The analysis of combined data from two studies was published in the Feb 2002 issue of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, and also shows that the fracture reduction benefits of Actonel in patients at higher risk of fracture were similar to the benefits observed in the overall populations of patients with established osteoporosis. To determine the effect of Actonel on new spinal fractures in patients at high risk of fracture, data were pooled from two randomised, double blind studies (VERT-MN and VERT-NA) in 2457 postmenopausal osteoporotic women treated with placebo or Actonel 5 mg daily.
