5.1骨肉瘤的风险
Abaloparatide致一个剂量依赖增加在骨肉瘤的发生率在雄性和雌性大鼠皮下给药在暴露4至28倍人暴露在临床剂量80 µg后[见非临床毒理学(13.1)]。不知道在人中TYMLOS是否将致骨肉瘤。
在患者处于骨肉瘤的风险增加包括患者有骨Paget氏病或碱性磷酸酶的不能接受解释升高,开放性骨垢板,骨转移或骨额性病,易发生骨肉瘤遗传疾患,或涉及骨植入辐射治疗建议不使用TYMLOS。
不推荐累计使用TYMLOS和甲状旁腺激素类似物(如,特立帕肽)共超过患者的生命期2年。
5.2 体位性低血压
用TYMLOS可能发生体位性低血压,典型地注射的4小时内。伴随症状可能包括眩晕,心悸,心动过速或恶心,和通过患者躺下可能解决。如必要时对头几剂量,TYMLOS应被给予在患者能坐下或躺下处[见不良反应(6.1)]。
5.3 高钙血症
TYMLOS可能致高钙血症。在有预先存在高钙血症患者或in患者有潜在高钙血症疾病建议不使用TYMLOS,例如原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进,因为加重高钙血症的可能性[见不良反应(6.1)]。
5.4 高钙尿症和尿石病
TYMLOS可能致高钙尿症。不知道在有活动性或一个尿石病病史患者,TYMLOS是否可能加重尿石病。如怀疑活动性尿石病或预先存在高钙尿症,应考虑尿钙排泄的测量[见不良反应(6.1)]。
6 不良反应
在其他节更详细描述以下不良反应:
●体位性低血压[见警告和注意事项(5.2)]
●高钙血症[见警告和注意事项(5.3)]
●高钙尿症和尿石病[见警告和注意事项(5.4)]
6.1 临床试验经验
因为临床试验是在广泛不同情况下进行的,临床试验观察到不良反应率不能与另一种药临床试验发生率直接比较而且可能不反映实践中观察到的发生率。
有骨质疏松症绝经后妇女
在一项随机化,多中心,双盲,安慰剂-对照临床试验在有骨质疏松症绝经后妇女评价TYMLOS的安全性,患者年龄49至86岁(均数年龄69岁)患者被随机化至接受80 µg的TYMLOS(N = 824)或安慰剂(N = 821),给予皮下地每天1次共18个月[见临床研究(14)]。
在这项研究中,在TYMLOS组所有-原因死亡率的发生率为0.4%和在安慰剂组0.6%。在TYMLOS组严重不良事件的发生率为10%和在安慰剂组11%。在TYMLOS组由于不良事件终止研究药物患者的百分率为10%和在安慰剂组6%。在TYMLOS组最常见不良反应导致研究药物终止为恶心(2%),眩晕(1%),头痛(1%),和心悸(1%)。
表1显示在试验中最常见不良反应。这些不良反应在基线时一般不存在,用TYMLOS比用安慰剂更常见发生,和用TYMLOS治疗患者发生至少2%。
体位性低血压
在有绝经后骨质疏松症妇女的临床试验中,在TYMLOS组直立位血压下降 ≥20 mmHg收缩压或≥10 mmHg 舒张压的发生率在首次注射后1小时为4%和在安慰剂组为3%。在以后时间点在治疗组间的发生率是一般地相似。接受TYMLOS中1%患者报道体位性低血压的不良反应和接受安慰剂患者为0.5%。TYMLOS-治疗患者(10%)报道眩晕比安慰剂(6%)更多[见警告和注意事项(5.2)]。
心动过速
在有绝经后骨质疏松症妇女,在2%接受TYMLOS患者报道心动过速的不良反应,包括窦性心动过速和在安慰剂组1%患者。在5/13患者接受TYMLOS经受心动过速,症状发生在给药的1小时内。TYMLOS曽伴随有一个剂量依赖心率增加,它发生在注射后15分钟内和在约6个小时中解决[见临床药理学(12.2)]。
注射部位反应
试验的头一个月期间,每天在注射后一个小时评价注射部位反应。TYMLOS比安慰剂有一个注射部位发红较高的发生率(58%相比28%),水肿(10%相比3%)和疼痛(9%相比7%)。严重发红,严重水肿,和严重疼痛被报道在2.9%,0.4%,和0.4%的TYMLOS-治疗患者中。.
实验室异常
高钙血症
在有绝经后骨质疏松症妇女的临床试验中,TYMLOS致在血清中钙浓度增高[见警告和注意事项(5.3)]。高钙血症的发生率,被定义为白蛋白校正血清钙≥10.7 mg/dL在TYMLOS-治疗患者在任何随访注射后4小时为3%而用安慰剂为0.1%。在两组中给药前血清钙是相似于基线。有2例(0.2%)TYMLOS-治疗患者和无安慰剂-治疗患者由于高钙血症从研究终止。在有轻度或中度肾受损患者(4%)与有正常肾功能患者(1%)用 TYMLOS钙血症的发生率是较高.
