Item Burosumab Therapy in Children with X-Linked Hypophosphatemia(Massachusetts Medical Society, 2018-05) Carpenter, Thomas O.; Whyte, Michael P.; Imel, Erik A.; Boot, Annemieke M.; Högler, Wolfgang; Linglart, Agnès; Padidela, Raja; van't Hoff, William; Mao, Meng; Chen, Chao-Yin; Skrinar, Alison; Kakkis, Emil; San Martin, Javier; Portale, Anthony A.; Medicine, School of MedicineBACKGROUND X-linked hypophosphatemia is characterized by increased secretion of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23), which leads to hypophosphatemia and consequently rickets, osteomalacia, and skeletal deformities. We investigated burosumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets FGF-23, in patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia. METHODS In an open-label, phase 2 trial, we randomly assigned 52 children with X-linked hypophosphatemia, in a 1:1 ratio, to receive subcutaneous burosumab either every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks; the dose was adjusted to achieve a serum phosphorus level at the low end of the normal range. The primary end point was the change from baseline to weeks 40 and 64 in the Thacher rickets severity total score (ranging from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater disease severity). In addition, the Radiographic Global Impression of Change was used to evaluate rachitic changes from baseline to week 40 and to week 64. Additional end points were changes in pharmacodynamic markers, linear growth, physical ability, and patient-reported outcomes and the incidence of adverse events. RESULTS The mean Thacher rickets severity total score decreased from 1.9 at baseline to 0.8 at week 40 with every-2-week dosing and from 1.7 at baseline to 1.1 at week 40 with every-4-week dosing (P<0.001 for both comparisons); these improvements persisted at week 64. The mean serum phosphorus level increased after the first dose in both groups, and more than half the patients in both groups had levels within the normal range (3.2 to 6.1 mg per deciliter [1.0 to 2.0 mmol per liter]) by week 6. Stable serum phosphorus levels were maintained through week 64 with every-2-week dosing. Renal tubular phosphate reabsorption increased from baseline in both groups, with an overall mean increase of 0.98 mg per deciliter (0.32 mmol per liter). The mean dose of burosumab at week 40 was 0.98 mg per kilogram of body weight with every-2-week dosing and 1.50 mg per kilogram with every-4-week dosing. Across both groups, the mean serum alkaline phosphatase level decreased from 459 U per liter at baseline to 369 U per liter at week 64. The mean standing-height z score increased in both groups, with greater improvement seen at all time points with every-2-week dosing (an increase from baseline of 0.19 at week 64) than with every-4-week dosing (an increase from baseline of 0.12 at week 64). Physical ability improved and pain decreased. Nearly all the adverse events were mild or moderate in severity. CONCLUSIONS In children with X-linked hypophosphatemia, treatment with burosumab improved renal tubular phosphate reabsorption, serum phosphorus levels, linear growth, and physical function and reduced pain and the severity of rickets.Item Continued Beneficial Effects of Burosumab in Adults with X-Linked Hypophosphatemia: Results from a 24-Week Treatment Continuation Period After a 24-Week Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Period(Springer, 2019-09-01) Portale, Anthony A.; Carpenter, Thomas O.; Brandi, Maria Luisa; Briot, Karine; Cheong, Hae II; Cohen-Solal, Martine; Crowley, Rachel; Jan De Beur, Suzanne; Eastell, Richard; Imanishi, Yasuo; Imel, Erik A.; Ing, Steven; Ito, Nobuaki; Javaid, Muhammad; Kamenicky, Peter; Keen, Richard; Kubota, Takuo; Lachmann, Robin; Perwad, Farzana; Pitukcheewanont, Pisit; Ralston, Stuart H.; Takeuchi, Yasuhiro; Tanaka, Hiroyuki; Weber, Thomas J.; Yoo, Han-Wook; Zhang, Lin; Theodore-Oklota, Christina; Mealiffe, Matt; San Martin, Javier; Insogna, Karl; Medicine, School of MedicineBurosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody to FGF23, is the only approved treatment for X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), a rare genetic disorder characterized by renal phosphate wasting and substantial cumulative musculoskeletal morbidity. During an initial 24-week randomized, controlled trial, 134 adults with XLH received burosumab 1 mg/kg (n = 68) or placebo (n = 66) every 4 weeks. After 24 weeks, all subjects received open-label burosumab until week 48. This report describes the efficacy and safety of burosumab during the open-label treatment period. From weeks 24–48, serum phosphorus concentrations remained normal in 83.8% of participants who received burosumab throughout and were normalized in 89.4% who received burosumab after placebo. By week 48, 63.1% of baseline fractures/pseudofractures healed fully with burosumab, compared with 35.2% with burosumab after placebo. In both groups, burosumab was associated with clinically significant and sustained improvement from baseline to week 48 in scores for patient-reported outcomes of