    (BMJ, 2021) Briot, Karine; Portale, Anthony A.; Brandi, Maria Luisa; Carpenter, Thomas O.; Cheong, Hae Ii; Cohen-Solal, Martine; Crowley, Rachel K.; Eastell, Richard; Imanishi, Yasuo; Ing, Steven; Insogna, Karl; Ito, Nobuaki; de Beur, Suzanne Jan; Javaid, Muhammad K.; Kamenicky, Peter; Keen, Richard; Kubota, Takuo; Lachmann, Robin H.; Perwad, Farzana; Pitukcheewanont, Pisit; Ralston, Stuart H.; Takeuchi, Yasuhiro; Tanaka, Hiroyuki; Weber, Thomas J.; Yoo, Han-Wook; Nixon, Annabel; Nixon, Mark; Sun, Wei; Williams, Angela; Imel, Erik A.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Objectives: To report the impact of burosumab on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and ambulatory function in adults with X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) through 96 weeks. Methods: Adults diagnosed with XLH were randomised 1:1 in a double-blinded trial to receive subcutaneous burosumab 1 mg/kg or placebo every 4 weeks for 24 weeks (NCT02526160). Thereafter, all subjects received burosumab every 4 weeks until week 96. PROs were measured using the Western Ontario and the McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) and Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI), and ambulatory function was measured with the 6 min walk test (6MWT). Results: Subjects (N=134) were randomised to burosumab (n=68) or placebo (n=66) for 24 weeks. At baseline, subjects experienced pain, stiffness, and impaired physical and ambulatory function. At week 24, subjects receiving burosumab achieved statistically significant improvement in some BPI-SF scores, BFI worst fatigue (average and greatest) and WOMAC stiffness. At week 48, all WOMAC and BPI-SF scores achieved statistically significant improvement, with some WOMAC and BFI scores achieving meaningful and significant change from baseline. At week 96, all WOMAC, BPI-SF and BFI achieved statistically significant improvement, with selected scores in all measures also achieving meaningful change. Improvement in 6MWT distance and percent predicted were statistically significant at all time points from 24 weeks. Conclusions: Adults with XLH have substantial burden of disease as assessed by PROs and 6MWT. Burosumab treatment improved phosphate homoeostasis and was associated with a steady and consistent improvement in PROs and ambulatory function.

    Healthcare Resource Use Associated With Tumor-Induced Osteomalacia: A Literature Review
    (Oxford University Press, 2024) Jan de Beur, Suzanne M.; Dahir, Kathryn M.; Imel, Erik A.; Zanchetta, María Belén; Williams, Angela; Li, Zhiyi; Webb, Neil; Crowe, Victoria; Johnson, Ben; Carpenter, Thomas O.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Context: Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is an ultra-rare, paraneoplastic syndrome caused by tumors that secrete fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Initial signs and musculoskeletal symptoms can be nonspecific and unrecognized, leading to long delays in diagnosis and treatment, and resulting in severe and progressive disability in patients with TIO. Objective: This review aimed to identify published evidence on healthcare resource use in TIO to better understand the burden of the disease. Evidence acquisition: A targeted literature review was conducted to identify publications reporting on disease characteristics and healthcare resource use associated with TIO. Evidence synthesis: In total, 414 publications were included in the review, of which 376 were case reports. From the case reports, data on 621 patients were extracted. These patients had a mean (SD) age of 46.3 (15.8) years; 57.6% were male. Mean time from first symptoms to diagnosis of TIO was 4.6 (4.7) years and, in cases where imaging tests were reported, patients underwent a mean of 4.1 (2.7) procedures. Tumor resection was attempted in 81.0% of patients and successful in 67.0%. Fracture was reported in 49.3% of patients. Results from association analyses demonstrated that longer time to diagnosis was associated with poorer tumor resection outcomes and a higher probability of tumor recurrence. Unfavorable tumor resection outcomes were associated with greater use of pharmacologic treatment and a greater likelihood of orthopedic surgery. Conclusion: TIO is associated with a substantial healthcare resource burden. Improvements in the diagnostic process could lead to better management of TIO, thereby benefiting patients and reducing that burden.

