Eighteen months of teriparatide treatment leads to improvement of bone mineral density and trabecular bone score in patients with glucocorticoids induced osteoporosis: the results from prospective follow-up (registry OSTEO.sk)
18-mesačná liečba teriparatidom zlepšuje u pacientov s glukokortikoidmi indukovanou osteoporózou hodnoty hustoty kostného minerálu a trabekulárne kostné skóre: výsledky prospektívneho sledovania (register OSTEO.sk)
Úvod:
Liečba glukokortikoidmi má za následok rýchlu stratu denzity kostného minerálu (BMD) a glukokortikoidmi indukovaná osteoporóza (GIOP) je najčastejšou a závažnou formou sekundárnej osteoporózy. Liečba žien s postmenopauzálnou osteoporózou teriparatidom (TPTD) významne zvyšuje trabekulárny kostný objem a konektivitu, zlepšuje trabekulárnu morfológiu s posunom smerom k viac doštičkovitej štruktúre a zvyšuje hrúbku kortikálnej kosti.
Ciel štúdie:
Posúdení zmeny BMD a trabekulárneho kostného skóre (TBS) po 12- a 18-mesačnej liečbe TPTD u pacientov s GIOP.
Pacienti a metódy:
Prospektívne multicentrické, nekontrolované sledovanie účinnosti a bezpečnosti liečby TPTD u pacientov s GIOP, uskutočňované v 5 špecializovaných centrách ustanovených pre liečbu TPTD. U všetkých pacientov zaradených do registru OSTEO.sk bolo pravidelne uskutočňované meranie BMD v bedrovej chrbtici a proximálnom femoru a sledovanie markerov kostného obratu. V podskupine účastníkov bolo merané TBS.
Výsledky:
Z celkového počtu 263 pacientov zaradených do registra bolo do záverečnej analýzy zahrnutých 129 pacientov (20 mužov vo veku 51,5 let/109 žien vo veku 59,7 let). Po liečbe TPTD bol zistený v porovnaní s východiskovými hodnotami nárast BMD v bedrovej chrbtici v 12. mesiaci (+ 8,3 %, p < 0,001) a v 18. mesiaci nárast BMD hlavica femoru (+ 3,85 %, p < 0,001), krčku femoru (+ 3,26 %, p < 0,001) a bedrovej chrbtice (+ 9,28 %, p < 0,001). V podskupine (n = 12) v priebehu prvých 12 mesiacov narástlo TBS o 2,4 % (p = 0,01). 18-mesačná liečba TPTD viedla k významnému zvýšení markerov kostného obratu.
Záver:
18-mesačná liečba TPTD viedla k významnému zvýšeniu BMD so súčasným zvýšením všetkých hodnotených markerov kostného obratu. Okrem toho bolo v podskupine účastníkov štúdie pozorované zvýšenie TBS po 12 mesiacoch liečby. Podľa týchto výsledkov bolo preukázané, že u pacientov s GIOP je TPTD vysoko účinný osteoanabolický liek.

Summary
Introduction:
Glucocorticoid therapy results in a rapid loss of bone mineral density (BMD) and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is the most frequent and severe form of secondary osteoporosis. Teriparatide (TPTD) treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis significantly increases cancellous bone volume and connectivity, improves trabecular morphology with a shift toward a more plate-like structure, and increases cortical bone thickness.
Aim of the study:
Assessment of change in BMD and trabecular bone score (TBS) after 12- and 18-months treatment with TPTD in patients with GIOP.
Patients and methods:
Prospective multicentric, non-controlled follow-up of the effect and safety of TPTD treatment in patients with GIOP, performed in 5-referral centers specified at the treatment with TPTD, In all patients included in OSTEO.sk registry the measurements of BMD, at lumbar spine (LS) and proximal femur, and bone turnover markers were performed periodically. In the subset of participants, a TBS was measured.
Results:
From total number of 263 patients included in the registry, 129 patients (20 men aged 51,5 years/109 women aged 59,7 years) were included in the final analysis. An increase of lumbar spine (LS) BMD at month 12 (+8.3%, p < 0.001) and at month 18 an increase of total hip (+3.85%, p < 0.001), femoral neck (+3.26 %, p < 0.001) and LS BMD (+9.28%, p < 0.001) in comparison to baseline values after treatment with TPTD were observed. In the subset (n=12), TBS increase of 2,4% (p=0,01) during first 12 months. 18 months of TPTD therapy led to significant increase of bone turnover markers.
