RESUMO
We assessed multiple components of muscle function in ten adults with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) receiving burosumab treatment. Lower limb power (+ 9%), short physical performance battery (SPPB) score (+ 1.2 points), and physical activity (+ 65%) increased following 6 months of treatment, and hand grip increased (+ 10%) between 6 and 12 months of treatment. PURPOSE: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare genetic disorder of phosphate metabolism. Burosumab is a monoclonal antibody treatment shown to improve phosphate homeostasis and improve symptoms as well as fracture healing when used as a therapy for XLH in adults. However, little is known about its effects on the large deficits in multiple components of physical function previously reported in XLH. METHODS: Ten adults (6 females, age 41.1 ± 15.7 y) were recruited from specialist centres in London and Bristol. During clinical visits for initial burosumab treatment and at 6-month and 12-month follow-up, physical function, and physical activity (PA) assessments were performed. In detail, lower limb power was assessed by mechanography via a countermovement jump, mobility by short physical performance battery (SPPB), functional capacity by 6-min walk test (6MWT), upper limb strength by hand grip dynamometry, and PA via an International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Differences between baseline and 6-month follow-up, and in a subset of 5 patients between 6- and 12-month follow-up, were assessed. RESULTS: Lower limb power increased by 9% (P = 0.049) from baseline to 6 months, as did SPPB score (+ 1.2 points, P = 0.033) and total PA (+ 65%, P = 0.046) although hand grip and 6MWT did not differ. Only for hand grip was a significant improvement (+ 10%, P = 0.023) seen between 6 and 12 months. CONCLUSIONS: Burosumab treatment is associated with improved lower limb function and mobility at 6 months, with improvement in hand grip strength at 12 months. Future studies should explore the underlying mechanisms and describe on function and other patient outcomes.
RESUMO
X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) is a genetic cause of renal hypophosphatemia due to inactivation of the PHEX gene, with an inappropriate concentration of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Burosumab, an anti-FGF23 monoclonal antibody, is a validated treatment for XLH, but its use in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been validated. A 61-year-old man with XLH developed CKD during follow-up. Conventional treatment (phosphate salts and active vitamin D analogs) was poorly tolerated. Treatment with burosumab was decided at a multi-professional meeting. Before burosumab initiation, his measured glomerular filtration rate was 44 mL/min/1.73 m2 defining CKD stage 3b and intact FGF23 concentration was very high (4496.0 ng/mL, N: 22.7-93.1) due to both XLH and CKD. Severe hypophosphatemia was observed after the two first injections of burosumab at usual doses (1 mg/kg monthly) and concomitant discontinuation of the conventional treatment. After increasing the dose and reducing the interval between doses (1.3 mg/kg every three weeks) from the third injection, serum phosphate concentration normalized and remained around the lower limit of the normal range. A local cutaneous reaction was observed just after the second injection, but did not recur. We report for the first time the efficacy and good short-term tolerance of burosumab in a patient with XLH and CKD, subject to a higher dosage aimed at achieving a phosphatemia at the lower limit of the normal range.

To assess the efficacy and safety of burosumab in children and adults with X-linked hypophosphatemia based on real-world evidence. MEDLINE (via PubMed) and Cochrane Library were searched until 18 October 2023 for single-arm (before-after) studies. Registries including Clinicaltrials.gov, EU Clinical Trials, WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and conference abstracts. The outcomes were a change in serum phosphorus concentrations and change in RSS, a change in serum ALP, bone-specific ALP, a change in the ratio of Tubular maximum reabsorption of Phosphate to Glomerular Filtrate rate, a change in serum 1,25(OH)2D and 25(OH)2D concentrations, change in height Z-score, McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and safety outcomes. An inverse variance random-effects meta-analysis was applied for data synthesis. Fifteen studies (289 participants) were included. Burosumab treatment improved serum phosphate concentrations [mean difference 0.88 mg/dl, 95% confidence interval 0.70 to 1.07, I2 = 92%), Rickets Severity score (mean difference - 1.86, 95% confidence interval - 2.5 to - 1.21, I2 = 71%), serum alkaline phosphate concentrations (mean difference - 1.86, 95% confidence interval - 2.5 to - 1.21, I2 = 71%), serum 1,25(OH)2D concentrations (mean difference 18.91 pg/ml, 95% confidence interval 6.39 to 31.43, I2 = 96%) and renal phosphate reabsorption (mean difference 1.22 mg/dl, 95% confidence interval 0.70 to 1.74, I2 93%). Burosumab treatment improved overall clinical and laboratory findings in patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia.

