Osteoporosis, bone & mineral

Comparison of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and immunogenicity of teriparatide biosimilar with EU- and US-approved teriparatide reference products in healthy men and postmenopausal women

Osteoporos IntPublished Randomised crossover pharmacokinetic bioequivalence study

Authors' conclusion

The study demonstrated PK bioequivalence of teriparatide biosimilar to the EU- and US-teriparatide reference products with comparable PD, safety, and immunogenicity profiles.

Study context

Population
Healthy men and postmenopausal womenrandomized 1:1:1
Participants
105 men
Comparison
Teriparatide biosimilar vs EU- and US-approved teriparatide
Primary endpoint
PK parameters Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ (non-compartmental); bioequivalence if 90% CI of geometric mean ratio within 80.00%–125.00%
Methodological detailsassessor-blind, three-period, single-dose
  • Assessor-blind
  • Three-period
  • Single-dose

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

PK bioequivalence (Cmax, AUC0-t, AUC0-∞)
  • 90% CIs of geometric mean ratios (test:reference) of Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ within 80.00%–125.00%: Pharmacokinetic (PK) equivalence of INTG-8 to EU- and US-teriparatide for all primary endpoints

Secondary outcomes

Pharmacodynamics (PD): total serum calcium (Emax, AUE0-t, Tmax)

PD comparability demonstrated by similar serum calcium levels

Safety

Safety, tolerability and immunogenicity

Deaths
0
Serious AEs
0
Generally well tolerated; no meaningful differences in safety or immunogenicity profiles