在血清尿酸增加
TYMLOS增加血清尿酸浓度。在绝经后骨质疏松症试验中,在TYMLOS组25%患者有正常基线尿酸浓度患者,和在安慰剂组6%患者有至少一次基线后浓度高于正常范围。在TYMLOS-治疗患者观察到的高尿酸血症不伴随一个增加不良反应的痛风或关节痛超过用安慰剂观察到。
高钙尿症和尿石病
在有绝经后骨质疏松症妇女的临床试验中,尿钙肌酐比值 >400 mg/g的总体发生率用TYMLOS是较高于用安慰剂(分别20%相比15%)。2.1%的TYMLOS-治疗患者报道尿石症而安慰剂-治疗患者为1.7%。
在有骨质疏松症绝经后妇女来自延伸研究不良反应
用TYMLOS或安慰剂治疗18个月后,1139例妇女转换治疗用阿仑膦酸钠[alendronate]70 mg 口服给予每周1次。阿仑膦酸钠治疗期间不良事件的发生率是与患者以前安慰剂或TYMLOS治疗相似[见临床研究(14)]。
6.2 免疫原性
如同所有治疗性蛋白,有对免疫原性潜能。抗体形成的检测是高度依赖于分析的灵敏度和特异性。此外,在一项分析中抗体观测阳性的观察发生率(包括中和抗体)可能受几种因子影响包括分析方法学,样品处置,采样时机,同时药物,和所患疾病。因为这些理由,在下面研究中描述对TYMLOS抗体的发生率与其他研究或对其他产品中抗体的的发生率比较可能是误导。
接受TYMLOS共18个月患者中,49%(300/610)发生抗-abaloparatide抗体,这些中,68%(201/297)发生对abaloparatide中和抗体。. Of the有抗-abaloparatide抗体患者中被测试对交叉-反应性,2.3%(7/298)发生对PTHrP交叉-反应性,43%(3/7)发生对PTHrP中和抗体,和0%(0/298)发生对PTH交叉-反应性抗体。抗体形成没有表现出对安全性或疗效终点任何临床上意义影响,包括骨矿物质密度(BMD)反应,骨折减低,免疫-相关超敏性或过敏反应,或其他不良事件。
用TYMLOS治疗期间有抗-abaloparatide抗体患者的多数,85%(256/300),TYMLOS治疗完成后6个月有随访抗体测量。这些患者,56%(143/256)抗体仍阳性。
7 药物相互作用
未曽进行特异性药物-药物相互作用研究[见临床药理学(12.3)]。
8 在特殊人群中使用
8.1 妊娠
风险总结
在生殖潜能女性中TYMLOS不是使用的适应证。没有妊娠妇女TYMLOS使用的人数据告知任何药物风险。未曽进行用abaloparatide动物生殖研究。
8.2 哺乳
风险总结
在生殖潜能女性TYMLOS不是使用适应证。没有abaloparatide在人乳汁中存在,对哺乳喂养婴儿的影响,或对乳汁产生的影响的信息。
8.4 儿童使用
尚未确定在儿童患者中TYMLOS的安全性和有效性。不推荐TYMLOS使用在儿童患者有开放性骨垢板或易发生骨肉瘤遗传疾患因为增加基线骨肉瘤的风险[见警告和注意事项(5.1)]。
8.5 老年人使用
在TYMLOS的绝经后骨质疏松症临床研究患者总数中,82%为年龄65 岁和以上,和19%为年龄75岁和以上。这些受试者和较年轻受试者间未观察到安全性或有效性总体差别,但不能除外有些老年个体更大灵敏度。
8.6 肾受损
对有轻度,中度,或严重肾受损患者无需剂量调整。一项研究在有正常肾功能或轻度,中度,或严重肾受损受试者进行研究一个单次剂量的TYMLOS 80 µg 皮下给予。Abaloparatide的最高浓度(Cmax)和浓度-时间曲线下面积(AUC)分别增加1.4-和2.1-倍。在有严重肾受损受试者,与有正常肾功能受试者比较。有严重肾受损患者可能有增加abaloparatide暴露可能增加不良反应的风险;所以,监视不良反应[见临床药理学(12.3)]。
10 药物过量
在一项临床研究中,意外的过量被报道在一例患者在一天中接受400 µg(5倍推荐的临床剂量);给药被暂时地中断。患者经受衰弱,头痛,恶心,和眩晕。过量天不伴随血清钙,但下一天患者的血清钙是在正常范围内。药物过量的效应可能包括高钙血症,恶心,呕吐,眩晕,心动过速,体位性低血压,和头痛。
药物过量处理
对TYMLOS没有特异性抗毒药。怀疑过量的治疗应包括TYMLOS的终止,血清钙和磷的监视,和执行适当的支持措施,例如水化。根据分子量,血浆蛋白结合和分布容积,预计abaloparatide 是不能被透析。