Phosphate is essential for numerous biological processes, and serum levels are tightly regulated to accomplish these functions. The regulation of serum phosphate in a narrow physiological range is a well-orchestrated process and involves the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bone, kidneys, and several hormones, namely, parathyroid hormone, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25 Vitamin D). Although primarily synthesized in the bone, FGF23, an endocrine FGF, acts on the kidney to regulate phosphate and Vitamin D homeostasis by causing phosphaturia and reduced levels of 1,25 Vitamin D. Recent studies have highlighted the complex regulation of FGF23 including transcriptional and post-translational modification and kidney-bone cross talk. Understanding FGF23 biology has led to the identification of novel therapeutic agents to treat diseases that disrupt phosphate metabolism secondary to FGF23. The focus of this review is to provide an overview of phosphate homeostasis, FGF23 biology, and the role of FGF23 in phosphate balance.
RESUMO
As we continue to understand more about the complex mechanism of growth, a plethora of novel therapies have recently been developed that aim to address barriers and optimize efficacy. This review aims to explore these novel therapies and provide a succinct review based on the latest clinical studies in order to introduce clinicians to therapies that will soon constitute the future in the field of short stature. Conclusion: The review focuses on long-acting growth hormone formulations, a novel growth hormone oral secretagogue, novel treatments for children with achondroplasia, and targeted therapies for rare forms of skeletal dysplasias. What is Known: ⢠Recombinant human growth hormone has been the mainstay of treatment for children with short stature for years. ⢠Such therapy is not always effective based on the underlying diagnosis (e.g achondroplasia, Turner syndrome). Compliance with daily injections is challenging and can directly affect efficacy. What is New: ⢠Recent development of long-acting growth hormone regimens and oral secretagogues can overcome some of these barriers, however several limitations need to be taken into consideration. ⢠Newer therapies for achondroplasia, and other rare forms of skeletal dysplasias introduce us to a new era of targeted therapies for children with short stature. Clinicians ought to be aware of pitfalls and caveats before introducing these novel therapies to every day practice.

This article reviews the role of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) protein in phosphate metabolism, highlighting its regulation of vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and bone metabolism. Although it was traditionally thought that phosphate-calcium homeostasis was controlled exclusively by parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitriol, pathophysiological studies revealed the influence of FGF23. This protein, expressed mainly in bone, inhibits the renal reabsorption of phosphate and calcitriol formation, mediated by the α-klotho co-receptor. In addition to its role in phosphate metabolism, FGF23 exhibits pleiotropic effects in non-renal systems such as the cardiovascular, immune, and metabolic systems, including the regulation of gene expression and cardiac fibrosis. Although it has been proposed as a biomarker and therapeutic target, the inhibition of FGF23 poses challenges due to its potential side effects. However, the approval of drugs such as burosumab represents a milestone in the treatment of FGF23-related diseases.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of CRYSVITA® (burosumab-twza) on FGF23 measurements in an intact and a C-terminal immunoassay. METHODS: An intact serum FGF23 (MedFrontier) and a C-terminal plasma FGF23 assay (Immutopics) were used. Serum/plasma pools were spiked to span the burosumab therapeutic range (1.4-11.3 µg/ml) and FGF23 recovery was assessed. Patient serum and plasma samples obtained pre and post-burosumab treatment were evaluated on both assays and compared with corresponding phosphorus measurements RESULTS: Spiking burosumab (1.4-11.3 µg/ml) into sample pools resulted in a dose-dependent negative analytical interference on intact FGF23 measurements and no significant interference for C-terminal FGF23 measurements. However, more than a 500-fold median increase (post- vs. pre-burosumab administration) in in vivo FGF23 concentrations were observed by both assays. CONCLUSIONS: Therapeutic concentrations of burosumab result in a negative analytical interference of the intact, but not the C-terminal FGF23 immunoassay. Despite this in vitro analytical interference in the intact assay, relatively large elevations of both intact FGF23 and C-terminal FGF23 measurements were observed in vivo following burosumab administration. Following burosumab administration, FGF23 measurements must be interpreted within the clinical context of the patient and other relevant biomarker results. SUMMARY: This article describes a negative analytical interference by burosumab in an intact FGF23 immunoassay. The recovery of C-terminal FGF23 is not significantly affected by the presence of burosumab. In vivo, both assays demonstrate extreme FGF23 elevations in the presence of the drug. Furthermore, the measurement of FGF23 blocked by burosumab is not clinically useful regarding hypophosphataemia.

Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome caused by tumoral overproduction of FGF-23. Due to local recurrence, we describe the long-term efficacy and safety profile of burosumab, an anti-FGF-23 monoclonal antibody, in a TIO patient after three unsuccessfully surgical attempts. INTRODUCTION: TIO is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome caused by tumoral overproduction of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), resulting in hyperphospaturia, hypophosphatemia, and osteomalacia. Surgery is the only definitive treatment, but tumor can locally recur, even after years from primary surgery. Furthermore, some tumors cannot be removed by surgery due to their location. METHODS: We describe the case of a 54-year-old woman affected by recurrent TIO who, after three unsuccessful surgical attempts of tumor removal, was treated with burosumab, an anti-FGF-23 monoclonal antibody. RESULTS: The patient was referred to our Bone Unit after experiencing several fractures in different sites, both traumatic and non-traumatic. At the time of first evaluation, at the age of 46, serum-phosphate (SP) was 1.2 mg/dL (reference range (RR) 2.5-4.5), 24-h urinary phosphate was 842 mg (RR 400-1000), and intact-FGF-23 was 117 pg/mL (RR 25-45). Imaging showed a metabolic pre-sacral lesion that firstly underwent to exploratory laparotomy. Then, patient underwent to surgical excision of tumor. After 18 months of well-being, tumor relapsed and even the subsequent surgery was not able to completely remove it. Since 2015, patient was maintained in phosphorus supplements and 1,25(OH)2vitamin D3, but SP levels never normalized. In September 2019, she was started on burosumab, initially at the dose of 0.3 mg/kg/month, progressively increased to the current 0.8 mg/kg/month, with great improvement of pain, physical performance, and normalization of SP levels. Burosumab was temporary and cautionary discontinued for COVID-19 pneumonia, with a worsening of SP. After restart of burosumab, biochemistry returned to normal. CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first European patient affected by TIO treated with burosumab for more than 2 years. Burosumab is a promising therapy in the medical treatment of TIO refractory or not eligible for definitive surgery, with good efficacy and safety profile.

BACKGROUND: The severity of X-linked hypophosphataemic rickets (XLH) may be affected by genotype and sex. However, burosumab, a fully humanized monoclonal antibody against fibroblast growth factor 23, has the same pediatric dose recommendation for both sexes (0.8 mg/kg every 2 weeks). PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a retrospective cohort study, we describe the burosumab response differences by sex in children with XLH. RESULTS: We treated 10 children (5 females, mean age at initiation 4.2 ± 3.5 years) with XLH with burosumab. Initial mean serum phosphate was 0.69 ± 0.18 mmol/L in males and 0.86 ± 0.22 mmol/L in females (p = 0.108). The mean ratio of tubular maximum reabsorption rate of phosphate to glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR) was 0.55 ± 0.11 mmol/L in males and 0.76 ± 0.23 mmol/L in females (p = 0.06). The mean starting dose of burosumab was 0.83 ± 0.19 mg/kg subcutaneously every 14 days (males: 0.79 ± 0.19 mg/kg; females: 0.87 ± 0.21 mg/kg, n.s.). Two weeks after starting burosumab, serum phosphate differed significantly between males (0.90 ± 0.21 mmol/L) and females (1.27 ± 0.25 mmol/L) (p = 0.018). All males required a dose increase to try to normalize serum phosphate. On day 140 after starting, the average dose in males increased further to 1.24 ± 0.41 mg/kg to achieve a phosphate of 0.87 ± 0.11 mmol/L while females had a normal phosphate and alkaline phosphatase on the starting dose. After a mean of 458 ± 79 days, the mean burosumab dose/kg in males was 1.68 ± 0.61 mg/kg, mean serum phosphate was 1.08 ± 0.23 mmol/L, mean TmP/GFR was 1.01 ± 0.20, mean alkaline phosphatase had normalized to 303.6 ± 40.7U/L, and mean 1.25(OH)2 vitamin D level was 186.4 ± 16.6 nmol/L. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings may suggest a sex difference in response to burosumab in XLH patients. Our data suggest that males may require higher doses.

