Women treated with clodronate, a bisphosphonate that's not yet available in this country, also had their rate of all-cause mortality cut by 23% during a median follow-up period of 5.5 years, Dr. Eugene V. McCloskey reported in a poster at the annual meeting of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
The difference in mortality between the clodronate-treated and control groups fell just short of being statistically significant.
Clodronate is not approved for use in the United States, but is in the same class of drugs as approved agents such as alendronate and risedronate.
