Effects of daily teriparatide, weekly high-dose teriparatide, or bisphosphonate on cortical and trabecular bone of vertebra and proximal femur in postmenopausal women with fragility fracture: Sub-analysis by quantitative computed tomography from the TERABIT study. Bone 2024; 187:117189. [PMID: 38960296 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2024.117189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The effects of daily teriparatide (D-PTH, 20 μg/day), weekly high-dose teriparatide (W-PTH, 56.5 μg/week), or bisphosphonate (BP) on the vertebra and proximal femur were investigated using quantitative computed tomography (QCT). METHODS A total of 131 postmenopausal women with a history of fragility fractures were randomized to receive D-PTH, W-PTH, or bisphosphonate (oral alendronate or risedronate). QCT were evaluated at baseline and after 18 months of treatment. RESULTS A total of 86 participants were evaluated by QCT (Spine: D-PTH: 25, W-PTH: 21, BP: 29. Hip: PTH: 22, W-PTH: 21, BP: 32. Dropout rate: 30.5 %). QCT of the vertebra showed that D-PTH, W-PTH, and BP increased total vBMD (+34.8 %, +18.2 %, +11.1 %), trabecular vBMD (+50.8 %, +20.8 %, +12.2 %), and marginal vBMD (+20.0 %, +14.0 %, +11.5 %). The increase in trabecular vBMD was greater in the D-PTH group than in the W-PTH and BP groups. QCT of the proximal femur showed that D-PTH, W-PTH, and BP increased total vBMD (+2.8 %, +3.6 %, +3.2 %) and trabecular vBMD (+7.7 %, +5.1 %, +3.4 %), while only W-PTH and BP significantly increased cortical vBMD (-0.1 %, +1.5 %, +1.6 %). Although there was no significant increase in cortical vBMD in the D-PTH group, cortical bone volume (BV) increased in all three treatment groups (+2.1 %, +3.6 %, +3.1 %). CONCLUSIONS D-PTH had a strong effect on trabecular bone of vertebra. Although D-PTH did not increase cortical BMD of proximal femur, it increased cortical BV. W-PTH had a moderate effect on trabecular bone of vertebra, while it increased both cortical BMD and BV of proximal femur. Although BP had a limited effect on trabecular bone of vertebra compared to teriparatide, it increased both cortical BMD and BV of proximal femur.

Improvement in Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis on Switching from Bisphosphonates to Once-Weekly Teriparatide: A Randomized Open-Label Trial. J Clin Med 2022; 12:jcm12010292. [PMID: 36615091 PMCID: PMC9820936 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12010292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
This randomized, open-label, multicenter, parallel study imitating real-world clinical practice assessed the effect of switching to weekly teriparatide in patients with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO) with a lumbar spine/proximal femur bone mineral density (BMD) T-score ≤ -2.0 or ≤-1.0 and a fragility fracture. Forty-four patients were randomized. The mean durations of the corticosteroid and bisphosphonate administrations were 90.0 and 51.3 months. The baseline BMD at L1-L4 was 0.828 and 0.826 g/cm2 in Groups B (bisphosphonate) and T (teriparatide); at the femur (total), these values were 0.689 and 0.661 g/cm2. The mean change in BMD was numerically higher with teriparatide vs. bisphosphonate but not statistically significant. The mean percentage changes from baseline in BMD at L1-L4 after a 72-week treatment were 0.5% and 4.1% in Groups B and T. The incidence of new fractures was higher in the patients taking bisphosphonates vs. those receiving once-weekly teriparatide at 72 weeks (18.2% vs. 11.8%) and 144 weeks (22.7% vs. 17.6%). The mean percentage change in femur (trochanter) BMD (0.035 [0.007-0.063]; p = 0.02) was significantly greater with teriparatide vs. bisphosphonates. Adverse events (AEs) were more frequent with teriparatide vs. bisphosphonates. Switching to once-weekly teriparatide tended to increase lumbar spine BMD and reduce the occurrence of new fractures vs. bisphosphonates.