11 一般描述
注射用TYMLOS为皮下给药含abaloparatide,一种合成的34氨基酸肽。Abaloparatide是一种人甲状旁腺激素相关肽,PTHrP(1-34)的类似物。它对hPTH(1-34)(人甲状旁腺激素1-34)有41%同源性和对hPTHrP(1-34)(人甲状旁腺激素-相关肽1-34) 76%同源性。
Abaloparatide有一个分子式C174 H300 N56 O49和一个分子量3961道尔顿有下面显示氨基酸序列:
注射用TYMLOS是作为一个无菌,无色,清晰溶液在一个玻璃笔芯[cartridge]中供应它被预装至可遗弃单次-患者-使用笔中。该笔意向输送30每天1次abaloparatide剂量80 µg在40 µL。 每个笔芯含1.56 mL的TYMLOS溶液。每mL含2000 µg abaloparatide和以下无活性成分:5 mg 酚,5.08 mg三水乙酸钠,6.38 mg醋酸,和注射用水。
12 临床药理学
12.1 作用机制
Abaloparatide是一种PTHrP(1-34)类似物,它作用作为一种激动剂在PTH1受体(PTH1R)。这导致在靶细胞中cAMP信号通路的活化。在大鼠和猴中,abaloparatide对骨有一种同化效应,被在BMD和骨矿物质量(Bµ)增加所显与在脊椎和/或非脊椎部位骨力量增加相关[见非临床毒理学(13.2)]。
12.2 药效动力学
对骨更新标志物的影响
一项abaloparatide给药每天1次共24周的剂量发现研究显示对BMD和骨形成标志物一个剂量-反应相互关系。
在一项临床研究中,对有骨质疏松症绝经后妇女TYMLOS的每天给药增加骨形成标记物血清前胶原I型N-前肽[procollagen type I N-propeptide(PINP)]。在PINP水平中增加在月1达到峰值在基线上93%然后缓慢地随时间减低。在治疗期间的自始至终在PINP中增加是维持高于基线。在月18时,PINP浓度是约45%高于基线。在骨再吸收标志物中增加。血清I型胶原蛋白交联C-端肽[serum collagen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide(sCTX)]在月3时达到峰值在基线上43%然后在月18减低至基线上20%。
心脏电生理学
在55例健康受试者进行接受单次剂量的安慰剂一项4-因素交叉彻底QT/QTc研究,皮下剂量的abaloparatide在80 µg和240 µg(推荐剂量三倍),和莫西沙星[moxifloxacin]400 mg口服。用80 µg和240 µg给药后Abaloparatide增加心率,在首个时间点(15分钟)有一个均数峰分别增加15跳每分钟(bpm)和20 bpm。Abaloparatide对QTcI(个体化校正的QT间期)或心脏电生理学没有临床上有意义的的影响。
12.3 药代动力学
皮下给予abaloparatide 80 µg的7天后,均数(SD)abaloparatide暴露对Cmax为812(118) pg/mL和对AUC 0-24为1622(641) pg·hr/mL。
下面图1显示在绝经后妇女(N = 8)在天7时均数(SD)abaloparatide药代动力学图形。
图1. 在绝经后妇女在天7时均数Abaloparatide药代动力学图形。
吸收
Abaloparatide 80 µg皮下给药后的达峰浓度的中位数时间(范围)为0.51 hr(0.25至0.52 hr)。 在健康妇女皮下给药一个80 µg剂量abaloparatide的绝对生物利用度为36%。
分布
Abaloparatide的体外血浆蛋白结合为约70%。分布容积为约50 L。
消除
Abaloparatide的均数(SD)半衰期为1.7(0.7) hrs。多肽片段为主要地通过肾排泄消除。
代谢
未曽用TYMLOS进行特异性代谢或排泄研究。Abaloparatid通过肾的代谢是与与非特异性水解降解至较小肽片段,接着通过肾清除一致。
特异性人群
老年患者
在绝经后妇女年龄范围从49至86岁未观察到在abaloparatide药代动力学中年龄-相关差别。
种族
在临床试验中根据种族未观察到在abaloparatide药代动力学中差别。
有肾受损患者