BACKGROUND: The underlying mechanisms of obesity in X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) are not known. We aimed to evaluate whether FGF21, an endocrine FGF involved in the regulation of carbohydrate-lipid metabolism, could be involved. METHODS: We performed a prospective multicenter cross-sectional study comparing FGF23, Klotho, and FGF21 levels in teenagers with XLH compared to healthy controls (VITADOS cohort) after matching for age, gender, and puberty. Non-parametric tests were performed (results presented as median (min-max)). RESULTS: A total of 40 XLH teenagers (n = 20 Standard Of Care, SOC, n = 20 burosumab) were included. While patients receiving burosumab displayed increased BMI as compared to patients receiving SOC, systolic blood pressure expressed as percentile was progressively and significantly lower when comparing the three groups: 77 (4-99) in SOC, 47 (9-98) in burosumab, and 28 (1-94) in controls (p = 0.007). When compared to patients receiving SOC, patients receiving burosumab displayed significantly increased phosphate and 1,25(OH)2D levels. We found increased Klotho levels in patients receiving burosumab. No differences were found for either carbohydrate-lipid biomarkers or FGF21 between the three groups. A total of 21 XLH patients (53%) had insulin resistance (HOMA > 2.4, N = 10 SOC, N = 11 burosumab). CONCLUSION: FGF21 does not explain obesity/overweight in XLH. Of note, this study was performed in France in 2018-2019, early after the approval authorizing burosumab only in case of severe XLH despite SOC. As such, the data on systolic blood pressure highlighting a possible impact of burosumab to decrease blood pressure as well as increase Klotho levels deserve further studies given their potential effect on long-term cardiovascular risk. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

To assess the long-term efficacy of burosumab for pediatric patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia, focusing on linear growth. This multi-center retrospective study included 35 pediatric patients who began treatment with burosumab between January 2018 and January 2021. We collected clinical data, anthropometric measurements, laboratory results, and Rickets Severity Score (RSS), from 2 years prior to treatment initiation and up to 4 years after. Burosumab was initiated at a mean age of 7.5 ± 4.4 years (range 0.6-15.9), with a mean initial dose of 0.8 ± 0.3 mg/kg, which was subsequently increased to 1.1 ± 0.4 mg/kg. The patients were followed for 2.9 ± 1.4 years (range 1-4) after initiating burosumab. Serum phosphorus levels increased from 2.7 ± 0.8 mg/dl at burosumab initiation to 3.4 ± 0.6 mg/dl after 3 months and remained stable (p < 0.001). Total reabsorption of phosphorus increased from 82.0 ± 6.8 to 90.1 ± 5.3% after 12 months of treatment (p = 0.041). The RSS improved from 1.7 ± 1.0 at burosumab initiation to 0.5 ± 0.6 and 0.3 ± 0.6 after 12 and 24 months, respectively (p < 0.001). Both height z-score and weight z-score improved from burosumab initiation to the end of the study: from - 2.07 ± 1.05 to - 1.72 ± 1.04 (p < 0.001) and from - 0.51 ± 1.12 to - 0.11 ± 1.29 (p < 0.001), respectively. Eight children received growth hormone combined with burosumab treatment. Height z-score improved among those who received growth hormone (from - 2.33 ± 1.12 to - 1.94 ± 1.24, p = 0.042) and among those who did not (from - 2.01 ± 1.01 to - 1.66 ± 1.01, p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Burosumab treatment in a real-life setting improved phosphate homeostasis and rickets severity and enhanced linear growth. WHAT IS KNOWN: ⢠Compared to conventional therapy, burosumab treatment has been shown to increase serum phosphate levels and reduce the severity of rickets. ⢠The effect of burosumab on growth is still being study. WHAT IS NEW: ⢠Height z-score improved between the start of burosumab treatment and the end of the study (-2.07 ± 1.05 vs. -1.72 ± 1.04, p < 0.001). ⢠Eight children received burosumab combined with growth hormone treatment without side effects during the concomitant treatments.