Abstract
The skin is recognized as a potential target for local and systemic drug delivery and hormone. However, the transdermal route of drug administration seems to be limited by substantial barrier properties of the skin. Recently, delivering hormone via the skin by transdermal patches is a big challenge because of the presence of the stratum corneum that prevents the application of hormone via this route. In order to overcome the limitations, microneedle (MN), consisting of micro-sized needles, are a promising approach to drill the stratum corneum and release hormone into the dermis via a minimal-invasive route. This review aimed to highlight advances in research on the development of MNs-based therapeutics for their implications in hormone delivery. The challenges during clinical translation of MNs from bench to bedside are also discussed.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In this randomized, controlled trial, treatment with once-weekly subcutaneous injection of teriparatide for 72 weeks was found to be associated with a significant reduction in the incidence of morphometric vertebral fractures compared with alendronate in women with primary osteoporosis who were at high risk of fracture. INTRODUCTION To determine whether the anti-fracture efficacy of teriparatide is superior to that of alendronate, a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint trial was performed. METHODS Japanese women aged at least 75 years were eligible for the study if they had primary osteoporosis and were at high risk of fracture. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive sequential therapy (once-weekly subcutaneous injection of teriparatide 56.5 μg for 72 weeks followed by alendronate for 48 weeks) or monotherapy with alendronate for 120 weeks. The primary endpoint was the incidence of morphometric vertebral fractures at 72 weeks (at the end of teriparatide treatment). RESULTS Between October 2014 and December 2017, 1011 patients (505 in the teriparatide group and 506 in the alendronate group) were enrolled. Of these, 778 patients (351 and 427, respectively) were included in the primary analysis. The incidence of morphometric vertebral fractures was significantly lower in the teriparatide group (56 per 419.9 person-years, annual incidence rate 0.1334) than in the alendronate group (96 per 553.6 person-years, annual incidence rate 0.1734), with a rate ratio of 0.78 (95% confidence interval 0.61 to 0.99, P = 0.04). In both groups, adverse events were most frequently reported in the following system organ classes: infections and infestations, gastrointestinal disorders, and musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders. CONCLUSION Once-weekly subcutaneous injection of teriparatide significantly reduced the incidence of morphometric vertebral fractures compared with alendronate in women with primary osteoporosis who were at high risk of fracture.

Endocr Metab Immune Disord Drug Targets 2021; 21:932-942. [PMID: 33109070 DOI: 10.2174/1871530320999200817114817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2020] [Revised: 06/21/2020] [Accepted: 06/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Objective:
The objective of this meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy and safety of
teriparatide versus salmon calcitonin for the treatment of osteoporosis in Asian patients and to investigate
whether the results of global studies could be applicable to Asian patients.
Methods:
PubMed, OVID, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and EMBASE
up to December 2018 were searched. Eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared teriparatide
versus salmon calcitonin in Asian osteoporosis population were included. Preferred Reporting
Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used for data synthesis,
and Cochrane Collaboration software Review Manager 5.3 was used to analyze the pooled data.
Results:
Three RCTs involving 529 patients were included (mean age 68.7 yr; 93.4% females; mean
follow-up 6 months); outcome measures included bone mineral density (BMD) of the femoral neck,
total hip and lumbar spine; bone markers and adverse events. We found that the period of 6-months of
teriparatide treatment was helpful for the improvement of the BMD of lumbar vertebra, however, the
improvement of BMD was not significant in the femoral neck and total hip joint. There was a positive
correlation between bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP) and osteocalcin (OCN) and the response
of Asian patients to subcutaneous injection of 20 micrograms per day of teriparatide. The proportion
of the occurrence of adverse effects was more obvious in the teriparatide group compared with
salmon calcitonin, but there was no significant difference.
Conclusion:
Results suggested that the use of teriparatide could improve the lumbar BMD by shortterm
(six months) application in Asian osteoporosis patients, which is beneficial to the patients who
cannot tolerate adverse events of long-term treatment. The BSAP and OCN bone markers could be
useful to monitor the responses of Asian osteoporosis patients to teriparatide treatment. Finally, both of
teriparatide and salmon calcitonin were well tolerated by Asian patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There have been no reports of the effects of baseline lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS-BMD) and bone turnover marker levels on the therapeutic effect of a 28.2-μg teriparatide formulation for twice-weekly use (2/W-TPTD). MATERIALS AND METHODS An analysis was performed using data from a double-blind, randomized, non-inferiority trial (TWICE study) conducted with patients who received 2/W-TPTD or a 56.5-μg teriparatide formulation for once-weekly use (1/W-TPTD) for 48 weeks. The patients were divided into tertile groups based on baseline LS-BMD, urinary type I collagen cross-linked N-telopeptide (u-NTX), and serum type I procollagen-N-propeptide (P1NP) levels, respectively. Time profiles of these measurements were analyzed. Furthermore, whether a change in P1NP is a predictor for percentage change in BMD was assessed. RESULTS Across all tertile groups divided based on baseline LS-BMD and levels of bone turnover markers, the LS-BMD increased significantly. The u-NTX level decreased throughout the study period in the high- and middle-u-NTX-level groups. The P1NP level increased after 4 weeks, but subsequently decreased after 12 weeks and thereafter in the high-P1NP-level group; it increased after 4 weeks and subsequently fluctuated near the baseline level in the middle-P1NP-level group. A cut-off value of 12.0 µg/L for change in P1NP after 4 weeks of 2/W-TPTD as a predictor for percentage change in LS-BMD of 3% or more after 48 weeks gave a positive predictive value of 89.6%. CONCLUSION 2/W-TPTD, just like 1/W-TPTD, improved LS-BMD significantly, regardless of baseline LS-BMD and bone turnover marker levels.

