Osteoporosis & bone health

Phase 3 study comparing the efficacy and safety of proposed biosimilar RGB-14-P with denosumab in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis: results from the transition (switch) phase

Osteoporos IntPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Treatment responses to RGB-14-P or RD seen during the first 52 weeks of treatment further improved to week 78; transitioning from RD to RGB-14-P had no discernible impact on efficacy, PD, immunogenicity, or safety.

Study context

Population
Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who had received two 60-mg doses of RGB-14-P or RD (day 1 and week 26) in a randomised phase 3 study
Participants
188 women
Comparison
Continued RGB-14-P vs continued reference denosumab vs transition from RD to RGB-14-P
  • RGB-14-Pn = 63
  • RDn = 63reference
  • RD to RGB-14-Pn = 62

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Lumbar spine, hip and femoral neck BMD · up to week 78
  • Gains in bone mineral density (BMD) observed in the first 52 weeks further improved up to week 78 in all three groups, including patients who transitioned from RD to RGB-14-P

Further findings

New fragility fractures

Incidences comparable

Serum pharmacodynamics (PD) markers (serum C-telopeptide of type I collagen and procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide)

Changes from baseline maintained

Immunogenicity

Transition did not induce a discernible immunological reaction
