Burosumab Improves Patient-Reported Outcomes in Adults With Tumor-Induced Osteomalacia: Mixed-Methods Analysis

J Bone Miner ResPublished Exploratory mixed-methods analysis of a phase 2 trial

Authors' conclusion

Thus, this exploratory mixed-methods analysis provides deeper understanding of patients' perception of clinical meaningfulness beyond that articulated in validated patient-reported outcome instruments.

Study context

Population
Adults with tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO), phase 2 trial UX023T-CL2018 interviewed
Participants
14 adults
Comparison
Change from baseline after 144 weeks of burosumab
  • Burosumabn = 14
Methodological detailsexit interviews, single-arm
  • Exit interviews
  • Single-arm

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Patient-reported outcomes:
  • Pain
  • Fatigue
  • HRQL
· 144 weeks
  • Improvements in pain and fatigue after treatment, some achieving statistically and/or clinically meaningful thresholds
  • SF-36 v2 improvements most pronounced in Physical Component Score, Physical Function and Bodily Pain domains
  • Exploratory analysis

Further findings

Exit interviews (n = 8)

Compromised health-related quality of life (HRQL) and pain rated most important to treat; more bothersome than fatigue and compromised physical function and activities of daily living
Described symptomatic improvement and its clinical meaningfulness, incl. physical function, activities of daily living and mental well-being