Abstract
Objectives To assess differences in efficacy of a 28.2-μg teriparatide formulation for twice-weekly use (2/W-TPTD) by patient characteristics. Methods A post hoc analysis was performed using data from a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, non-inferiority trial (TWICE study) conducted in Japan comparing the efficacies of once-weekly and twice-weekly injections of teriparatide (TPTD). Specifically, a stratified analysis of percentage changes from baseline was performed using the final data on lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) after a 48-week treatment period (n = 251, 2/W-TPTD; n = 239, a 56.5-μg teriparatide formulation for once-weekly use [1/W-TPTD]). Results Across all subgroups defined by patient characteristics that included 9 or more subjects, the lumbar spine BMD increased significantly in both groups. In the 2/W-TPTD group, the percentage change was significantly higher in subjects with no non-vertebral fractures without large external force occurring at or after age 50 years versus those with such fractures. The lower the stratification in baseline lumbar spine BMD, total hip BMD, or femoral neck BMD, the greater was the percentage change. Conclusions Whereas all subgroups can expect a significant improvement in lumbar spine BMD, there were some patient characteristics that affected the percentage increase in BMD.

Abstract
We conducted an updated review of the evidence of teriparatide (TPTD) for fracture healing for the following questions. (1) Does it decrease fracture healing time?; (2) Can it be an alternative treatment for nonunion?; (3) Does it aid the union of atypical femoral fracture (AFF)? We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library including “Fracture” AND “nonunion” AND “Teriparatide”. In total, 57 publications met our inclusion criteria were summarized. This systemic review of the available literature revealed that TPTD works positively with regard to enhancing fracture healing time and union of AFF. There are also many case studies on the use of TPTD could be a potential new safe treatment for nonunion with no side effects. However, level 1 studies on the evidence of TPTD are still lacking so far. Over the last decade, a growing body of evidence has accumulated suggesting that TPTD can be an adjunct to enhance fracture healing or a therapeutic option to treat nonunion, but greater evidences from large volume prospective trials are needed.