一项单次80 µg皮下剂量的abaloparatide被给予至男性和女性有肾受损患者:8例患者有轻度肾受损(CLCr 60至89 mL/min),7例患者有中度肾受损(CLCr 30至59 mL/min),8例患者有严重肾受损(CLCr 15至29 mL/min),和8例健康受试者有正常肾功能(CLCr 90或更大 mL/min)按性别,年龄,和机体质量指数(BMI)匹配。有轻度,中度,和严重肾受损患者,与有正常肾功能健康受试者比较Abaloparatide Cmax增加 1.0-,1.3-,和1.4-倍。有轻度,中度,和严重肾受损患者,与有正常肾功能健康受试者比较,Abaloparatide AUC增加1.2-,1.7-,和2.1-倍。在研究中没有包括进行透析患者。
药物相互作用
体外研究显示abaloparatide,在治疗浓度,不抑制或诱导细胞色素P450酶。
13 非临床毒理学
13.1 癌发生,突变发生,生育力受损
在一项2-年致癌性研究,abaloparatide被给予一天1次至雄性和雌性Fischer大鼠通过皮下注射在剂量10,25,和50 µg/kg。这些剂量导致全身暴露至abaloparatide分别在人推荐皮下剂量80 µg(基于AUC比较)后观察到全身暴露的4,16,和28 倍。用abaloparatide相关治疗的肿瘤变化由在所有雄性和雌性给药组在骨肉瘤和成骨细胞瘤[osteoblastoma]发生率明显的剂量依赖增加组成。在未治疗对照骨肉瘤的发生率为0-2%和在雄性和雌性高剂量组分别达到87%和62%。骨肿瘤是伴随骨肿块明显增加。
大鼠发现与人的相关联是不确定。处于骨肉瘤的风险增加患者建议不使用TYMLOS[见警告和注意事项(5.1)]。
在标测试包括Ames试验对细菌突变发生,利用人外周血淋巴细胞染色体畸变试验和小鼠微核试验中,Abaloparatide没有遗传毒性或致突变性。
13.2 动物毒理学和药理学
在毒性研究中在大鼠和猴分别至26-周和39-周时间,发现包括血管扩张,在血清钙中增加,在血清磷减低,和软组织矿物质化在剂量≥10 µg/kg/day。这个10 µg/kg/day剂量导致全身暴露至abaloparatide在大鼠和猴分别为在人在每天皮下剂量80 µg暴露2和3倍。
在12-和16-个月研究在卵巢切除(OVX)大鼠和猴,在剂量至分别人暴露在推荐皮下剂量80 µg,(基于AUC 比较)11和1倍评价abaloparatide对骨骼的药理学影响。在这些绝经后骨质疏松症动物模型中,用abaloparatide治疗导致在椎体和/或非椎体部位在骨质量剂量依赖增加,相关于骨力量增加。Abaloparatide的同化效应是由于在成骨细胞骨形成中主要增加和被在骨小梁厚度和/或皮质厚度增加证据由于骨内膜骨并列[endosteal bone apposition]。Abaloparatide 维持或改善骨质量在所有被评价的骨部位和不致任何矿物质化缺陷。
14 临床研究
在有绝经后骨质疏松症妇女中疗效研究
在研究003(NCT 01343004)评价为绝经后骨质疏松症的治疗TYMLOS的疗效,一项18-个月,随机化,多中心,双盲,安慰剂-对照临床试验在绝经后妇女年龄49至86岁(均数年龄69)患者被随机化接受TYMLOS 80 µg(N = 824)或安慰剂(N = 821)给予皮下地每天1次。约80%患者为高加索人,16%为亚裔和3%为黑种人;24%为西班牙裔。在基线时,均数T-评分为-2.9在腰椎,-2.1在股骨颈处,和-1.9在总股骨。在基线时,24%患者有至少一个流行椎体骨折和48% 有至少一个以前非椎骨骨折。患者每天服用补充钙(500至1000 mg)和维生素D(400至800 IU)。
疗效研究被延伸作为研究005(NCT 01657162),一项开放研究其中患者是再也不接受TYMLOS或安慰剂单是维持在他们的原先随机化治疗组和接受70 mg阿仑膦酸钠每周,与钙和维生素D补充共6个月。研究005纳入1139例患者,代表92%完成研究003患者。这包括558例患者以前曽接受TYMLOS和581例患者以前曽接受安慰剂。累计的25-个月疗效数据组包括18个月暴露至TYMLOS或安慰剂在研究003,1个月无治疗,接着被6个月的阿仑膦酸钠治疗在研究005。
对新脊椎骨折影响
