Item 12589 Two Systematic Reviews Of Treatment Efficacy On Patient Important Outcomes In Adult X-linked Hypophosphatemia(Oxford University Press, 2024-10-05) Ali, Dalal S.; Mirza, Reza; Alsarraf, Farah; Hussein, Salma; Appelman-Dijkstra, Natasha; Beck-Nielsen, Signe Sparre; Biosse-Duplan, Martin; Brandi, Maria Luisa; Chaussain, Catherine; Cohen-Solal, Martine; Crowley, Rachel K.; Dandurand, Karel; Florenzano, Pablo F.; Fukumoto, Seiji; Gagnon, Claudia; Goodyer, Paul; Grasemann, Corinna; Imel, Erik Allen; De Beur, Suzanne Marie Jan; Lewiecki, E. Michael; Morgante, Emmett; Ward, Leanne; Aziz Khan, Aliya; Guyatt, Gordon; Medicine, School of MedicineObjective: Our objective was to examine the highest certainty evidence addressing the management of X-linked hypophosphatemia in adults, aiming to inform treatment recommendations. Eligibility criteria: We searched Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane from inception to March 2023 and included RCTs and observational studies enrolling individuals ≥ 18 years diagnosed with XLH on clinical grounds or with a confirmed pathogenic variant in PHEX. Manuscripts evaluating the effectiveness of burosumab compared to either no treatment or conventional therapy (phosphate salts and active vitamin D) or evaluating conventional therapy compared to no treatment were selected. Methods: Two reviewers independently determined eligibility, conducted data extraction, and assessed the risk of bias (RoB). GRADE was used to assess certainty of evidence. Results: After removing duplicates from 7,043 citations, we assessed 254 full texts. Of those, one RCT proved eligible. The RCT of burosumab versus no treatment was at low RoB with certainty of evidence on individual outcomes ranging from high to very low. Burosumab probably improves pain inferred from fracture and pseudofracture healing (moderate certainty); however, burosumab probably has little or no impact on direct pain measures (moderate certainty). While burosumab may reduce the need for parathyroidectomy, indicated by lowered PTH levels (low certainty), it has little or no impact on fatigue (high certainty), stiffness (moderate certainty), and mobility (low certainty) over 24 weeks. Burosumab may also increase dental abscesses (low certainty). No formal comparisons of burosumab and conventional therapy exist; therefore, our low certainty evidence inferences regarding burosumab versus conventional therapy were based on indirect evidence from comparisons of burosumab versus no treatment and from conventional therapy versus no treatment. Observational studies proved at high RoB providing very low certainty of evidence regarding the impact of conventional therapy versus no treatment. This evidence pertained to the reduction in the risk of parathyroidectomy, as well as the reduction in the burden of symptoms caused by chronic hypophosphatemia. Conclusion: Burosumab when compared to no treatment may improve pain through fracture healing and may reduce the need for parathyroidectomy, but it could also increase the risk of dental abscess. However, when using direct measures of pain and function, burosumab demonstrated probably little or no impact on pain and stiffness, little or no impact on fatigue, and may have had little to no impact on mobility. Very low certainty exists regarding conventional therapy versus no treatment in adults. Overall, our review highlights the need for more data to better understand the long-term impact of burosumab and conventional therapy on patient-important outcomes.Item 12605 Two Systematic Reviews Of Treatment Efficacy On Patient Important Outcomes In Children X-linked Hypophosphatemia(Oxford University Press, 2024-10-05) Ali, Dalal S.; Mirza, Reza; Hussein, Salma; Alsarraf, Farah; Alexander, R. Todd; AbuAlrob, Hajar; Brandi, Maria Luisa; Carpenter, Thomas O.; Dandurand, Karel; Filler, Guido; Florenzano, Pablo F.; Fukumoto, Seiji; Grasemann, Corinna; Imel, Erik A.; De Beur, Suzanne Marie Jan; Morgante, Emmett; Ward, Leanne M.; Aziz Khan, Aliya; Guyatt, Gordon; Medicine, School of MedicineObjective: We sought to examine the highest certainty evidence on managing X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) in children, aiming to inform treatment recommendations of XLH international guidelines. Data Sources: We searched Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central from inception to March 2023. We also reviewed reference lists of eligible studies and pertinent review articles. Study eligibility criteria: Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies enrolling individuals younger than 18 years old with XLH diagnosed on clinical grounds or with a confirmed pathogenic variant in PHEX. Articles were selected according to specific criteria evaluating the effectiveness of burosumab compared to either no treatment or conventional therapy (phosphate salts and active vitamin D) or evaluating conventional therapy compared to no treatment. Methods: Two reviewers independently determined eligibility, conducted data extraction, and assessed the risk of bias (RoB) in eligible articles. We employed the GRADE methodology to evaluate the certainty of the evidence. Results: After removing duplicates from 7,043 citations, we screened 4,114 records and assessed 254 full texts, of which in the systematic review (SR) addressing