A multicenter, randomized, rater-blinded, parallel-group, phase 3 study to compare the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of biosimilar RGB-10 and reference once-daily teriparatide in patients with osteoporosis.

ABSTRACT: The efficacy and safety of RGB-10 and reference teriparatide were evaluated in a randomized 52-week study in 250 patients with osteoporosis at high risk of fracture. RGB-10 was equivalent to reference teriparatide in efficacy and had a comparable safety profile.

Introduction

RGB-10 is the first biosimilar teriparatide authorized in the European Union. This multicenter, randomized, rater-blinded, parallel-group phase 3 study evaluated equivalence in efficacy and compared safety between RGB-10 and reference teriparatide in patients with osteoporosis at high risk of fracture for registration in Japan.

Methods

Ambulatory postmenopausal women and men (??55 years of age) with osteoporosis at high risk of fracture were randomized 1:1 to receive either RGB-10 or reference teriparatide 20 ?g once daily via subcutaneous self-injection for 52 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was the percent change from baseline to 52 weeks in lumbar spine (L2-L4) bone mineral density (BMD). Safety outcomes and immunogenicity were also assessed.

Results

In total, 250 patients (125 in each group) were randomized. The percent change from baseline to 52 weeks in lumbar spine (L2-L4) BMD (mean ± standard deviation) was 8.94%?±?6.19% in the RGB-10 group and 9.65%?±?6.22% in the reference teriparatide group. The estimated between-group difference (95% confidence interval) was -?0.65% (-?2.17% to -?0.87%) within the pre-specified equivalence margin (±?2.8%), which indicates equivalence in efficacy between the two groups. Changes in BMD at lumbar spine (L1-L4), femoral neck, and total hip and serum procollagen type I amino-terminal propeptide were also similar between the groups. Safety profiles, including immunogenicity, were comparable.

Conclusions

The therapeutic equivalence of RGB-10 to reference teriparatide was demonstrated. RGB-10 had comparable safety profile to that of reference teriparatide.

Project description:A 48-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, non-inferiority trial (the TWICE study) conducted in Japanese primary osteoporosis patients with a high risk of fractures demonstrated that a 28.2-?g twice-weekly regimen of teriparatide can provide comparable efficacy to a 56.5-?g once-weekly regimen of teriparatide, while also improving safety.IntroductionWhile a 56.5-?g once-weekly regimen of teriparatide has high efficacy for osteoporosis, treatment continuation rates are low, with one of the major causes being adverse drug reactions such as nausea or vomiting. The TWICE study was therefore conducted to investigate whether a twice-weekly regimen with 28.2-?g teriparatide can provide comparable efficacy to the 56.5-?g once-weekly regimen while improving safety.MethodsA 48-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, non-inferiority trial was conducted in Japan. Patients with primary osteoporosis aged ??65 years at high risk of fractures (n?=?553) were randomly allocated to the 28.2-?g twice-weekly group (n?=?277) or the 56.5-?g once-weekly group (n?=?276). The primary endpoint was the percentage change in lumbar spine (L2-L4) bone mineral density (BMD) at final follow-up.ResultsThe percentage changes in lumbar spine (L2-L4) BMD at final follow-up in the 28.2-?g twice-weekly and 56.5-?g once-weekly groups were 7.3% and 5.9%, respectively; the difference (95% confidence interval [CI]) in percentage change was 1.3% (0.400-2.283%). Since the lower limit of the 95% CI was above the pre-specified non-inferiority margin (-?1.6%), non-inferiority of the 28.2-?g twice-weekly group was demonstrated. Adverse drug reactions were significantly less frequent in the 28.2-?g twice-weekly group (39.7% vs 56.2%; p?<?0.01); the incidence of major adverse drug reactions was lower, and the number of subjects who discontinued due to adverse drug reactions was less in the 28.2-?g twice-weekly group.ConclusionsA 28.2-?g twice-weekly regimen of teriparatide can provide comparable efficacy to a 56.5-?g once-weekly regimen while improving safety.Clinical trial registrationJapicCTI-163477 .