Conclusion:
18 month treatment with TPTD led to significant increase of BMD with concomitant increase in all assessed bone turnover markers. In addition, in subset of the study group and increase of TBS after 12 months was observed. According to these results, it has been proven that TPTD is highly effective osteoanabolic drug in patients with GIOP.

bone mineral density (BMD) – glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis – TBS – teriparatide
Introduction
The prevalence of oral glucocorticoid (GC) use is 0.9% of the total adult population rising to 2.5% at age over 70 years [1]. GC therapy results in a rapid bone loss within the first weeks of treatment leading to osteoporotic fractures in 3 to 6 months from the beginning of GC treatment [2].
Histomorphometric analysis of biopsies from GC-treated individuals have demonstrated a reduction in bone formation at the cellular and tissue level, resulting in reduced bone volume and trabecular thickness. Higher doses and the long-term use of GC, however, also may be associated with an increase in bone resorption, leading to greater bone loss and disruption of cancellous bone architecture [3–7]. GC therapy is associated with reduced intestinal and renal calcium absorption and increased urinary calcium excretion, therefore increasing calcium intake seems to be a logical approach to slow decrease in bone mass and microarchitecture [8,9].
Teriparatide (TPTD) increases periosteal and endocortical bone formation – total bone area, cortical area and bone strength. TPTD treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis significantly increases cancellous bone volume and connectivity, improves trabecular morphology with a shift toward a more plate-like structure, and increases cortical bone thickness, leading to reducing in vertebral and non-vertebral fracture risk [2,10–17].
In last years, a trabecular bone score (TBS), indirect non-invasive bone parameter to describe degradation of trabecular microstructure is widely used [18] And high TBS value indicates better whereas lower TBS indicates worse trabecular bone structure and meaning greater risk of osteoporosis fractures [19–22]. There are several studies proving positive effect of TPTD on TBS in comparison or following to bisphosphonate treatment in patients with GC-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) [23–25].
This study was aimed to assess changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and TBS after 18-month period of treatment with TPTD in patients with GIOP concentrated into referral TPTD treatment centers in Slovakia.
Patients and methods
Patients
From January 2010 till January 2014, a prospective follow-up on effect and safety of TPTD treatment in GIOP patients in 5 referral centers specified at the treatment with TPTD, was performed.
The patients inclusion criteria were as follows:
- bone mineral density T-score < -2.9 or one or more osteoporotic fractures
- the use > 5 mg corticoids for more than 3 months
The regional medical ethical committees in each centre gave approval for the study
Treatment
All patients were treated with 20 μg of recombinant humane parathyroid hormone [1–34] – teriparatide (Forsteo®, Eli Lilly and Company, Netherlands BV), administered daily, subcutaneously. All patients enrolled in the study received daily supplements of 500 to 1 000 mg of Calcium and 400 to 800 IU of Vitamin D.
Outcome measures
The primary outcomes were defined as change in bone mineral density (BMD) at femoral neck (FN), total hip (TH) and lumbar spine (LS) and bone turnover markers after 12 and 18 months of TPTD treatment. Secondary outcomes included prevalence of clinical fractures, changes in TBS, tolerability and safety of the treatment. It was the prospective, open label, non-randomized, 18-months study in five centers in Slovakia (January 2010 – January 2014).
Methods
In all patients, LS BMD, FN and TH region was measured at the baseline, month 12 and 18 using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (Hologic Discovery). In all five centers Hologic densitometer (Discovery) with identical software and normative database was used.
All patients were assessed for serum levels of procolagen type 1, aminoterminal propeptide (P1NP), β-crosslaps (CTx) and osteocalcin (OC) at month 0, 6, 12 and 18. the same method (ECLIA) and Ca in routine manner by local laboratories.
TBS derived from lumbar spine DXA was assessed by the iNsight® v. 1.0 (Medimaps, France) in the subset of patients.
Statistics
Standard descriptive parametric and nonparametric statistics were used for the description of the data. Continuous variables were described using mean and standard deviation or median supplemented by 5th and 95th percentile; categorical variables were described using absolute and relative frequencies of categories (percentage). Statistical significance of time related changes in pair-wise comparisons was analyzed using pair-wise t-test or Wilcoxon paired test for detailed comparisons of two time points. The results were considered statistically significant at the level of alpha < 0.05 in all applied analyses. Analyses were performed using IBM SPSS 22.0.0 (IBM Corporation, 2013).
