ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-34) (rhPTH[1-34]) teriparatide is the first anabolic agent approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of osteoporosis in men and women. This study was conducted to provide support for marketing authorization of an agent biosimilar to teriparatide in China.OBJECTIVE:
The main aim of the present study was to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic parameters of rhPTH(1-34) after single and multiple subcutaneous doses in healthy Chinese subjects.METHODS:
Two open-label, randomized, single-center, dose-escalation studies were performed. In study 1, subjects were randomized to receive a single dose of rhPTH(1-34) (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 µg) or a multiple dose of rhPTH(1-34) (10 and 20 µg once daily for 7 consecutive days) to determine the safety profile and tolerability, as reflected by the incidence, intensity, and seriousness of the observed adverse events. In study 2, a single dose of rhPTH(1-34) (10, 20, or 40 µg) and a multiple dose of rhPTH(1-34) (20 µg) were administrated subcutaneously to investigate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters.RESULTS:
Forty-two subjects completed study 1, and 30 subjects completed study 2. rhPTH(1-34) was well tolerated during the investigated single (10-60 µg) and multiple (10-20 µg once daily for 7 consecutive days) dose ranges. The most generally reported adverse events were erythema at the injection site and gastrointestinal reactions. After single and multiple subcutaneous administration of rhPTH(1-34), the drug was rapidly absorbed, with a Tmax of 20 to 30 minutes, and rapidly cleared from the plasma, with a t½ of 47.2 to 60.6 minutes. The mean Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞ increased in proportion to the doses, whereas the t½, total clearance, and Tmax values were independent of the administered dose. No significant differences in pharmacokinetic parameters were noted by sex except for Tmax in the 10-µg and 20-µg single-dose groups. Compared with the baseline levels, no significant changes or dose-related significant effects were observed in serum calcium and phosphate levels.CONCLUSIONS:
All rhPTH(1-34) doses appeared to be well tolerated in the population studied. Linear pharmacokinetic characteristics were displayed in the dose range studied. Chinese ClinicalTrials.gov identifier ChiCTR-ONC-12002874.Palabras clave