主要终点是在用TYMLOS治疗患者与安慰剂比较新脊椎骨折的发生率。在18个月与安慰剂比较,TYMLOS导致在新脊椎骨折的发生率一个显著减低(TYMLOS 0.6%与安慰剂4.2%比较,p <0.0001)。对TYMLOS 与安慰剂比较,在18个月新脊椎骨折的绝对风险减低为3.6%和相对风险减低为86%(表2)。在25个月时用TYMLOS治疗然后阿仑膦酸钠患者新脊椎骨折的发生率为0.6%,与之比较,在用安慰剂治疗然后阿仑膦酸钠患者为4.4% (p <0.0001)。在25个月时对用TYMLOS治疗然后阿仑膦酸钠患者新脊椎骨折相对风险减低为87%,与之比较,用安慰剂治疗然后阿仑膦酸钠患者,和绝对风险减低为3.9%(表2)。
对非脊椎骨折影响
TYMLOS 导致在18个月的治疗加1个月随访结束时非脊椎骨折的发生率一个显著减低这时没有给予药物对TYMLOS-治疗患者(2.7%与之比较对安慰剂-治疗患者4.7%)。对TYMLOS与安慰剂比较非脊椎骨折的相对减低为43%(对数秩检验[logrank test] p = 0.049)和绝对风险减低为2.0%。
在研究005阿仑膦酸钠治疗6个月后,在25个月时在以前TYMLOS组妇女非脊椎骨折的累计发生率为2.7%与之比较,对在以前安慰剂组妇女为5.6% (图2)。在25个月时,在非脊椎骨折中相对风险减低为52%(对数秩检验p = 0.017)和绝对风险减低为2.9%。

●体位性低血压[见警告和注意事项(5.2)]
●高钙血症[见警告和注意事项(5.3)]
●高钙尿症和尿石病[见警告和注意事项(5.4)]
6.1 临床试验经验
因为临床试验是在广泛不同情况下进行的,临床试验观察到不良反应率不能与另一种药临床试验发生率直接比较而且可能不反映实践中观察到的发生率。
有骨质疏松症绝经后妇女
在一项随机化,多中心,双盲,安慰剂-对照临床试验在有骨质疏松症绝经后妇女评价TYMLOS的安全性,患者年龄49至86岁(均数年龄69岁)患者被随机化至接受80 µg的TYMLOS(N = 824)或安慰剂(N = 821),给予皮下地每天1次共18个月[见临床研究(14)]。
在这项研究中,在TYMLOS组所有-原因死亡率的发生率为0.4%和在安慰剂组0.6%。在TYMLOS组严重不良事件的发生率为10%和在安慰剂组11%。在TYMLOS组由于不良事件终止研究药物患者的百分率为10%和在安慰剂组6%。在TYMLOS组最常见不良反应导致研究药物终止为恶心(2%),眩晕(1%),头痛(1%),和心悸(1%)。
表1显示在试验中最常见不良反应。这些不良反应在基线时一般不存在,用TYMLOS比用安慰剂更常见发生,和用TYMLOS治疗患者发生至少2%。
体位性低血压
在有绝经后骨质疏松症妇女的临床试验中,在TYMLOS组直立位血压下降 ≥20 mmHg收缩压或≥10 mmHg 舒张压的发生率在首次注射后1小时为4%和在安慰剂组为3%。在以后时间点在治疗组间的发生率是一般地相似。接受TYMLOS中1%患者报道体位性低血压的不良反应和接受安慰剂患者为0.5%。TYMLOS-治疗患者(10%)报道眩晕比安慰剂(6%)更多[见警告和注意事项(5.2)]。
心动过速
在有绝经后骨质疏松症妇女,在2%接受TYMLOS患者报道心动过速的不良反应,包括窦性心动过速和在安慰剂组1%患者。在5/13患者接受TYMLOS经受心动过速,症状发生在给药的1小时内。TYMLOS曽伴随有一个剂量依赖心率增加,它发生在注射后15分钟内和在约6个小时中解决[见临床药理学(12.2)]。
注射部位反应
试验的头一个月期间,每天在注射后一个小时评价注射部位反应。TYMLOS比安慰剂有一个注射部位发红较高的发生率(58%相比28%),水肿(10%相比3%)和疼痛(9%相比7%)。严重发红,严重水肿,和严重疼痛被报道在2.9%,0.4%,和0.4%的TYMLOS-治疗患者中。.
实验室异常
高钙血症
在有绝经后骨质疏松症妇女的临床试验中,TYMLOS致在血清中钙浓度增高[见警告和注意事项(5.3)]。高钙血症的发生率,被定义为白蛋白校正血清钙≥10.7 mg/dL在TYMLOS-治疗患者在任何随访注射后4小时为3%而用安慰剂为0.1%。在两组中给药前血清钙是相似于基线。有2例(0.2%)TYMLOS-治疗患者和无安慰剂-治疗患者由于高钙血症从研究终止。在有轻度或中度肾受损患者(4%)与有正常肾功能患者(1%)用 TYMLOS钙血症的发生率是较高.
