Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that teriparatide is superior to the active comparator in the change from baseline to 18 months of lumbar spine volumetric trabecular bone mineral density (BMD) in males with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

This study is a multinational, European, multicenter, randomized, open-label, active comparator controlled study with 2 study periods: a screening phase of up to 6 weeks, and an open-label treatment phase of 18 months. Approximately 100 adult men with osteoporosis associated with sustained glucocorticoid therapy will be enrolled into the study. Approximately one-half of the participants (at all investigational sites) will be randomized to teriparatide 20 micrograms/day (ug/day given as a subcutaneous (sc) injection), and the other half randomized to risedronate 35 milligrams (mg) once weekly (QW) oral (po) tablet. All participants will receive approximately 1000 mg/day elemental calcium and 800 to 1200 international units per day (IU/day) of vitamin D.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Lumbar Spine Volumetric Trabecular Bone Mineral Density (BMD) by Quantitative Computerized Tomography (QCT) at 18 Months [Baseline, 18 months]

      Least Squares (LS) Means were adjusted for age, baseline serum aminoterminal propeptide of Type I procollagen (P1NP), fracture less than 12 months before study start, duration of prior bisphosphonate use, screening glucocorticoid dose, and cumulative glucocorticoid dose before and during the trial.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Lumbar Spine Volumetric Trabecular Bone Mineral Density (BMD) by Quantitative Computerized Technology (QCT) at 6 Months [Baseline, 6 months]

      Least Squares (LS) Means were adjusted for age, baseline propeptide of Type I procollagen (P1NP), fracture less than 12 months before study start, duration of prior bisphosphonate use, screening glucocorticoid dose, and cumulative glucocorticoid dose before and during the trial.

    2. Change From Baseline in High Resolution Quantitative Computerized Technology (HR-QCT) of Integral and Trabecular Bone Mineral Density (BMD) of the 12th Thoracic Vertebra (T12) at 6 Months and 18 Months [Baseline, 6 months, 18 months]

      Three-dimensional (3-D) microstructure variables of T12 were assessed by HR-QCT. In contrast with regular QCT that assessed 3 millimeter (mm) slide thickness, HR-QCT used segmentation of 1 single vertebra with approximately 100 consecutive slides reconstructed at 300-400 micrometer (µm) slice increments covering the complete vertebral body. Least Squares (LS) Means were adjusted for age, baseline P1NP, fracture less than 12 months before study start, duration of prior bisphosphonate use, screening glucocorticoid dose, and cumulative glucocorticoid dose before and during the trial.

    3. Change From Baseline in Anterior Bending and Axial Torsion by Finite Element Analysis in the 12th Thoracic Vertebra (T12) at 6 Months and 18 Months: Stiffness and Strength [Baseline, 6 months, 18 months]

      Anterior bending and axial torsion were measured using HR-QCT-based finite element analysis to determine stiffness and strength of T12. Stiffness evaluated strength of the vertebral body, defined as the slope of the initial step of the force-displacement curve. Strength of the vertebral body was evaluated under compressive loading conditions using computer simulation. LS Means were adjusted for age, baseline P1NP, fracture less than 12 months before study start, duration of prior bisphosphonate use, screening glucocorticoid dose, and cumulative glucocorticoid dose before and during the trial.

    4. Change From Baseline in Axial Compression by Finite Element Analysis in the 12th Thoracic Vertebra (T12) at 6 Months and 18 Months: Stiffness and Strength [Baseline, 6 months, 18 months]

      Axial compression was measured using HR-QCT-based finite element analysis to determine stiffness and strength of T12. Stiffness evaluated the strength of the vertebral body, defined as the slope of the initial step of the force-displacement curve. Strength of the vertebral body was evaluated under compressive loading conditions using computer simulation. LS Means were adjusted for age, baseline P1NP, fracture less than 12 months before study start, duration of prior bisphosphonate use, screening glucocorticoid dose, and cumulative glucocorticoid dose before and during the trial.

    5. Change From Baseline in Areal Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at Lumbar Spine, Femoral Neck, and Total Hip at 18 Months [Baseline, 18 months]

      Dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) techniques validated this measurement at skeletal sites that are at risk of osteoporotic fracture, such as lumbar spine, femoral neck, and hip.

    6. Change From Baseline in Serum Aminoterminal Propeptide of Type I Procollagen (P1NP) at 3 Months, 6 Months, and 18 Months [Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 18 months]

      P1NP was used as a serum biochemical marker of collagen synthesis, reflecting the formation of new osteoid.

    7. Change From Baseline in Serum Type I Collagen Degradation Fragments (β-CTx) at 3 Months, 6 Months, and 18 Months [3, 6, 18 months]

      β-CTx was used as a biochemical marker of bone turnover/resorption, reflecting collagen breakdown of the bone matrix.

    8. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) [Baseline up to 18 months]

      Summary tables of serious AEs (SAEs) and all other non-serious AEs are located in the Reported Adverse Event Module. Fractures that occurred during the study were collected separately as an additional safety variable. The number of participants experiencing hypercalcemia was summarized for each treatment arm. Hypercalcemia was defined as a serum calcium level corrected for albumin of >2.7 millimole per liter (mmol/L) (10.8 milligram per deciliter [mg/dL]).

    7. Secondary Outcome
    Title Change From Baseline in Serum Aminoterminal Propeptide of Type I Procollagen (P1NP) at 3 Months, 6 Months, and 18 Months
    Description P1NP was used as a serum biochemical marker of collagen synthesis, reflecting the formation of new osteoid.
    Time Frame Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 18 months

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The analysis population was the full analysis set (FAS), which included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication.

    Title Change From Baseline in Serum Type I Collagen Degradation Fragments (β-CTx) at 3 Months, 6 Months, and 18 Months
    Description β-CTx was used as a biochemical marker of bone turnover/resorption, reflecting collagen breakdown of the bone matrix.
    Time Frame 3, 6, 18 months

    9. Secondary Outcome
    Title Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
    Description Summary tables of serious AEs (SAEs) and all other non-serious AEs are located in the Reported Adverse Event Module. Fractures that occurred during the study were collected separately as an additional safety variable. The number of participants experiencing hypercalcemia was summarized for each treatment arm. Hypercalcemia was defined as a serum calcium level corrected for albumin of >2.7 millimole per liter (mmol/L) (10.8 milligram per deciliter [mg/dL]).
    Time Frame Baseline up to 18 months