burosumab one RCT and one post-Hoc study proved eligible. Being open-label design, the RoB was high, with certainty of evidence on individual outcomes ranging from moderate to very low. Burosumab, compared to conventional therapy, probably prevents lower limb deformity, and improves physical health quality of life (QoL) (moderate certainty). It might also increase height and possibly improve the burden of symptoms related to chronic hypophosphatemia (low certainty). Conversely, burosumab probably increases Treatment-Emergent adverse events after the first administration (moderate certainty), and it may increase dental abscesses (low certainty). In the second SR, one observational study assessing conventional therapy versus no treatment was at high RoB providing very low certainty of evidence regarding the impact of conventional therapy compared to no treatment on final height. Conclusion: Our review indicates that burosumab likely offers benefits in preventing lower limb deformity and improving physical health QoL, while potentially increasing height and improving the burden of symptoms related to chronic hypophosphatemia (low certainty). However, it may also increase adverse events, including dental abscesses. Additionally, our review found limited evidence regarding the impact of conventional therapy compared to no treatment on final height in children. These findings highlight the need for further research to better understand the long-term impact of conventional therapy and burosumab in children.Item Approach to Hypophosphatemic Rickets(Oxford University Press, 2022) Aackah, Sarah A.; Imel, Erik A.; Medicine, School of MedicineHypophosphatemic rickets typically presents in infancy or early childhood with skeletal deformities and growth plate abnormalities. The most common causes are genetic (such as X-linked hypophosphatemia), and these typically will result in lifelong hypophosphatemia and osteomalacia. Knowledge of phosphate metabolism, including the effects of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) (an osteocyte produced hormone that downregulates renal phosphate reabsorption and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D (1,25(OH)2D) production), is critical to determining the underlying genetic or acquired causes of hypophosphatemia and to facilitate appropriate treatment. Serum phosphorus should be measured in any child or adult with musculoskeletal complaints suggesting rickets or osteomalacia. Clinical evaluation incudes thorough history, physical examination, laboratory investigations, genetic analysis (especially in the absence of a guiding family history), and imaging to establish etiology and to monitor severity and treatment course. The treatment depends on the underlying cause, but often includes active forms of vitamin D combined with phosphate salts, or anti-FGF23 antibody treatment (burosumab) for X-linked hypophosphatemia. The purpose of this article is to explore the approach to evaluating hypophosphatemic rickets and its treatment options.Item Burosumab for Pediatric X-Linked Hypophosphatemia(Springer, 2021-06) Imel, Erik A.; Medicine, School of MedicinePurpose of Review X-Linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is the most common genetic cause of rickets. This review describes advances in the management of XLH using burosumab which was FDA approved for treating children with XLH in 2018. Recent Findings Elevated FGF23 in XLH leads to systemic hypophosphatemia and several musculoskeletal manifestations, including rachitic bone deformities, impaired growth, dental abscesses, insufficiency fractures, osteoarthritis, and enthesopathy, with lifelong consequences for physical function and quality of life. Burosumab treatment has demonstrated clinical improvement of rickets and growth in children, including during a randomized controlled trial compared with conventional therapy. Burosumab also improved pseudofracture healing in adults. Summary Burosumab led to greater improvement in rickets and growth than conventional therapy. However, many questions remain regarding the impact of burosumab on several outcomes, including final height, nephrocalcinosis, dental disease, enthesopathy, and surgical interventions.Item Burosumab versus conventional therapy in children with X-linked hypophosphataemia: a randomised, active-controlled, open-label, phase 3 trial(Elsevier, 2019-06-15) Imel, Erik A.; Glorieux, Francis H.; Whyte, Michael P.; Munns, Craig F.; Ward, Leanne M.; Nilsson, Ola; Simmons, Jill H.; Padidela, Raja; Namba, Noriyuki; Cheong, Hae Il; Pitukcheewanont, Pisit; Sochett, Etienne; Högler, Wolfgang; Muroya, Koji; Tanaka, Hiroyuki; Gottesman, Gary S.; Biggin, Andrew; Perwad, Farzana; Mao, Meng; Chen, Chao-Yin; Skrinar, Alison; Martin, Javier San; Portale, Anthony A.; Medicine, School of MedicineBackground X-linked hypophosphatemia in children is characterized by elevated serum FGF23, hypophosphatemia, rickets, lower extremity bowing, and growth impairment. We compared the efficacy and safety of continuing conventional therapy, consisting of oral phosphate and active vitamin D, versus switching to burosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody against FGF23, in pediatric X-linked hypophosphatemia. Methods In this randomised, active-controlled, open-label, phase 3 trial at 16 clinical