Osteoporosis, bone & mineral

Real-world efficacy of a teriparatide biosimilar (RGB-10) compared with reference teriparatide on bone mineral density, trabecular bone score, and bone parameters assessed using quantitative ultrasound, 3D-SHAPER® and high-resolution peripheral computer tomography in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and very high fracture risk

Osteoporos IntPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

The results of the analysis demonstrate the therapeutic equivalence of the teriparatide biosimilar (RGB-10) to reference teriparatide for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at very high risk of fracture.

Study context

Population
Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at very high fracture riskmatched cohort
Participants
25 vs 25
Exposure
Teriparatide biosimilar vs reference teriparatide
  • RGB-10n = 25
  • Reference teriparatiden = 25reference
Outcome
BMD (lumbar spine, femoral neck, total hip by DXA; 3D-SHAPER), trabecular bone score (TBS), quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRpQCT) of radius and tibia
Follow-up
Baseline, 12 and 24 months
Methodological detailsmatched cohort
  • Matched cohort

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

BMD and bone health parameters · 12 and 24 months
  • No significant differences between treatment groups in any measured bone mineral density (BMD) or bone health parameter at baseline or any timepoint
  • Both compounds provided equivalent significant improvements from baseline in measures of osteoporosis and fracture risk
  • Matched cohort

Observational data: associations, not effects.
