Non-invasive quantification of bone (re)modeling dynamics in adults with osteogenesis imperfecta treated with setrusumab using timelapse high-resolution peripheral-quantitative computed tomography

J Bone Miner ResPublished Methodological imaging study within the ASTEROID phase-2b randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

This study identifies a timelapse method that minimizes measurement error, which can be used in future studies to improve the uniformity of results. This non-invasive imaging biomarker revealed dose dependent bone (re)modeling outcomes from 1 year of setrusumab treatment in adults with OI.

Study context

Population
Adults with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) in the ASTEROID trial
Participants
78 adults29 same-day repeat scans
Comparison
Timelapse HR-pQCT methods; setrusumab vs zoledronic acid
Primary endpoint
Measurement error of timelapse HR-pQCT methods for quantifying bone formation and resorption
Methodological detailsmulticenter, same-day repeated scans, longitudinal
  • Multicenter
  • Same-day repeated scans

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Timelapse measurement error

Binary input images, any registration method: error, first- and second-generation scanners respectively

≈13% and ≈8%

Density threshold 200 mgHA/cm³ with Gaussian noise reduction, both scanner generations: error

<1%

Further findings

Bone formation and resorption on longitudinal scans · baseline, 6, 12, 18, and 24 mo

Setrusumab: dose-dependent increase in bone formation and resorption
Zoledronic acid altered bone changes in favor of formation; no changes statistically significant
