8, P < .05). Although a trend toward increased risk was noted for pamidronate, this association was not significant after controlling for zoledronate. Obesity and smoking were associated significantly with ONJ development, whereas oral BPs had no effect. CONCLUSION: In this study, cancer patients who had received zoledronate exhibited a significant 30-fold increase in their risk to develop ONJ. More studies are needed to elucidate the exact role of obesity and smoking in the development of ONJ, and the complex interactions of IV BPs with other chemotherapies during cancer treatment.

We have explored the potential role of genetics in the development of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients under bisphosphonate therapy. A genome-wide association study was performed using 500 568 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 2 series of homogeneously treated MM patients, one with ONJ (22 MM cases) and another without ONJ (65 matched MM controls). Four SNPs (rs1934951, rs1934980, rs1341162, and rs17110453) mapped within the cytochrome P450-2C gene (CYP2C8) showed a different distribution between cases and controls with statistically significant differences (P = 1.07 x 10(-6), P = 4.231 x 10(-6), P = 6.22 x 10(-6), and P = 2.15 x 10(-6), respectively). SNP rs1934951 was significantly associated with a higher risk of ONJ development even after Bonferroni correction (P corrected value = .02). Genotyping results displayed an overrepresentation of the T allele in cases compared with controls (48% vs 12%). Thus, individuals homozygous for the T allele had an increased likelihood of developing ONJ (odds ratio 12.75, 95% confidence interval 3.7-43.5).

Fattori di rischio sistemici: farmacogenetica The Pharmacogenomics Journal Submitted An aromatese polymorphism predicts risk of Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of jaws in oncologic patients. La Ferla F, Paolicchi E, Crea F, Cei S, Graziani F, Gabriele M, Danesi R. University of Pisa, Italy. Background: Osteonecrosis of jaws (ONJ) in subjects under intravenous bisphosphonates therapy is a very life spoiling adverse effect. Several acquired factors have been recognized as predictors of ONJ in oncologic patients, especially dental infection or trauma. Recently, genetic polymorphisms arose as promising tools to identify patients with higher risk of drugrelated adverse events. Objective: Examine the correlation between aromatase, estrogen receptor polymorphisms, and the risk of BP-related ONJ. Methods: A clinical and radiological examination has been conducted on a sample of 168 oncologic subjects treated with zoledronate. Subjects with a good oral health and without any oral infections were included in control group. Subjects with ONJ, confirmed by histological analysis, were included in test group. Estrogen receptor and aromatase polymorphisms have been analyzed on blood cell DNA. χ2 test has been employed to compare genotype distribution. Results: Only 83 subjects (30 in the test group and 53 in the control group) were included in the study. No significant differences between groups has been found in age, zoledronate treatment period, cancer type and therapy. Aromatase C132810T polymorphism displayed an overrepresentation of TT allele in the test group (36.67 vs 16.98%, p<0.05). Conclusion: Our data suggested a possible role of aromatase C132810T polymorphism in predicting ONJ risk. These results can pave the way to the personalization of BP therapy, based on individual genotype.