Impact of reference point selection on DXA-based measurement of forearm bone mineral density. Arch Osteoporos 2019; 14:107. [PMID: 31707587 PMCID: PMC9721067 DOI: 10.1007/s11657-019-0658-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2019] [Accepted: 10/09/2019] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Few studies have systematically evaluated the technical aspects of forearm bone mineral density (BMD) measurement. We found that BMD remained stable regardless of the reference point; however, the ROI identified was not always consistent. Our study highlights the importance of using the same reference point for serial measurements of forearm BMD. BACKGROUND Forearm fractures are clinically important outcomes from the perspective of morbidity, health care costs, and interruption of work. BMD of the forearm, as derived by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), is a better predictor of fracture at the forearm compared with BMD measured at other sites. However, very few studies have evaluated the technical aspects of selecting the ROI for forearm BMD measurement. This study aimed to compare the BMD values measured at the 1/3 radius site using three different reference points: the ulnar styloid process, the radial endplate, and the bifurcation of the ulna and radius. METHODOLOGY Healthy Chinese patients participating in the control group of an ongoing study at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital were recruited for this study. For each patient, a DXA scan (GE Lunar Prodigy) of the forearm was performed and BMD values were separately calculated using each of the three reference points to identify the ROI. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to examine the correlation between the BMD measures derived from each reference point. The F test and independent t test were applied for more robust analysis of the differences in the variances and means. RESULTS Sixty-eight healthy Chinese volunteers agreed to participate in this study. The root mean square standard deviation (RMS-SD) percentages of BMD values measured at the 1/3 radius site were 2.19%, 2.23%, and 2.20% when using the ulnar styloid process, radial endplate, and the bifurcation of the ulna and radius as the reference points, respectively. Pearson's correlation coefficients for all pairwise comparisons among these three groups were greater than 0.99. F tests and independent t tests showed p values ranging from 0.92 to 0.99. However, we observed that among 10% of patients, choosing an ROI at the ulnar styloid process led to an inability to accurately determine the BMD at the ultra-distal radius. CONCLUSIONS Given equal ability to determine BMD at the 1/3 radius accurately, the radial endplate or the bifurcation of the ulna and radius should be preferentially selected as the reference point for routine forearm BMD measurements in order to avoid situations in which the ultra-distal radius BMD cannot be determined.

Abstract
UNLABELLED 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-μg twice-weekly regimen of teriparatide can provide comparable efficacy to a 56.5-μg once-weekly regimen of teriparatide, while also improving safety. INTRODUCTION While a 56.5-μg 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-μg teriparatide can provide comparable efficacy to the 56.5-μg once-weekly regimen while improving safety. METHODS A 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-μg twice-weekly group (n = 277) or the 56.5-μg 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. RESULTS The percentage changes in lumbar spine (L2-L4) BMD at final follow-up in the 28.2-μg twice-weekly and 56.5-μg 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-μg twice-weekly group was demonstrated. Adverse drug reactions were significantly less frequent in the 28.2-μg 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-μg twice-weekly group. CONCLUSIONS A 28.2-μg twice-weekly regimen of teriparatide can provide comparable efficacy to a 56.5-μg once-weekly regimen while improving safety. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION JapicCTI-163477 .

Abstract
Objectives The impact of patient background factors on changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolic markers after treatment with once-weekly teriparatide (W-TPTD) has not been fully elucidated. To clarify the impact, I performed stratified analysis in addition to the efficacy and safety assessments to analyze treatment data with W-TPTD. Methods The primary endpoint of the efficacy was the rate of change of the lumbar spine BMD at 18 months after treatment. In the exploratory analysis, bone metabolic markers at baseline were used to divide the patients into 3 groups, by the first tertile and the second tertile. The rate of change in the lumbar spine/femoral neck BMD and bone metabolic markers in each group were analyzed by stratification. Results The rate of change in the lumbar spine BMD at 18 months was 9.0%, which represented a significant increase. The rate of change in the lumbar spine/femoral neck BMD in each group classified into tertiles by their baseline bone metabolic markers significantly increased, regardless of the type of bone metabolic markers and baseline value. For markers, all groups remained within the range of reference values at 18 months after treatment. Conclusions I demonstrated that W-TPTD significantly increased the BMD of the lumbar spine and femur, regardless of baseline values of the bone metabolic markers. In addition, W-TPTD was able to normalize bone metabolic markers. I considered that W-TPTD would be useful, independent of bone metabolic markers in patients, as an agent to improve BMD, and be a useful option for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Safety Profiles, Pharmacokinetics, and Changes in Bone Turnover Markers After Twice-Weekly Subcutaneous Administration of Teriparatide in Healthy Japanese Postmenopausal Women: A Single-Blind Randomized Study. Clin Pharmacol Drug Dev 2019; 9:87-96.

