Introduction: Paget's disease of bone (PDB) frequently presents at an advanced stage with irreversible skeletal damage. Clinical outcomes might be improved by earlier diagnosis and prophylactic treatment.

Methods: We randomised 222 individuals at increased risk of PDB because of pathogenic variants to receive 5 mg zoledronic acid (ZA) or placebo.

Vitamin D plays a major role in bone health and probably also in multiple extraskeletal acute and chronic diseases. Although supplementation with calcifediol, a vitamin D metabolite, has demonstrated efficacy and safety in short-term clinical trials, its effects after long-term monthly administration have been studied less extensively. This report describes the results of a 1-year, phase III-IV, double-blind, randomized, controlled, parallel, multicenter superiority clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of monthly calcifediol 0.

Few supplementation guidelines mention calcifediol treatment, despite being the direct precursor of calcitriol and the biomarker of vitamin D status.

Background: Retention of biological treatment provides a marker of drug effectiveness and patient satisfaction. Retention of golimumab was high in clinical trial extensions and real-world studies up to 5 years in patients with immune-mediated rheumatic diseases.

Objective: To assess the probability of real-world long-term retention of treatment with golimumab up to 7 years after treatment initiation.
