Title: Osteoporosis and Metabolic Bone Disease - Clinical Aspects and Pathogenesis: Osteoporosis: Treatment, Safety, and Long Term Outcomes

Session Type: Abstract Submissions (ACR)

Background/Purpose: Odanacatib (ODN), a selective oral inhibitor of cathepsin K, is in development for the treatment of osteoporosis. The Phase III Long-Term Odanacatib Fracture Trial (LOFT; NCT00529373) and its pre-planned blinded extension in which patients continue on their originally assigned treatment, evaluated the efficacy and safety of ODN in reducing the risk of fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Methods: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, event-driven study enrolled women ≥65 years of age with a BMD T-score ≤−2.5 at the total hip (TH) or femoral neck (FN) or with a radiographic vertebral fracture (VFx) and a T-score ≤−1.5 at the TH or FN. Participants were randomized to either ODN 50 mg once-weekly or placebo (1:1) and received weekly vitamin D3(5600IU) and daily calcium supplements to ensure a total daily calcium intake of ~1200 mg. Primary efficacy endpoints of the trial were new morphometric vertebral, clinical hip, and clinical non-vertebral fractures. Secondary endpoints included safety and tolerability, clinical VFx, spine and hip BMD, and bone turnover markers.

Results: A total of 16,713 participants were randomized at 387 centers in 40 countries, with 16,071 included in the analyses, and 642 excluded from all analyses due to study site closure (n=483), duplicate randomization (n=3), or failure to take any study drug (n=156). At baseline, mean (SD) age was 72.8 (5.3) years, 57% were Caucasian, 46.5% had a VFx prior to study entry, and mean BMD T-scores were: lumbar spine -2.7, TH -2.4, and FN -2.7. A total of 237 patients with hip fracture were estimated to provide statistical power. A prespecified interim analysis was performed when ~70% of targeted events had accrued. An external Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) reviewed these data and recommended that the base study be closed early due to robust efficacy and a favorable benefit/risk profile. The DMC noted that safety issues remained in certain selected areas. Both safety and efficacy continue to be monitored in the ongoing blinded extension trial. Data from an average follow-up of 40.8 months have been accrued from the base and extension studies, with 7,081 patients completing at least 4 years of follow-up. At the time this abstract was written, final data analyses were not complete.

Conclusion: The blinded, placebo-controlled base and extension study periods of LOFT will provide data on the efficacy of ODN on fractures and BMD and general safety. A separate presentation will discuss in depth the safety profile for ODN from this trial.