    Musculoskeletal Features in Adults With X-linked Hypophosphatemia: An Analysis of Clinical Trial and Survey Data
    (Endocrine Society, 2022) Javaid, Muhammad Kassim; Ward, Leanne; Pinedo-Villanueva, Rafael; Rylands, Angela J.; Williams, Angela; Insogna, Karl; Imel, Erik A.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Context: Patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) experience multiple musculoskeletal manifestations throughout adulthood. Objective: To describe the burden of musculoskeletal features and associated surgeries across the lifespan of adults with XLH. Methods: Three groups of adults were analyzed: subjects of a clinical trial, participants in an online survey, and a subgroup of the online survey participants considered comparable to the clinical trial subjects (according to Brief Pain Inventory worst pain scores of ≥ 4). In each group, the adults were categorized by age: 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and ≥ 60 years. Rates of 5 prespecified musculoskeletal features and associated surgeries were investigated across these age bands for the 3 groups. Results: Data from 336 adults were analyzed. In all 3 groups, 43% to 47% had a history of fracture, with the proportions increasing with age. The overall prevalence of osteoarthritis was > 50% in all 3 groups, with a rate of 23% to 37% in the 18- to 29-year-old group, and increasing with age. Similar patterns were observed for osteophytes and enthesopathy. Hip and knee arthroplasty was reported even in adults in their 30s. Spinal stenosis was present at a low prevalence, increasing with age. The proportion of adults with ≥ 2 musculoskeletal features was 59.1%, 55.0%, and 61.3% in the clinical trial group, survey group, and survey pain subgroup, respectively. Conclusion: This analysis confirmed high rates of multiple musculoskeletal features beginning as early as age 20 years among adults with XLH and gradually accumulating with age.

    Patient-Reported Outcomes from a Randomized, Active-Controlled, Open-Label, Phase 3 Trial of Burosumab Versus Conventional Therapy in Children with X-Linked Hypophosphatemia
    (Springer, 2021-05) Padidela, Raja; Whyte, Michael P.; Glorieux, Francis H.; Munns, Craig F.; Ward, Leanne M.; Nilsson, Ola; Portale, Anthony A.; Simmons, Jill H.; Namba, Noriyuki; Cheong, Hae Il; Pitukcheewanont, Pisit; Sochett, Etienne; Högler, Wolfgang; Muroya, Koji; Tanaka, Hiroyuki; Gottesman, Gary S.; Biggin, Andrew; Perwad, Farzana; Williams, Angela; Nixon, Annabel; Sun, Wei; Chen, Angel; Skrinar, Alison; Imel, Erik A.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Changing to burosumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting fibroblast growth factor 23, significantly improved phosphorus homeostasis, rickets, lower-extremity deformities, mobility, and growth versus continuing oral phosphate and active vitamin D (conventional therapy) in a randomized, open-label, phase 3 trial involving children aged 1-12 years with X-linked hypophosphatemia. Patients were randomized (1:1) to subcutaneous burosumab or to continue conventional therapy. We present patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from this trial for children aged ≥ 5 years at screening (n = 35), using a Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) questionnaire and SF-10 Health Survey for Children. PROMIS pain interference, physical function mobility, and fatigue scores improved from baseline with burosumab at weeks 40 and 64, but changed little with continued conventional therapy. Pain interference scores differed significantly between groups at week 40 (- 5.02, 95% CI - 9.29 to - 0.75; p = 0.0212) but not at week 64. Between-group differences were not significant at either week for physical function mobility or fatigue. Reductions in PROMIS pain interference and fatigue scores from baseline were clinically meaningful with burosumab at weeks 40 and 64 but not with conventional therapy. SF-10 physical health scores (PHS-10) improved significantly with burosumab at week 40 (least-squares mean [standard error] + 5.98 [1.79]; p = 0.0008) and week 64 (+ 5.93 [1.88]; p = 0.0016) but not with conventional therapy (between-treatment differences were nonsignificant). In conclusion, changing to burosumab improved PRO measures, with statistically significant differences in PROMIS pain interference at week 40 versus continuing with conventional therapy and in PHS-10 at weeks 40 and 64 versus baseline.