Results
From total of 263 GIOP patients on TPTD treatment a number of 129 patients (20 men/109 women), who properly terminated TPTD treatment after 18 months, were included in the study. Figure 1 and Figure 2 shows doses of GC used by patient and number of all fractures at the beginning of the follow-up. Baseline characteristics are in Table 1.
Change in bone mineral density
After TPTD treatment, an increase of lumbar spine (LS) BMD at month 12 (+8.3%, p < 0.001) and total hip (+3.85%, p < 0.001), femoral neck (+3.26 %, p < 0.001) and LS BMD (+9.28%, p < 0.001) at month 18 was observed (Figure 3).
Change in bone turnover markers
During study period, P1NP increase of 233%; 304.5% and 176.3% at month 6; 12 and 18 (all p < 0.001), respectively, see Figure 4 for further details.
CTx increased of 171.8% (p < 0.001); 196.9% (p < 0.001) and 154.8% (p < 0.001) at month 6, 12 and 18, respectively. Similarly, OC increased of 248% (p < 0.001); 225.3% (p < 0.001) and 178.3% (p < 0.001) at month 6, 12 and 18, respectively.
Serum calcium levels above reference range (2.7 mmol/l) were present in 3,2%; 8.6%; 5.8% and 3.4% of patients at the baseline, month 6, 12 and 18, respectively (Figure 5).
Effect on fractures
After 18 months of treatment a decrease in number of new onset fractures (2 high trauma, 1 low trauma wrist fracture) was observed compared to the baseline (6 high trauma, 0 low trauma fractures), Table 2.
Treatment with TPTD was well tolerated and no serious side effects were observed.
Effect on trabecular bone score
TBS was evaluated in the subset of 12 patients (7 women, 5 males). An increase 2,4% (p = 0,01) of TBS was observed at month 12 of TPTD treatment (Figure 6).
Discussion
The beneficial effects of daily injection of TPTD have been shown in several randomized, placebo-controlled trials with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis [2,15–17].
In this study, an effect of osteoanabolic treatment with TPTD on BMD, bone turnover markers and TBS was evaluated. Daily TPTD administration for the period of 18 month had positive effect on BMD and bone formation as documented by increase of bone turnover markers. In addition, in the small subset, 12 month treatment resulted in increase of TBS. In past years, there were several studies concerning the effect of TPTD on BMD and the risk of osteoporotic fractures. In the randomized, double-blind clinical trial of 36 months effect of TPTD in comparison to daily alendronate administration in GIOP patients showed significant skeletal benefits (documented by increase in BMD) in patients with GIOP, compared to alendronate [26–28]. Although, our analysis was limited because of absence of control group, the effect of TPTD on BMD was obvious, preferably after 18 months of treatment. The effect of TPTD was supported by increase of bone turnover markers followed with slight decrease at month 18. In other trials comparing a bisphosphonate with TPTD in severe postmenopausal osteoporosis, TPTD therapy was associated with increased areal and volumetric BMD and bone strength compared to alendronate [28,29]. This response may reflect the characteristic ability of glucocorticoids to inhibit osteoblast and osteocyte function profoundly by several mechanisms, including the stimulation of apoptosis [30]. Interestingly, Reid et al. in two of the previous studies with TPTD documented a reduction in non-vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis [31,32]. Another study documented in a group of postmenopausal women with prevalent vertebral fracture a significant decrease in risk of vertebral and non-vertebral fractures after 18-month administration. The treatment was associated with significant improvement in quality of life [33].
Our study, however not aimed to evaluate incidence of fractures, supports the finding with a decreasing number of newly developed high trauma fractures (despite the 1 new low trauma fracture). The standard of care for patients at risk for glucocorticoid-associated bone loss and osteoporosis includes a choice of antiresorptive agents. However, for patients with established osteoporosis who are at high risk for fracture, more effective therapy may be warranted [30,34–39]. In 18-month trial in men with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, TPTD showed also larger improvements in spinal BMD and bone strength and microstructure than risendronate [40]. This is also supported by the effect of TPTD on TBS in our study.
Conclusion
According to the previous studies TPTD as the anabolic agent is appropriate therapeutic strategy for patients at high risk for fracture, such as patients on GC treatment. In this study, treatment with TPTD resulted in BMD increase followed by significant changes in bone turnover markers. The effect of TPTD on bone structure was additionally documented by its positive effect on TBS, Hovewer, larger studies to evaluate TBS are needed. According to these findings, TPTD is highly effective osteoanabolic drug in patients with GIOP.