在血清尿酸增加
TYMLOS增加血清尿酸浓度。在绝经后骨质疏松症试验中,在TYMLOS组25%患者有正常基线尿酸浓度患者,和在安慰剂组6%患者有至少一次基线后浓度高于正常范围。在TYMLOS-治疗患者观察到的高尿酸血症不伴随一个增加不良反应的痛风或关节痛超过用安慰剂观察到。
高钙尿症和尿石病
在有绝经后骨质疏松症妇女的临床试验中,尿钙肌酐比值 >400 mg/g的总体发生率用TYMLOS是较高于用安慰剂(分别20%相比15%)。2.1%的TYMLOS-治疗患者报道尿石症而安慰剂-治疗患者为1.7%。
在有骨质疏松症绝经后妇女来自延伸研究不良反应
用TYMLOS或安慰剂治疗18个月后,1139例妇女转换治疗用阿仑膦酸钠[alendronate]70 mg 口服给予每周1次。阿仑膦酸钠治疗期间不良事件的发生率是与患者以前安慰剂或TYMLOS治疗相似[见临床研究(14)]。
6.2 免疫原性
如同所有治疗性蛋白,有对免疫原性潜能。抗体形成的检测是高度依赖于分析的灵敏度和特异性。此外,在一项分析中抗体观测阳性的观察发生率(包括中和抗体)可能受几种因子影响包括分析方法学,样品处置,采样时机,同时药物,和所患疾病。因为这些理由,在下面研究中描述对TYMLOS抗体的发生率与其他研究或对其他产品中抗体的的发生率比较可能是误导。
接受TYMLOS共18个月患者中,49%(300/610)发生抗-abaloparatide抗体,这些中,68%(201/297)发生对abaloparatide中和抗体。. Of the有抗-abaloparatide抗体患者中被测试对交叉-反应性,2.3%(7/298)发生对PTHrP交叉-反应性,43%(3/7)发生对PTHrP中和抗体,和0%(0/298)发生对PTH交叉-反应性抗体。抗体形成没有表现出对安全性或疗效终点任何临床上意义影响,包括骨矿物质密度(BMD)反应,骨折减低,免疫-相关超敏性或过敏反应,或其他不良事件。
用TYMLOS治疗期间有抗-abaloparatide抗体患者的多数,85%(256/300),TYMLOS治疗完成后6个月有随访抗体测量。这些患者,56%(143/256)抗体仍阳性。
7 药物相互作用
未曽进行特异性药物-药物相互作用研究[见临床药理学(12.3)]。
8 在特殊人群中使用
8.1 妊娠
风险总结
在生殖潜能女性中TYMLOS不是使用的适应证。没有妊娠妇女TYMLOS使用的人数据告知任何药物风险。未曽进行用abaloparatide动物生殖研究。
8.2 哺乳
风险总结
在生殖潜能女性TYMLOS不是使用适应证。没有abaloparatide在人乳汁中存在,对哺乳喂养婴儿的影响,或对乳汁产生的影响的信息。
8.4 儿童使用
尚未确定在儿童患者中TYMLOS的安全性和有效性。不推荐TYMLOS使用在儿童患者有开放性骨垢板或易发生骨肉瘤遗传疾患因为增加基线骨肉瘤的风险[见警告和注意事项(5.1)]。
8.5 老年人使用
在TYMLOS的绝经后骨质疏松症临床研究患者总数中,82%为年龄65 岁和以上,和19%为年龄75岁和以上。这些受试者和较年轻受试者间未观察到安全性或有效性总体差别,但不能除外有些老年个体更大灵敏度。
8.6 肾受损
对有轻度,中度,或严重肾受损患者无需剂量调整。一项研究在有正常肾功能或轻度,中度,或严重肾受损受试者进行研究一个单次剂量的TYMLOS 80 µg 皮下给予。Abaloparatide的最高浓度(Cmax)和浓度-时间曲线下面积(AUC)分别增加1.4-和2.1-倍。在有严重肾受损受试者,与有正常肾功能受试者比较。有严重肾受损患者可能有增加abaloparatide暴露可能增加不良反应的风险;所以,监视不良反应[见临床药理学(12.3)]。
10 药物过量
在一项临床研究中,意外的过量被报道在一例患者在一天中接受400 µg(5倍推荐的临床剂量);给药被暂时地中断。患者经受衰弱,头痛,恶心,和眩晕。过量天不伴随血清钙,但下一天患者的血清钙是在正常范围内。药物过量的效应可能包括高钙血症,恶心,呕吐,眩晕,心动过速,体位性低血压,和头痛。
药物过量处理
对TYMLOS没有特异性抗毒药。怀疑过量的治疗应包括TYMLOS的终止,血清钙和磷的监视,和执行适当的支持措施,例如水化。根据分子量,血浆蛋白结合和分布容积,预计abaloparatide 是不能被透析。
11 一般描述
注射用TYMLOS为皮下给药含abaloparatide,一种合成的34氨基酸肽。Abaloparatide是一种人甲状旁腺激素相关肽,PTHrP(1-34)的类似物。它对hPTH(1-34)(人甲状旁腺激素1-34)有41%同源性和对hPTHrP(1-34)(人甲状旁腺激素-相关肽1-34) 76%同源性。
Abaloparatide有一个分子式C174 H300 N56 O49和一个分子量3961道尔顿有下面显示氨基酸序列:
注射用TYMLOS是作为一个无菌,无色,清晰溶液在一个玻璃笔芯[cartridge]中供应它被预装至可遗弃单次-患者-使用笔中。该笔意向输送30每天1次abaloparatide剂量80 µg在40 µL。 每个笔芯含1.56 mL的TYMLOS溶液。每mL含2000 µg abaloparatide和以下无活性成分:5 mg 酚,5.08 mg三水乙酸钠,6.38 mg醋酸,和注射用水。
12 临床药理学
12.1 作用机制
