Bone matrix properties in adults with osteogenesis imperfecta are not adversely affected by setrusumab—a sclerostin neutralizing antibody

J Bone Miner ResPublished Mechanistic study

Authors' conclusion

We conclude that SclAb treatment leads to increased bone mass while not adversely affecting bone matrix properties in individuals with OI.

Study context

Population
Adults with type I, III and IV osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and controls without metabolic bone disease
Comparison
Setrusumab-treated OI vs untreated OI vs controls
Outcome
Bone matrix material properties
Follow-up
6 mo of setrusumab
Methodological detailstetracycline-labeled trans iliac biopsies, substudy of the Phase 2b ASTEROID trial
  • Tetracycline-labeled trans iliac biopsies
  • Substudy of the Phase 2b ASTEROID trial

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • No difference in collagen orientation between the groups
  • OI groups had greater mean mineralization, greater relative mineral content and lower crystallinity than control, not altered by SclAb treatment
  • Lower modulus and hardness in inter-label bone of OI-SclAb vs OI
