If you finished your 12th Evenity injections about a month ago, then your upcoming BTM results will provide a useful new post-treatment reference point. You can compare them with your pretreatment baseline (before starting Evenity). although as you mentioned, that baseline might not have been ideal.

According to the clinical trial data and the manufacturer’s prescribing information, “After discontinuation of EVENITY, … CTX increased above baseline levels within 3 months and returned toward baseline levels by month 12”, as shown in the attached graph - I circled the CTX uptick in red.

If you are open to sharing, I’d be interested in seeing your BTM trend. Thanks.

@mayblin - thanks for this add'l piece of information regarding the impact of Evenity on BTMs. I'll post when I get the results with a summary of all the variables and moving parts that will make it a little more challenging to interpret. But, no matter what, I need to monitor my journey in some tangible way between DXA scans and the pressure to take on another bone drug.
