Onset usually occurs in the prepubertal period, between 8 and 12 years of age.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis has been reported in the published literature.
No approved treatments are currently available for idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis. An additional 1 compound holds orphan drug designation.
While no drugs are FDA-approved specifically for idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis, some of the following designated compounds may be used off-label in clinical practice. Treatment decisions should be made in consultation with a specialist familiar with this condition.
The following drugs have received orphan drug designation from the FDA for idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis. Orphan designation reflects regulatory interest and does not indicate approval for treatment.
