Osteoporosis, bone & mineral

A randomized Phase 1b trial evaluating the pharmacodynamics of ilofotase alfa in adults with hypophosphatasia

J Bone Miner ResPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

These data demonstrate that single-dose ilofotase alfa enhances AP activity and results in dose-dependent reductions in primary disease-specific biomarkers without undesired effects on mineral homeostasis.

Study context

Population
Adults with hypophosphatasia; at baseline all had reduced alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity and elevated pyridoxal-5'-phosphateall completed
Participants
12 adults
Comparison
Ilofotase alfa 0.8 mg/kg vs 3.2 mg/kg IV
Primary endpoint
Changes in plasma levels of AP substrates inorganic pyrophosphate and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate
Methodological detailsPhase 1b, single-center, open-label, randomized 1:1, single dose
  • Phase 1b
  • Single-center
  • Open-label
  • Randomized 1:1
  • Single dose

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

10-d follow-up
  • Greatest reduction in inorganic pyrophosphate and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate 2 h after start of dosing in both groups
  • Inorganic pyrophosphate returned to baseline more rapidly with 0.8 mg/kg vs 3.2 mg/kg

Further findings

Circulating AP activity

Mean AP activity peaked 24 h after dosing, then declined but remained above the lower limit of normal throughout

Ilofotase alfa pharmacokinetics

Dose-proportional increase in ilofotase alfa, peak concentration 1-h post-infusion

Safety

Treatment-emergent adverse events, all mild