Abstract
Once‐weekly injection of 56.5‐μg teriparatide formulation is a potent therapeutic agent for osteoporosis treatment. However, this treatment has an issue of difficulty in continuing the treatment by its adverse side effects including nausea, vomiting, and headaches. To reduce these adverse side effects, we conducted a randomized, single‐blind, placebo‐controlled study to examine the pharmacokinetics, changes in bone turnover markers, and safety profiles of twice‐weekly 28.2‐μg teriparatide injections. Different dosing intervals of the twice‐weekly 28.2‐μg injections were also studied. A total of 100 healthy Japanese postmenopausal women were enrolled in this multiple‐dosing study. The systemic exposure of teriparatide acetate in the twice‐weekly 28.2‐μg injection was half that of the once‐weekly 56.5‐μg injection. Changes in bone turnover markers in the twice‐weekly 28.2‐μg injection were comparable to those in the once‐weekly 56.5‐μg injection. Incidences of adverse events including nausea, vomiting, and headaches were lower in the twice‐weekly 28.2‐μg injections than those in the once‐weekly 56.5‐μg injection. Findings were similar in the twice‐weekly 28.2‐μg injections regardless of the dosing interval. Thus, the new dosing regimen using twice‐weekly 28.2‐μg injections maintained comparable efficacy to the once‐weekly 56.5‐μg injections; however, it improved the safety profile and contributed to better continuity of care with teriparatide.

Abstract
Human parathyroid hormone (1-34) (PTH) has been widely used as the subcutaneous injection formulation for the treatment of osteoporosis. In the present study, we developed an efficient transdermal delivery system of PTH by using dissolving microneedle arrays (MNs) composed of hyaluronic acid (HA) for the treatment of osteoporosis. PTH-loaded MNs, with needle length 800 µm, were fabricated via a micro-molding method. The stability of PTH in MNs was found to be 6-fold higher than that of PTH solution when stored at room temperature (15–20 °C) for one month. Micron-scale pores were clearly visible in rat skin following application of PTH-loaded MNs. PTH-loaded MNs were completely dissolved by 60 min following application to rat skin. The bioavailability (BA) of PTH relative to subcutaneous injection was 100 ± 4% following application of PTH-loaded MNs in rats. In addition, PTH-loaded MNs were found to effectively suppress decreases in bone density in a rat model of osteoporosis. Furthermore, no skin irritation was observed at the site of application in rats. These findings indicate that our dissolving MNs have a potential use in formulations for the transdermal delivery of PTH and for the treatment of osteoporosis.

[PMID: 30775538 PMCID: PMC6362952 DOI: 10.1016/j.afos.2018.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2017] [Revised: 01/26/2018] [Accepted: 02/06/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives As clinics that treat patients with osteoporosis do not usually have central dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), bone density is often measured with radial DXA. However, no long-term evidence exists for radius bone density outcomes following treatment with once-weekly teriparatide in actual medical treatment. Methods We evaluated changes in bone density at 6-, 12-, and 18-month intervals using radial DXA in patients treated with once-weekly teriparatide for more than 6 months. Results A significant increase in bone mineral density (BMD) was observed at the 1/3 and 1/10 radius sites 12 months after the initiation of once-weekly teriparatide. We also observed that the rate of change in BMD was greater at the distal 1/10 radius than at the 1/3 radius. Conclusions Considering these points, the effect of once-weekly teriparatide therapy can be observed at the radius. In clinics that do not have central DXA, but instead have radial DXA, these findings can help to evaluate the effect of once-weekly teriparatide treatment on osteoporosis.