Acquired fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23-related hypophosphatemic osteomalacia is characterized clinically by muscle weakness, bone pain, and fractures. Its biochemical features include hypophosphatemia, caused by renal phosphate wasting, and inappropriately normal or low 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D levels. Recently, burosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting FGF23, was approved for the treatment of FGF23-related hypophosphatemic rickets and osteomalacia. We report the case of a 75-year-old Japanese woman with decompensated liver cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy, caused by primary biliary cholangitis, who complained of back pain and limited mobility resulting from multiple vertebral fractures. She was not receiving iron infusion therapy and denied alcohol consumption. The patient exhibited hypophosphatemia with a low tubular maximum reabsorption of phosphate per unit glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR) and a high circulating concentration of FGF23. Conventional therapy with alfacalcidol and oral phosphate slightly improved her serum phosphate concentration and back pain, but she experienced a hip fracture, causing her to become wheelchair-dependent. Burosumab was initiated 8 weeks after the hip fracture, which increased her serum phosphate concentration and TmP/GFR. Her mobility gradually improved, such that she could walk without a cane after 16 weeks of treatment. Her lumbar bone mineral density increased after 48 weeks. Hepatic encephalopathy developed once before the initiation of treatment and twice after the initiation of the therapy, but her liver function was preserved. This is the first study to report the efficacy and safety of burosumab treatment for FGF23-related hypophosphatemic osteomalacia with decompensated liver cirrhosis.

The anti-fibroblast growth factor 23 monoclonal antibody burosumab corrects hypophosphatemia in adults with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) and improves pain, stiffness, physical function, and fatigue. This post hoc subgroup analysis used data from the 24-week placebo-controlled period of a phase 3 study in 134 adults with XLH (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02526160), to assess whether the benefits of burosumab are evident in 14 clinically relevant subgroups defined by baseline demographic and functional criteria, including sex, Brief Pain Inventory-short form (BPI-SF) Average And Worst Pain, region, race, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC®) Stiffness, Physical Function and Pain domains and total score, use of opioid/other pain medication, active fractures/pseudo-fractures, and 6-min walk test distance. There were no statistically significant interactions between any of the subgroups and treatment arm for any endpoint. Higher proportions of subjects achieved mean serum phosphate concentration above the lower limit of normal (the primary endpoint) with burosumab than with placebo in all subgroups. For the key secondary endpoints (WOMAC Stiffness and Physical Function; BPI-SF Worst Pain) individual subgroup categories showed improvements with burosumab relative to placebo. For additional efficacy endpoints, burosumab was favored in some subgroups but differences were not significant and confidence intervals were wide. For some endpoints the treatment effect is small at 24 weeks in all subjects. This subgroup analysis shows that burosumab was largely superior to placebo across endpoints in the 14 clinically relevant subgroup variables at 24 weeks and is likely to benefit all symptomatic adults with active XLH.