sites, we enrolled children with X-linked hypophosphataemia aged 1–12 years. Key eligibility criteria were a total Thacher rickets severity score of at least 2·0, fasting serum phosphorus lower than 0·97 mmol/L (3·0 mg/dL), confirmed PHEX (phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog, X-linked) mutation or variant of unknown significance in the patient or a family member with appropriate X-linked dominant inheritance, and receipt of conventional therapy for at least 6 consecutive months for children younger than 3 years or at least 12 consecutive months for children older than 3 years. Eligible patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either subcutaneous burosumab starting at 0·8 mg/kg every 2 weeks (burosumab group) or conventional therapy prescribed by investigators (conventional therapy group). Both interventions lasted 64 weeks. The primary endpoint was change in rickets severity at week 40, assessed by the Radiographic Global Impression of Change global score. All patients who received at least one dose of treatment were included in the primary and safety analyses. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02915705. Findings Recruitment took place between Aug 3, 2016, and May 8, 2017. Of 122 patients assessed, 61 were enrolled. Of these, 32 (18 girls, 14 boys) were randomly assigned to continue receiving conventional therapy and 29 (16 girls, 13 boys) to receive burosumab. For the primary endpoint at week 40, patients in the burosumab group had significantly greater improvement in Radiographic Global Impression of Change global score than did patients in the conventional therapy group (least squares mean +1·9 [SE 0·1] with burosumab vs +0·8 [0·1] with conventional therapy; difference 1·1, 95% CI 0·8–1·5; p<0·0001). Treatment-emergent adverse events considered possibly, probably, or definitely related to treatment by the investigator occurred more frequently with burosumab (17 [59%] of 29 patients in the burosumab group vs seven [22%] of 32 patients in the conventional therapy group). Three serious adverse events occurred in each group, all considered unrelated to treatment and resolved. Interpretation Significantly greater clinical improvements were shown in rickets severity, growth, and biochemistries among children with X-linked hypophosphataemia treated with burosumab compared with those continuing conventional therapy.

In this open-label extension period (weeks 64-88), 21 children continued burosumab Q2W at the previous dose or crossed over from conventional therapy to burosumab starting at 0.8 mg/kg Q2W with continued clinical radiographic assessments through week 88. Efficacy endpoints and safety observations were summarized descriptively for both groups (burosumab continuation, n = 6; crossover, n = 15). At week 88 compared with baseline, improvements in the following outcomes were observed in the burosumab continuation and crossover groups, respectively: mean (SD) RGI-C rickets total score (primary outcome), +2.11 (0.27) and +1.89 (0.35); mean (SD) RGI-C lower limb deformity score, +1.61 (0.91) and +0.73 (0.82); and mean (SD) height Z-score + 0.41 (0.50) and +0.08 (0.34). Phosphate metabolism normalized rapidly in the crossover group and persisted in the continuation group. Mean (SD) serum alkaline phosphatase decreased from 169% (43%) of the upper limit of normal (ULN) at baseline to 126% (51%) at week 88 in the continuation group and from 157% (33%) of the ULN at baseline to 111% (23%) at week 88 in the crossover group. During the extension period, treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) were reported in all 6 children in the burosumab continuation group and 14/15 children in the crossover group. The AE profiles in the randomized and extension periods were similar, with no new safety signals identified. Improvements from baseline in radiographic rickets continued in the extension period among children with XLH who remained on burosumab. Children who crossed over from conventional therapy to burosumab demonstrated a rapid improvement in phosphate metabolism and improved rickets healing over the ensuing 22 weeks.Item Burosumab vs Phosphate/Active Vitamin D in Pediatric X-Linked Hypophosphatemia: A Subgroup Analysis by Dose Level(The Endocrine Society, 2023) Imel, Erik A.; Glorieux, Francis H.; Whyte, Michael P.; Portale, Anthony A.; Munns, Craig F.; Nilsson, Ola; Simmons, Jill H.; Padidela, Raja; Namba, Noriyuki; Cheong, Hae Il; Pitukcheewanont, Pisit; Sochett, Etienne; Högler, Wolfgang; Muroya, Koji; Tanaka, Hiroyuki; Gottesman, Gary S.; Biggin, Andrew; Perwad, Farzana; Chen, Angel; Scott Roberts, Mary; Ward, Leanne M.; Medicine, School of MedicineContext: In an open-label, randomized, controlled, phase 3 trial in 61 children aged 1 to 12 years with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), burosumab improved rickets vs continuing conventional therapy with active vitamin D and phosphate. Objective: We conducted an analysis to determine whether skeletal responses differed when switching to burosumab vs continuing higher or lower doses of conventional therapy. Methods: Conventional therapy dose groups were defined as higher-dose phosphate [greater than 40 mg/kg] (HPi), lower-dose phosphate [40 mg/kg or less] (LPi), higher-dose alfacalcidol [greater than 60 ng/kg] or calcitriol [greater than 30 ng/kg] (HD), and lower-dose alfacalcidol [60 ng/kg or less] or calcitriol [30 ng/kg or less] (LD). Results: At week 64, the Radiographic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C) for rickets was higher (better) in children randomly assigned to burosumab vs conventional therapy for all prebaseline dose groups: HPi (+1.72 vs +0.67), LPi (+2.14 vs +1.08), HD (+1.90 vs +0.94), LD (+2.11 vs +1.06). At week 64, the RGI-C for rickets was also higher in children randomly assigned to burosumab (+2.06) vs conventional therapy for all on-study dose groups: HPi (+1.03), LPi (+1.05), HD (+1.45), LD (+0.72). Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) also decreased in the burosumab-treated patients more than in the conventional therapy group, regardless of on-study phosphate and active vitamin D doses. Conclusion: Prior phosphate or active vitamin D doses did not influence treatment response after switching to burosumab among children with XLH and active radiographic rickets. Switching from conventional therapy to burosumab improved rickets and serum ALP more than continuing either higher or lower doses of phosphate or active vitamin D.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 Effect of Burosumab Compared With Conventional Therapy on Younger vs Older Children With X-linked Hypophosphatemia(Endocrine Society, 2022) Ward, Leanne M.; Glorieux, Francis H.; Whyte, Michael P.; Munns, Craig F.; Portale, Anthony A.; Högler, Wolfgang; Simmons, Jill H.; Gottesman, Gary S.; Padidela, Raja; Namba, Noriyuki; Cheong, Hae Il; Nilsson, Ola; Mao, Meng; Chen, Angel; Skrinar, Alison; Scott Roberts, Mary; Imel, Erik A.; Medicine, School of MedicineContext: Younger age at treatment onset with conventional therapy (phosphate salts and active vitamin D; Pi/D) is associated with improved growth and skeletal outcomes in children with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). The effect of age on burosumab efficacy and safety in XLH is unknown. Objective: This work aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of burosumab vs Pi/D in younger (< 5 years) and older (5-12 years) children with XLH. Methods: This post hoc analysis of a 64-week, open-label, randomized controlled study took place at 16 academic centers. Sixty-one children aged 1 to 12 years with XLH (younger, n = 26; older, n = 35) participated. Children received burosumab starting at 0.8 mg/kg every 2 weeks (younger, n = 14; older, n = 15) or continued Pi/D individually titrated per recommended guidelines (younger, n = 12; older, n = 20). The main outcome measure included the least squares means difference (LSMD) in Radiographic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C) rickets total score from baseline to week 64. Results: The LSMD in outcomes through 64 weeks on burosumab vs conventional therapy by age group were as follows: RGI-C rickets total score (younger, +0.90; older, +1.07), total Rickets Severity Score (younger, -0.86; older, -1.44), RGI-C lower limb deformity score (younger, +1.02; older, +0.91), recumbent length or standing height Z-score (younger, +0.20; older, +0.09), and serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (younger, -31.15% of upper normal limit [ULN]; older, -52.11% of ULN). On burosumab, dental abscesses were not reported in younger children but were in 53% of older children. Conclusion: Burosumab appears to improve outcomes both in younger and older children with XLH, including rickets, lower limb deformities, growth, and ALP, compared with Pi/D.Item FGF23 and Associated Disorders of Phosphate Wasting(YS Medical Media, 2019-09-01) Gohil, Anisha; Imel, Erik A.; Pediatrics, School of MedicineFibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), one of the endocrine fibroblast growth factors, is a principal regulator in the maintenance of serum phosphorus concentration. Binding to its cofactor αKlotho and a fibroblast growth factor receptor is essential for its activity. Its regulation and interaction with other factors in the bone-parathyroid-kidney axis is complex. FGF23 reduces serum phosphorus concentration through decreased reabsorption of phosphorus in the kidney and by decreasing 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) concentrations. Various FGF23-mediated disorders of renal phosphate wasting share similar clinical and biochemical features. The most common of these is X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). Additional disorders of FGF23 excess include autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets, autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets, fibrous dysplasia, and tumor-induced osteomalacia. Treatment is challenging, requiring careful monitoring and titration of dosages to optimize effectiveness and to balance side effects. Conventional therapy for XLH and other disorders of FGF23-mediated hypophosphatemia involves multiple daily doses of oral phosphate salts and active vitamin D analogs, such as calcitriol or alfacalcidol. Additional treatments may be used to help address side effects of conventional therapy such as thiazides to address hypercalciuria or nephrocalcinosis, and calcimimetics to manage hyperparathyroidism. The recent development and approval of an anti-FGF23 antibody, burosumab, for use in XLH provides a novel treatment option.
