Efficacy of generic teriparatide and alendronate in Chinese postmenopausal women with osteoporosis: a prospective study. Arch Osteoporos 2022; 17:103. [PMID: 35900607 PMCID: PMC9334369 DOI: 10.1007/s11657-022-01131-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
The efficacy of generic teriparatide in improving BMD at lumbar spine in patients with osteoporosis was similar to that of alendronate. It provided a new choice for osteoporosis treatment in Chinese population. INTRODUCTION To determine whether the efficacy of generic teriparatide is noninferior to alendronate for Chinese postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. METHODS Eligible patients were randomly assigned (2:1) in a 48-week, open-label design to receive 20 µg sc daily teriparatide or 70 mg oral weekly alendronate. Primary outcome was percentage change in BMD at the lumbar spine from baseline to 48 weeks and was assessed for non-inferiority. The same outcome was further assessed for superiority as a secondary endpoint. RESULTS Three hundred ninety-one and 196 participants were randomly assigned to the teriparatide or alendronate group, of whom 379 and 194 receiving at least one dose of teriparatide and alendronate treatment were eligible for the efficacy analysis. Teriparatide was non-inferior to alendronate for BMD change at lumbar spine (treatment difference: 0.7%, 95% CI: - 0.3 to 1.7%), which excluded the predefined non-inferiority margin of - 1.5%. However, teriparatide was not statistically superior to alendronate in improving BMD at lumbar spine (P = 0.169). At 48 weeks, changes in BMD at total hip were - 1.0% and 2.2% in teriparatide and alendronate group, respectively (P < 0.001). The incidence of new fracture showed no statistical difference between groups (P = 0.128). Serum P1NP and β-CTX levels significantly increased in the teriparatide group and markedly decreased in alendronate group (all P < 0.001 vs baseline). The adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs were more common in the teriparatide group than in the alendronate group, which were mainly teriparatide-related hypercalcemia, elevated alkaline phosphatase or parathyroid hormone, dizziness, and arthralgia. CONCLUSIONS Teriparatide was not inferior to alendronate in increasing BMD at lumbar spine in Chinese postmenopausal women, and they achieved these effects through different mechanisms.

Disruption of the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 gene increases the bone anabolic response to intermittent PTH treatment in an ovariectomized mouse model. Bone 2020; 136:115370. [PMID: 32325250 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2020.115370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2020] [Revised: 04/15/2020] [Accepted: 04/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is the enzyme that oxidizes the acetaldehyde produced by alcohol metabolism. This variant not only affects the response to alcohol but is also associated with several diseases, such as esophageal cancer, myocardial infarction, and particularly osteoporosis. In our previous study, we reported that compared to wild-type (WT) mice, Aldh2 knockout (KO) mice naturally have a strong bone formation ability, and high expression of parathyroid hormone receptor (PTHR1) in osteocytes. The effect of the Aldh2 gene on bone metabolism in response to intermittent PTH treatment is unknown. The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of the Aldh2 gene on the bone anabolic response to intermittent PTH treatment in ovariectomized mice. Female KO and WT mice were ovariectomized at 8 weeks of age. At 14 weeks of age, the KO and WT mice were divided into vehicle-treated (Veh) and PTH-treated (PTH) groups (i.e., the WT-Veh, WT-PTH, KO-Veh and KO-PTH groups). PTH (1-34) and vehicle were subcutaneously administered to each group at a dose of 40 μg/kg body weight (BW) five times per week for 4 weeks. Micro-CT showed that the bone volume (BV), trabecular number (Tb.N), connectivity density (Conn.D), and cortical thickness (Ct.Th) values in the KO-PTH mice were significantly higher than those in the KO-Veh mice. Histomorphometric analysis showed that the BV, Tb.N, and mineral apposition rate (MAR) values in the KO-PTH group were significantly higher than those in the KO-Veh group. The mRNA expression level of PTHR1 in the KO-PTH group was significantly increased and that of p21 in the KO-PTH group was significantly decreased compared with the levels in the KO-Veh group. The expression of PTHR in osteocytes from the KO-PTH group was also significantly increased compared with that in osteocytes from the KO-Veh group. Furthermore, cell cultures revealed that the ALP+CFU-f/total CFU-f percentage was significantly higher in the KO-PTH group than in the KO-Veh group. We concluded that in ovariectomized Aldh2 KO mice, the bone anabolic response to intermittent PTH treatment was significantly enhanced compared to that in WT mice, which may be mediated by the high expression level of PTHR1.

Efficacy of Daily Teriparatide Treatment in Low Levels of Walking State Patients. Clin Drug Investig 2017; 37:551-557. [PMID: 28247298 DOI: 10.1007/s40261-017-0511-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Little is known about the efficacy of osteoporosis medication in patients with low levels of walking state, namely, influence by immobilization levels. We retrospectively compared the efficacy of the daily teriparatide therapy in patients with low and high levels of walking state to detect possible immobilization-related differences. METHODS We analyzed 661 patients treated with 20 μg/day of teriparatide for 24 months. We measured the changes in the bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine (LS) and of the femoral neck (FN), the changes in serum procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP) levels and urinary N-telopeptide (uNTX) excretion. To compare the results of BMD and bone turnover marker, the patients were divided into two subgroups, low levels of walking state and high levels of walking state. RESULTS Compared with baseline, in the low levels of walking state subgroup, the percent LS BMD and FN BMD increased significantly by 12.8 ± 8.9% and 5.0 ± 13.8% at 24 months, respectively (p < 0.01 vs baseline for LS and FN, respectively); the mean absolute LS BMD and FN BMD change was 0.101 ± 0.067 g/cm2 and 0.017 ± 0.063 g/cm2 at 24 months, respectively. In the high levels of walking state subgroup, the percent LS BMD and FN BMD increased significantly by 13.4 ± 9.5% and 3.1 ± 7.8% at 24 months, respectively; the mean absolute LS BMD and FN BMD change was 0.104 ± 0.068 g/cm2 and 0.017 ± 0.042 g/cm2 at 24 months, respectively. The increases in percent and absolute BMD in LS and FN, and the changes in PINP and uNTX were similar between the subgroups. CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of the daily teriparatide treatment is similar between low levels of walking state patients and high levels of walking state patients and was not influenced by immobilization levels.