stiffness, pain, physical function, and total distance walked in 6 min. Rates of adverse events were similar for burosumab and placebo. There were no fatal adverse events or treatment-related serious adverse events. Nephrocalcinosis scores did not change from baseline by more than one grade at either week 24 or 48. These data demonstrate that in participants with XLH, continued treatment with burosumab is well tolerated and leads to sustained correction of serum phosphorus levels, continued healing of fractures and pseudofractures, and sustained improvement in key musculoskeletal impairments.Item OR13-1 Burosumab Improves the Biochemical, Skeletal, and Clinical Symptoms of Tumor-Induced Osteomalacia Syndrome(Oxford University Press, 2019-04-15) Jan De Beur, Suzanne; Miller, Paul; Weber, Thomas; Peacock, Munro; Insogna, Karl; Kumar, Rajiv; Luca, Diana; Theodore-Oklota, Christina; Lampl, Kathy; San Martin, Javier; Carpenter, Thomas; Medicine, School of MedicineTumor-induced Osteomalacia (TIO) and Epidermal Nevus Syndrome with osteomalacia (ENS) are rare conditions in which ectopic production of FGF23 by tumor (TIO) and bone (ENS) lead to renal phosphate wasting, impaired 1,25(OH)2D synthesis, osteomalacia, fractures, weakness, fatigue and decreased mobility. In an ongoing open-label Phase 2 study (NCT02304367), 17 adults were enrolled and treated with burosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody against FGF23. Key endpoints were change in serum phosphorus and osteomalacia as assessed from trans-iliac crest bone biopsies. The per protocol (PP) analysis included 14/17 subjects who received 0.3-2.0 mg/kg burosumab every 4 weeks (W). Three subjects were excluded: 1 received subthreshold dosing (0.3 mg/kg at Day 0 and 0.15 mg/kg at W8, W32, and W72); 2 were diagnosed with X-linked hypophosphatemia post-enrollment. Ten subjects in the PP group had paired bone biopsies at baseline and W48. Mean ± SE histomorphometric values for the 8/10 subjects with osteomalacia at baseline were 20.4 ± 4.2 µm for osteoid thickness (OT), 23.0 ± 7.2% for osteoid volume/bone volume (OV/BV), and 66.1 ± 10.6% for osteoid surface/bone surface (OS/BS); baseline median (Q1, Q3) for mineralization lag time (MLT) was 1672 (1102, 2929) days. At W48, histomorphometric indices improved as shown by mean percentage changes in OT (37%), OV/BV (40%), OS/BS (-5%), and MLT (median percentage change -78%). Serum phosphorus, fatigue, and physical functioning are reported for the PP group. Mean (SD) serum phosphorus was 1.5 (0.3) mg/dL at baseline and 2.6 (0.8) mg/dL when averaged across the mid-point of the dose interval through W24. After W24, serum phosphorus, assessed only at the end of the dose interval, maintained this increase through W72. Mean (SD) Global Fatigue Score decreased from 5.3 (2.8) at baseline to 3.6 (2.9) at W48 (p=0.020) and to 3.3 (2.7) at W72 (p=0.004). The SF-36 mean (SD) physical component summary score increased from 34 (11) at baseline to 39 (10) at W48 (p=0.059) and to 42 (10) at W72 (p=0.003). Mean (SD) vitality score increased from 41 (14) to 47 (12) at W48 (p=0.075) and to 49 (12) at W72 (p=0.012). The mean (SD) number of sit-to-stand repetitions increased from 6.9 (4.0) at baseline to 8.6 (4.2) at W48 (n=10; p=0.004). By W72, all 17 subjects had ≥1 adverse event (AE). There were 13 serious AEs in 6 subjects, none were considered drug-related. Tumor progression occurred only in subjects with a history of tumor progression prior to enrollment. One subject discontinued treatment prior to W48 to treat tumor progression with chemotherapy. There was 1 death, considered unrelated to treatment. In adults with TIO Syndrome, burosumab was associated with improvements in serum phosphorus, osteomalacia, mobility, quality of life, and reductions in fatigue.Item OR13-2 Burosumab Resulted in Greater Improvement in Rickets Than Conventional Therapy in Children with X-Linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH)(Oxford University Press, 2019-04-15) Imel, Erik; Whyte, Michael; Munns, Craig; Portale, Anthony; Ward, Leanne; Nilsson, Ola; Simmons, Jill; Padidela, Raja; Namba, Noriyuki; Cheong, Hae Il; Mao, Meng; Chen, Chao-Yin; Skrinar, Alison; San Martin, Javier; Glorieux, Francis; Medicine, School of MedicineXLH is characterized by excess FGF23, hypophosphatemia, skeletal deformities, and growth impairment. For the last 40 years, XLH has been treated with multiple daily doses of oral phosphate and active vitamin D (Pi/D). Burosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody to FGF23, has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of XLH in patients ≥1 year-old. In this Phase 3 trial (NCT02915705), 61 children with XLH (1-12 years old) were randomized (1:1) to receive subcutaneous burosumab starting at 0.8 mg/kg every 2 weeks or continue Pi/D titrated and individualized for each subject by investigators. Eligibility criteria included a Total Rickets Severity Score (RSS) ≥2.0 despite prior treatment with Pi/D (>7-day washout before baseline). The primary endpoint was healing of rickets at Week 40 assessed by radiologists blinded to treatment