The Effects of Long-term Administration of rhPTH(1-84) in Hypoparathyroidism by Bone Histomorphometry.

ABSTRACT: Hypoparathyroidism is a rare disorder that is associated with abnormal bone properties. Recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-84) [rhPTH(1-84)] in short-term studies has beneficial skeletal effects. Although rhPTH(1-84) will likely be used indefinitely, long-term effects on skeletal microstructure are unknown. We therefore studied histomorphometric changes with transiliac crest bone biopsies before and after 8.3?±?1 years of rhPTH(1-84) in 13 hypoparathyroid subjects compared with 45 controls. Before institution of rhPTH(1-84), skeletal remodeling indices were markedly suppressed. With long-term treatment, indices of bone remodeling increased. Mineralizing surface increased by 26-fold (0.3?±?1 to 7.9?±?7%, p?=?0.003), bone formation rate increased by 15-fold (0.003?±?0.01 to 0.047?±?0.05??m2 /?m/day, p?=?0.007), osteoid width doubled (1.9?±?1 to 4.3?±?1 lamellae, p?=?0.017), and osteoid surface tripled (3.3?±?3 to 10.8?±?6%, p?=?0.011). Bone resorption as measured by eroded surface increased (4.6?±?2 to 7.5?±?3%, p?=?0.021). Structural changes demonstrated intratrabecular tunneling, with increases in cancellous bone volume (19.6?±?5 to 29.1?±?11%, p?=?0.017) and trabecular number (1.8?±?1 to 2.5?±?1 #/mm, p?=?0.025). Cortical porosity tended to increase (6.3?±?5 to 9.5?±?3%, p?=?0.07). Mineralizing surface, osteoid surface, and eroded surface surpassed control levels, as did cancellous bone volume, trabecular number, and cortical porosity. These data, the first to reflect such long exposure of any PTH for any disease, illustrate that PTH establishes and maintains a new skeletal state for at least 8 years in hypoparathyroidism. © 2018 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Project description:IntroductionPatients with chronic hypoparathyroidism are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This study evaluated the risk of developing cardiovascular conditions over a period of 5 years in adult patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism treated with recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-84), rhPTH(1-84), compared with a historical control cohort of patients not treated with rhPTH(1-84).MethodsThis retrospective cohort study comprised patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism treated with rhPTH(1-84) in the REPLACE (NCT00732615), RELAY (NCT01268098), and RACE (NCT01297309) clinical trials, and controls selected from the IBM® Explorys electronic medical record database (January 2007-August 2019) who did not receive parathyroid hormone but who had enrollment criteria similar to those for the clinical trials. Cardiovascular outcomes were the first diagnosis of cerebrovascular, coronary artery, peripheral vascular disease, or heart failure during the study period.ResultsWe evaluated 113 adult patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism treated with rhPTH(1-84) and 618 control patients who did not receive rhPTH(1-84). Over the 5-year follow-up period, 3.5% of patients (n = 4) in the rhPTH(1-84) cohort had a cardiovascular event compared with 16.3% (n = 101) in the control cohort. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that patients in the rhPTH(1-84) cohort had lower risk of experiencing a cardiovascular event compared with patients in the control cohort (P = 0.005). Multivariable analyses adjusted for baseline variables showed that patients in the rhPTH(1-84) cohort had 75% lower risk for a cardiovascular event compared with patients in the control cohort (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.25 [95% CI 0.08-0.81]; P = 0.020).ConclusionLong-term treatment with rhPTH(1-84) was associated with a lower risk of incident cardiovascular conditions compared with conventional therapy in patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism. Previous studies demonstrated that mineral homeostasis was maintained with lower use of calcium and active vitamin D when rhPTH(1-84) was added to conventional therapy. Future studies are needed to understand whether improved regulation of mineral homeostasis conferred by rhPTH(1-84) may provide long-term cardiovascular benefits to patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism.

Project description:Dynamic bone histomorphometry is the standard method for measuring bone remodeling at the level of individual events. Although dynamic bone histomorphometry is an invaluable tool for understanding osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases, the technique's two-dimensional nature requires the use of stereology and prevents measures of individual remodeling event number and size. Here, we used a novel three-dimensional fluorescence imaging technique to achieve measures of individual resorption cavities and formation events. We performed this three-dimensional histomorphometry approach using a common model of postmenopausal osteoporosis, the ovariectomized rat. The three-dimensional images demonstrated the spatial relationship between resorption cavities and formation events consistent with the hemiosteonal model of cancellous bone remodeling. Established ovariectomy was associated with significant increases in the number of resorption cavities per unit bone surface (2.38 ± 0.24 mm⁻² sham surgery versus 3.86 ± 0.35 mm⁻² bilateral ovariectomy [OVX], mean ± SD, p < 0.05) and total volume occupied by cavities per unit bone volume (0.38% ± 0.06% sham versus 1.12% ± 0.18% OVX, p < 0.001), but there was no difference in surface area per resorption cavity, maximum cavity depth, or cavity volume. In addition, we found that established ovariectomy is associated with increased size of bone formation events because of the merging of formation events (23,700 ± 6,890 µm² sham verusus 33,300 ± 7,950 µm² OVX). No differences in mineral apposition rate (determined in 3D) were associated with established ovariectomy. That established estrogen depletion is associated with increased number of remodeling events with only subtle changes in remodeling event size suggests that circulating estrogens may have their primary effect on the origination of new basic multicellular units with relatively little effect on the progression and termination of active remodeling events.