BACKGROUND: X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) is the most common cause of inherited rickets. Historically, XLH was treated with oral phosphate and calcitriol (conventional treatment). Burosumab, a fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) monoclonal antibody, was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2018 for XLH treatment. Nevertheless, conventional treatment of XLH continues to be recommended by some specialists due to lack of published experience with burosumab in the clinical setting. We compared laboratory and radiographic changes observed following transition from conventional therapy to burosumab in pediatric XLH patients as part of routine care. METHODS: This retrospective single-center study identified and retroactively studied twelve patients aged 1-18 years old with XLH previously treated with conventional therapy and transitioned to burosumab. Laboratory studies and radiographs were obtained routinely as standard of care during two treatment periods: (1) conventional therapy and (2) burosumab treatment. Laboratory values and radiologic rickets severity scores were compared between periods. RESULTS: All laboratory values demonstrated improvement following 1 month of burosumab treatment, findings which were sustained over the 2-year study period. Rickets severity scores and height z-scores also improved with burosumab. There were no serious adverse events with burosumab, and adverse events overall were very infrequent and mild. One patient developed an asymptomatic mild elevation of serum phosphate while taking burosumab resulting in a temporary pause in therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Safety and effectiveness of burosumab in treatment of XLH were demonstrated as burosumab yielded statistically significant improvement in laboratory and radiographic markers of rickets and height compared to conventional therapy. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Here, we discuss the management of different forms of rickets, including new therapeutic approaches based on recent guidelines. Management includes close monitoring of growth, the degree of leg bowing, bone pain, serum phosphate, calcium, alkaline phosphatase as a surrogate marker of osteoblast activity and thus degree of rickets, parathyroid hormone, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, and calciuria. An adequate calcium intake and normal 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels should be assured in all patients. Children with calcipenic rickets require the supplementation or pharmacological treatment with native or active vitamin D depending on the underlying pathophysiology. Treatment of phosphopenic rickets depends on the underlying pathophysiology. Fibroblast-growth factor 23 (FGF23)-associated hypophosphatemic rickets was historically treated with frequent doses of oral phosphate salts in combination with active vitamin D, whereas tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) should primarily undergo tumor resection, if possible. Burosumab, a fully humanized FGF23-antibody, was recently approved for treatment of X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) and TIO and shown to be superior for treatment of XLH compared to conventional treatment. Forms of hypophosphatemic rickets independent of FGF23 due to genetic defects of renal tubular phosphate reabsorption are treated with oral phosphate only, since they are associated with excessive 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D production. Finally, forms of hypophosphatemic rickets caused by Fanconi syndrome, such as nephropathic cystinosis and Dent disease require disease-specific treatment in addition to phosphate supplements and active vitamin D. Adjustment of medication should be done with consideration of treatment-associated side effects, including diarrhea, gastrointestinal discomfort, hypercalciuria, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and development of nephrocalcinosis or nephrolithiasis.

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.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02915705.

PURPOSE 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. 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.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: X-linked hypophosphatemia and tumor-induced osteomalacia are diseases characterized by hypophosphatemia with impaired proximal tubular phosphate reabsorption. Complete resection of responsible tumors is the first-line therapy for patients with tumor-induced osteomalacia. In contrast, phosphate and active vitamin D have been used for patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia and inoperable ones with tumor-induced osteomalacia. The purpose of this review is to summarize the pathogenesis of these diseases and discuss about the new treatment. RECENT FINDINGS: Excessive FGF23 production has been shown to underline several kinds of hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia including X-linked hypophosphatemia and tumor-induced osteomalacia. Burosumab, an anti-FGF23 monoclonal antibody, was approved for clinical use, while the indications of burosumab are different depending on countries. The inhibition of excessive FGF23 activity has been approved as a new therapy for several kinds of hypophosphatemic diseases. Further studies are necessary to clarify the long-term effects and safety of burosumab.

In recent years, new treatment options for both common and rare bone diseases have become available. The sclerostin antibody romosozumab is the most recently approved drug for the therapy of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Its anabolic capacity makes it a promising treatment option for severe osteoporosis. Other sclerostin antibodies for the treatment of rare bone diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta are currently being investigated. For rare bone diseases such as Xlinked hypophosphatemia (XLH) and hypophosphatasia (HPP), specific therapies are now also available, showing promising data in children and adults with a severe disease course. However, long-term data are needed to assess a sustained benefit for patients.

Xlinked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH, OMIM #307800) is a rare genetic metabolic disorder caused by dysregulation of fibroblast-like growth factor 23 (FGF23) leading to profound reduction in renal phosphate reabsorption. Impaired growth, severe rickets and complex skeletal deformities are direct consequences of hypophosphatemia representing major symptoms of XLH during childhood. In adults, secondary complications including early development of osteoarthritis substantially impair quality of life and cause significant clinical burden. With the global approval of the monoclonal FGF23 antibody burosumab, a targeted treatment with promising results in phase III studies is available for children with XLH. Nevertheless, complete phenotypic rescue is rarely achieved and remaining multisystemic symptoms demand multidisciplinary specialist care. Coordination of patient management within the major medical disciplines is a mainstay to optimize treatment and reduce disease burden. This review aims to depict different perspectives in XLH patient care in the setting of a multidisciplinary centre of expertise for rare bone diseases.