Project description:Without antiresorptive therapy, postmenopausal women lose bone mass after teriparatide (TPTD) discontinuation; estrogen treatment prevents bone loss in this setting. It is not known whether premenopausal women with regular menses lose bone mass after teriparatide discontinuation.This study aimed to test the hypothesis that normally menstruating premenopausal women with idiopathic osteoporosis (IOP) will maintain teriparatide-associated bone mineral density (BMD) gains after medication cessation.Twenty-one premenopausal IOP women previously enrolled in an open-label pilot study of teriparatide (20 mcg for 18-24 mo), had substantial BMD increases at the lumbar spine (LS; 10.8 ± 8.3%), total hip (TH; 6.2 ± 5.6%), and femoral neck (7.6 ± 3.4%). For this study, BMD was remeasured 2.0 ± 0.6 years after teriparatide cessation.Fifteen women, who had gained 11.1 ± 7.2% at LS and 6.1 ± 6.5% at TH and were premenopausal at teriparatide completion, were followed without antiresorptive treatment.Two years after completing teriparatide, BMD declined by 4.8 ± 4.3% (P = .0007) at the LS. In contrast, BMD remained stable at the femoral neck (-1.5 ± 4.2%) and TH (-1.1 ± 3.7%). Those who sustained LS bone loss >3% (-7.3 ± 2.9%; n = 10), did not differ from those with stable LS BMD (0.1 ± 1.1%; n=5) with regard to baseline body mass index, BMD at any site, or duration of followup, but were significantly older at re-evaluation (46 ± 3 vs 38 ± 7; P = .046), had larger increases in LS BMD during teriparatide treatment and higher cancellous bone remodeling on transiliac biopsy at baseline and completion of teriparatide treatment. Serum bone turnover markers did not differ at baseline or teriparatide completion, but tended to be higher at the re-evaluation timepoint in those with post-teriparatide bone loss.These findings lead us to conclude that premenopausal women with IOP, particularly those over 40, may require antiresorptive treatment to prevent bone loss after teriparatide.

Project description:Objective:To evaluate the effects of once-weekly dulaglutide injection and once-daily glimepiride on glucose fluctuation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using the Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS). Methods:A total of 23 patients with T2DM were randomly assigned into two groups for 26 weeks: the dulaglutide group (n = 13) and the glimepiride group (n = 10). 72-hour CGMS was applied to all patients: before and after the treatment. General clinical data were collected and measured, such as fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?), 8-iso-prostaglandin F2? (8-iso-PGF2?), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Results:HbA1c of the dulaglutide group was reduced from 8.38 ± 0.93% to 6.68 ± 0.73% after the treatment (P < 0.05); similarly, it was reduced from 7.91 ± 0.98% to 6.67 ± 0.74% (P < 0.05) in the glimepiride group. The levels of serum 8-iso-PGF2?, TNF-?, and IL-6 all decreased significantly in both groups after treatment, and there was no significant difference found between the two groups (P > 0.05). The Mean Blood Glucose (MBG) of the two groups declined significantly after therapy (P < 0.05). However, the Standard Deviation of Blood Glucose (SDBG) decreased significantly only in the dulaglutide group (from 2.57 ± 0.74 mmol/L to 1.98 ± 0.74 mmol/L, P < 0.05). There were no significant changes of Mean Amplitude of Glycemic Excursion (MAGE) and Absolute Means of Daily Difference (MODD) after treatment in both groups. Furthermore, no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in MBG, SDBG, MAGE, and MODD (P > 0.05). The percentage time (PT) (>10?mmol/L and 3.9-10?mmol/L) of the two groups was significantly changed after the treatment (P < 0.05). However, this was not seen in the PT < 3.9 mmol/L after the treatment (P > 0.05). Conclusion:Once-weekly dulaglutide injection has the same effectiveness as daily glimepiride on lowering blood glucose and decreasing oxidation stress and inflammation and is more effective in controlling glucose fluctuation as compared with glimepiride. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01644500.