using the Radiographic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C). The mean ± SE daily oral phosphate dose from baseline to Week 40 was 37.8 ± 3.2 mg/kg, with >99% compliance reported based on days of dosing. Compared with Pi/D, 40 weeks of burosumab resulted in a greater LS mean ± SE increase in serum phosphorus (0.92 ± 0.08 vs 0.20 ± 0.06 mg/dL), TmP/GFR (1.19 ± 0.11 vs -0.16 ± 0.05 mg/dL), and 1,25(OH)2D (30 ± 4 vs 19 ± 4 pg/mL). At Week 40, rickets improved in both groups; RGI-C global score was significantly higher in burosumab subjects than in Pi/D subjects (LS mean ± SE: +1.9 ± 0.1 vs +0.8 ± 0.1; p<0.0001). More burosumab subjects had substantial healing (RGI-C ≥+2.0), compared with Pi/D subjects (21/29, 72% vs 2/32, 6%; odds ratio of 39.1, p<0.0001). Improvement in the RGI-C lower limb deformity score was greater with burosumab than with Pi/D (+0.62 ± 0.12 vs +0.21 ± 0.12; p=0.02). Alkaline phosphatase decreased more with burosumab compared with Pi/D (-131 ± 13 vs 35 ± 19; p<0.0001). Consistent with decreases in rickets severity, burosumab improved growth and mobility. Standing height Z-score increased by a LS mean change (95% CI) of +0.15 (0.05, 0.25) for burosumab and +0.08 (-0.02, 0.19) for Pi/D. The 6 Minute Walk Test percent predicted distance increased with burosumab (Baseline to Week 40: 62% to 72%) and was unchanged with Pi/D (76% to 75%). Nephrocalcinosis score (range 0-4) shifted 0 in 20 Pi/D and 24 burosumab subjects; +1 in 3 Pi/D and 0 burosumab subjects; and -1 in 3 Pi/D and 2 burosumab subjects. Pre-defined adverse events (AEs) of interest, including hypersensitivity and injection site reactions, were higher in the burosumab group and were mild to moderate in severity overall. There were 4 serious AEs (3 burosumab, 1 Pi/D); none were treatment-related and all resolved. No subject discontinued study drug in either group. Data after 64 weeks of treatment will be available at the time of presentation. In this randomized Phase 3 trial, burosumab resulted in increases in growth and mobility, and significantly greater improvements in rickets than Pi/D in 1-12 year-old children with XLH.Item A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 3 Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of Burosumab, an Anti-FGF23 Antibody, in Adults With X-Linked Hypophosphatemia: Week 24 Primary Analysis(Wiley, 2018-08) Insogna, Karl L.; Briot, Karine; Imel, Erik A.; Kamenický, Peter; Ruppe, Mary D.; Portale, Anthony A.; Weber, Thomas; Pitukcheewanont, Pisit; Cheong, Hae Il; Jan de Beur, Suzanne; Imanishi, Yasuo; Ito, Nobuaki; Lachmann, Robin H.; Tanaka, Hiroyuki; Perwad, Farzana; Zhang, Lin; Chen, Chao-Yin; Theodore-Oklota, Christina; Mealiffe, Matt; San Martin, Javier; Carpenter, Thomas O.; Pediatrics, School of MedicineIn X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), inherited loss-of-function mutations in the PHEX gene cause excess circulating levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), leading to lifelong renal phosphate wasting and hypophosphatemia. Adults with XLH present with chronic musculoskeletal pain and stiffness, short stature, lower limb deformities, fractures, and pseudofractures due to osteomalacia, accelerated osteoarthritis, dental abscesses, and enthesopathy. Burosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody, binds and inhibits FGF23 to correct hypophosphatemia. This report summarizes results from a double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial of burosumab in symptomatic adults with XLH. Participants with hypophosphatemia and pain were assigned 1:1 to burosumab 1 mg/kg (n = 68) or placebo (n = 66) subcutaneously every 4 weeks (Q4W) and were comparable at baseline. Across midpoints of dosing intervals, 94.1% of burosumab-treated participants attained mean serum phosphate concentration above the lower limit of normal compared with 7.6% of those receiving placebo (p < 0.001). Burosumab significantly reduced the Western Ontario and the McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) stiffness subscale compared with placebo (least squares [LS] mean ± standard error [SE] difference, -8.1 ± 3.24; p = 0.012). Reductions in WOMAC physical function subscale (-4.9 ± 2.48; p = 0.048) and Brief Pain Inventory worst pain (-0.5 ± 0.28; p = 0.092) did not achieve statistical significance after Hochberg multiplicity adjustment. At week 24, 43.1% (burosumab) and 7.7% (placebo) of baseline active fractures were fully healed; the odds of healed fracture in the burosumab group was 16.8-fold greater than that in the placebo group (p < 0.001). Biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption increased significantly from baseline with burosumab treatment compared with placebo. The safety profile of burosumab was similar to placebo. There were no treatment-related serious adverse events or meaningful changes from baseline in serum or urine calcium, intact parathyroid hormone, or nephrocalcinosis. These data support the conclusion that burosumab is a novel therapeutic addressing an important medical need in adults with XLH.© 2018 The Authors.
