Effect of denosumab on bone mineral density in Japanese women with osteopenia treated with aromatase inhibitors for breast cancer: subgroup analyses of a Phase II study.

ABSTRACT: Background:The aim of the study was to conduct subgroup analyses of therapeutic effects of 12-month denosumab therapy on the percentage change in bone mineral density (BMD) from baseline in the lumber spine and femoral neck. Materials and methods:We prospectively evaluated the BMD of the lumbar spine and femoral neck of 100 hormone receptor-positive, clinical stage I-IIIA postoperative postmenopausal breast cancer patients, for whom treatment with aromatase inhibitors (AIs) as adjuvant endocrine therapy was scheduled. The primary endpoint was the percent change in lumbar spine BMD from baseline to 12 months. Patient subgroups were analyzed according to baseline variables that are known risk factors for bone loss, including previous AI therapy, age, time since menopause, baseline body mass index (BMI), and baseline BMD T-score. Results:At 12 months, lumbar spine BMD increased by 4.7%; the patients who were administered AI therapy prior to denosumab (n=70) demonstrated a 4.7% increase in BMD, and the patients who received denosumab at the start of AI therapy (n=30) demonstrated a 4.5% increase in BMD (p=0.8385). Additionally, 2.4% and 1.4% increases in BMD of the right and left femoral neck, respectively, were observed. Initiation of AI (with denosumab, before denosumab), type of AI (non-steroidal, steroidal), age (<65, ?65 years), time since menopause (?5, >5 years), BMI (<25, ?25 kg/m2), and T-score (?-1.0, >-1.0) of the right femoral neck were as follows: (2.2%, 2.5%, p=0.7773), (2.6%, 0.9%, p=0.1726), (2.5%, 2.3%, p=0.7594), (2.1%, 2.4%, p=0.2034), (2.1%, 2.9%, p=0.2034), and (2.3%, 2.7%, p=0.6823), respectively. Initiation of AI (with denosumab, before denosumab), type of AI (non-steroidal, steroidal), age (<65, ?65 years), time since menopause (?5, >5 years), BMI (<25, ?25 kg/m2), and T-score (?-1.0, >-1.0) of the left femoral neck were as follows: (1.0%, 1.5%, p=0.1972), (1.2%, 2.7%, p=0.2931), (1.4%, 1.3%, p=0.8817), (-0.1%, 1.6%, p=0.1766), (1.3%, 1.9%, p=0.6465), and (1.5%, 1.1%, p=0.6573), respectively. Conclusion:Twice-yearly treatment with denosumab was associated with increased BMD among Japanese women receiving adjuvant AI therapy, regardless of the baseline characteristics or skeletal site.

Project description:Romosozumab, which binds sclerostin, rebuilds the skeletal foundation before transitioning to antiresorptive treatment. This subgroup analysis of an international, randomized, double-blind study in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis showed efficacy and safety outcomes for romosozumab followed by denosumab in Japanese women were generally consistent with those for the overall population.PurposeIn the international, randomized, double-blind, phase 3 FRActure study, in postmenopausal woMen with ostEoporosis (FRAME; NCT01575834), romosozumab followed by denosumab significantly improved bone mineral density (BMD) and reduced fracture risk. This report evaluates Japanese women in FRAME.MethodsPostmenopausal women with osteoporosis (T-score -?3.5 to -?2.5 at total hip or femoral neck) received romosozumab 210 mg or placebo subcutaneously monthly for 12 months, then each group received denosumab 60 mg subcutaneously every 6 months for 24 months. The key endpoint for Japanese women was BMD change. Other endpoints included new vertebral, clinical, and nonvertebral fracture; the subgroup analysis did not have adequate power to demonstrate statistically significant reductions.ResultsOf 7180 enrolled subjects, 492 (6.9%) were Japanese (247 romosozumab, 245 placebo). BMD increases from baseline were greater (P?<?0.001) for romosozumab-to-denosumab than placebo-to-denosumab at the lumbar spine (36 months, 12.7%), total hip (4.2%), and femoral neck (4.1%). Fracture risk was lower through 36 months for romosozumab-to-denosumab vs placebo-to-denosumab for new vertebral (1.7% vs 4.5%; relative risk reduction (RRR) 63%, P?=?0.070), clinical (3.2% vs 7.3%; RRR 53%, P?=?0.072), nonvertebral (2.8% vs 6.1%; RRR 50%, P?=?0.12), and all other fracture types evaluated. Rates of adverse events and positively adjudicated serious cardiovascular events were generally balanced between groups.ConclusionsEfficacy and safety for romosozumab-to-denosumab were similar between Japanese women and the overall population. The sequence of romosozumab to rebuild the skeletal foundation before transitioning to antiresorptive treatment with denosumab is a promising regimen for Japanese postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk of fracture.

Project description:BackgroundLong-term care issues, specifically metabolic bone disorders, are a concern for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) who undergo life-long antiretroviral therapy (ART). Previous clinical trials with denosumab, an anti-RANKL antibody inhibitor, have revealed its effectiveness in increasing bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with osteoporosis. However, there are limited data on adherence and effectiveness of denosumab treatment for osteoporosis in PLWH. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the adherence and effectiveness of denosumab treatment for osteoporosis in Japanese PLWH.MethodsThis study is a retrospective exploratory analysis of 29 Japanese PLWH who initiated denosumab treatment for osteoporosis, between 2013 and 2021. The study included patients who received at least one dose of denosumab every 6 months. Adherence and persistence were defined as receiving two consecutive injections of denosumab 6 months ± 4 weeks apart and 6 months + 8 weeks apart, respectively. The primary outcome measure of the study was the adherence of denosumab treatment for 24 months. The secondary outcome measures included treatment persistence and BMD. The period after January 2020 was defined as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic period, and its impact on adherence was investigated.ResultsThe treatment adherence rates at 12 and 24 months were 89.7% and 60.7%, respectively. By contrast, the treatment persistence at 12 and 24 months was 100% and 85.7%, respectively. More patients in the group who initiated denosumab treatment after the COVID-19 pandemic reached non-adherence than in the group who initiated denosumab treatment before the pandemic. BMD at the lumbar spine and femoral neck significantly increased compared to that at baseline, with median percentage changes of 8.7% (p < 0.001) and 3.5% (p = 0.001), respectively.ConclusionsThe results showed that patients in the study had a high rate of non-adherence but a lower rate of non-persistence. Additionally, PLWH on ongoing ART experienced increased BMD with denosumab treatment. This study provides an opportunity to improve future strategies for denosumab treatment in the Japanese PLWH.