Abaloparatide是一种PTHrP(1-34)类似物,它作用作为一种激动剂在PTH1受体(PTH1R)。这导致在靶细胞中cAMP信号通路的活化。在大鼠和猴中,abaloparatide对骨有一种同化效应,被在BMD和骨矿物质量(Bµ)增加所显与在脊椎和/或非脊椎部位骨力量增加相关[见非临床毒理学(13.2)]。
12.2 药效动力学
对骨更新标志物的影响
一项abaloparatide给药每天1次共24周的剂量发现研究显示对BMD和骨形成标志物一个剂量-反应相互关系。
在一项临床研究中,对有骨质疏松症绝经后妇女TYMLOS的每天给药增加骨形成标记物血清前胶原I型N-前肽[procollagen type I N-propeptide(PINP)]。在PINP水平中增加在月1达到峰值在基线上93%然后缓慢地随时间减低。在治疗期间的自始至终在PINP中增加是维持高于基线。在月18时,PINP浓度是约45%高于基线。在骨再吸收标志物中增加。血清I型胶原蛋白交联C-端肽[serum collagen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide(sCTX)]在月3时达到峰值在基线上43%然后在月18减低至基线上20%。
心脏电生理学
在55例健康受试者进行接受单次剂量的安慰剂一项4-因素交叉彻底QT/QTc研究,皮下剂量的abaloparatide在80 µg和240 µg(推荐剂量三倍),和莫西沙星[moxifloxacin]400 mg口服。用80 µg和240 µg给药后Abaloparatide增加心率,在首个时间点(15分钟)有一个均数峰分别增加15跳每分钟(bpm)和20 bpm。Abaloparatide对QTcI(个体化校正的QT间期)或心脏电生理学没有临床上有意义的的影响。
12.3 药代动力学
皮下给予abaloparatide 80 µg的7天后,均数(SD)abaloparatide暴露对Cmax为812(118) pg/mL和对AUC 0-24为1622(641) pg·hr/mL。
下面图1显示在绝经后妇女(N = 8)在天7时均数(SD)abaloparatide药代动力学图形。
图1. 在绝经后妇女在天7时均数Abaloparatide药代动力学图形。
吸收
Abaloparatide 80 µg皮下给药后的达峰浓度的中位数时间(范围)为0.51 hr(0.25至0.52 hr)。 在健康妇女皮下给药一个80 µg剂量abaloparatide的绝对生物利用度为36%。
分布
Abaloparatide的体外血浆蛋白结合为约70%。分布容积为约50 L。
消除
Abaloparatide的均数(SD)半衰期为1.7(0.7) hrs。多肽片段为主要地通过肾排泄消除。
代谢
未曽用TYMLOS进行特异性代谢或排泄研究。Abaloparatid通过肾的代谢是与与非特异性水解降解至较小肽片段,接着通过肾清除一致。
特异性人群
老年患者
在绝经后妇女年龄范围从49至86岁未观察到在abaloparatide药代动力学中年龄-相关差别。
种族
在临床试验中根据种族未观察到在abaloparatide药代动力学中差别。
有肾受损患者
一项单次80 µg皮下剂量的abaloparatide被给予至男性和女性有肾受损患者:8例患者有轻度肾受损(CLCr 60至89 mL/min),7例患者有中度肾受损(CLCr 30至59 mL/min),8例患者有严重肾受损(CLCr 15至29 mL/min),和8例健康受试者有正常肾功能(CLCr 90或更大 mL/min)按性别,年龄,和机体质量指数(BMI)匹配。有轻度,中度,和严重肾受损患者,与有正常肾功能健康受试者比较Abaloparatide Cmax增加 1.0-,1.3-,和1.4-倍。有轻度,中度,和严重肾受损患者,与有正常肾功能健康受试者比较,Abaloparatide AUC增加1.2-,1.7-,和2.1-倍。在研究中没有包括进行透析患者。
药物相互作用
体外研究显示abaloparatide,在治疗浓度,不抑制或诱导细胞色素P450酶。
13 非临床毒理学
13.1 癌发生,突变发生,生育力受损
在一项2-年致癌性研究,abaloparatide被给予一天1次至雄性和雌性Fischer大鼠通过皮下注射在剂量10,25,和50 µg/kg。这些剂量导致全身暴露至abaloparatide分别在人推荐皮下剂量80 µg(基于AUC比较)后观察到全身暴露的4,16,和28 倍。用abaloparatide相关治疗的肿瘤变化由在所有雄性和雌性给药组在骨肉瘤和成骨细胞瘤[osteoblastoma]发生率明显的剂量依赖增加组成。在未治疗对照骨肉瘤的发生率为0-2%和在雄性和雌性高剂量组分别达到87%和62%。骨肿瘤是伴随骨肿块明显增加。
大鼠发现与人的相关联是不确定。处于骨肉瘤的风险增加患者建议不使用TYMLOS[见警告和注意事项(5.1)]。
在标测试包括Ames试验对细菌突变发生,利用人外周血淋巴细胞染色体畸变试验和小鼠微核试验中,Abaloparatide没有遗传毒性或致突变性。
13.2 动物毒理学和药理学
在毒性研究中在大鼠和猴分别至26-周和39-周时间,发现包括血管扩张,在血清钙中增加,在血清磷减低,和软组织矿物质化在剂量≥10 µg/kg/day。这个10 µg/kg/day剂量导致全身暴露至abaloparatide在大鼠和猴分别为在人在每天皮下剂量80 µg暴露2和3倍。
在12-和16-个月研究在卵巢切除(OVX)大鼠和猴,在剂量至分别人暴露在推荐皮下剂量80 µg,(基于AUC 比较)11和1倍评价abaloparatide对骨骼的药理学影响。在这些绝经后骨质疏松症动物模型中,用abaloparatide治疗导致在椎体和/或非椎体部位在骨质量剂量依赖增加,相关于骨力量增加。Abaloparatide的同化效应是由于在成骨细胞骨形成中主要增加和被在骨小梁厚度和/或皮质厚度增加证据由于骨内膜骨并列[endosteal bone apposition]。Abaloparatide 维持或改善骨质量在所有被评价的骨部位和不致任何矿物质化缺陷。
14 临床研究
在有绝经后骨质疏松症妇女中疗效研究
在研究003(NCT 01343004)评价为绝经后骨质疏松症的治疗TYMLOS的疗效,一项18-个月,随机化,多中心,双盲,安慰剂-对照临床试验在绝经后妇女年龄49至86岁(均数年龄69)患者被随机化接受TYMLOS 80 µg(N = 824)或安慰剂(N = 821)给予皮下地每天1次。约80%患者为高加索人,16%为亚裔和3%为黑种人;24%为西班牙裔。在基线时,均数T-评分为-2.9在腰椎,-2.1在股骨颈处,和-1.9在总股骨。在基线时,24%患者有至少一个流行椎体骨折和48% 有至少一个以前非椎骨骨折。患者每天服用补充钙(500至1000 mg)和维生素D(400至800 IU)。
疗效研究被延伸作为研究005(NCT 01657162),一项开放研究其中患者是再也不接受TYMLOS或安慰剂单是维持在他们的原先随机化治疗组和接受70 mg阿仑膦酸钠每周,与钙和维生素D补充共6个月。研究005纳入1139例患者,代表92%完成研究003患者。这包括558例患者以前曽接受TYMLOS和581例患者以前曽接受安慰剂。累计的25-个月疗效数据组包括18个月暴露至TYMLOS或安慰剂在研究003,1个月无治疗,接着被6个月的阿仑膦酸钠治疗在研究005。
对新脊椎骨折影响
主要终点是在用TYMLOS治疗患者与安慰剂比较新脊椎骨折的发生率。在18个月与安慰剂比较,TYMLOS导致在新脊椎骨折的发生率一个显著减低(TYMLOS 0.6%与安慰剂4.2%比较,p <0.0001)。对TYMLOS 与安慰剂比较,在18个月新脊椎骨折的绝对风险减低为3.6%和相对风险减低为86%(表2)。在25个月时用TYMLOS治疗然后阿仑膦酸钠患者新脊椎骨折的发生率为0.6%,与之比较,在用安慰剂治疗然后阿仑膦酸钠患者为4.4% (p <0.0001)。在25个月时对用TYMLOS治疗然后阿仑膦酸钠患者新脊椎骨折相对风险减低为87%,与之比较,用安慰剂治疗然后阿仑膦酸钠患者,和绝对风险减低为3.9%(表2)。
对非脊椎骨折影响
TYMLOS 导致在18个月的治疗加1个月随访结束时非脊椎骨折的发生率一个显著减低这时没有给予药物对TYMLOS-治疗患者(2.7%与之比较对安慰剂-治疗患者4.7%)。对TYMLOS与安慰剂比较非脊椎骨折的相对减低为43%(对数秩检验[logrank test] p = 0.049)和绝对风险减低为2.0%。
在研究005阿仑膦酸钠治疗6个月后,在25个月时在以前TYMLOS组妇女非脊椎骨折的累计发生率为2.7%与之比较,对在以前安慰剂组妇女为5.6% (图2)。在25个月时,在非脊椎骨折中相对风险减低为52%(对数秩检验p = 0.017)和绝对风险减低为2.9%。

Generic Name: abaloparatide
Dosage Form: injection, solution
Medically reviewed on September 1, 2017
WARNING: RISK OF OSTEOSARCOMA
· Abaloparatide caused a dose-dependent increase in the incidence of osteosarcoma (a malignant bone tumor) in male and female rats. The effect was observed at systemic exposures to abaloparatide ranging from 4 to 28 times the exposure in humans receiving the 80 mcg dose. It is unknown if Tymlos will cause osteosarcoma in humans [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)] .
· The use of Tymlos is not recommended in patients at increased risk of osteosarcoma including those with Paget's disease of bone or unexplained elevations of alkaline phosphatase, open epiphyses, bone metastases or skeletal malignancies, hereditary disorders predisposing to osteosarcoma, or prior external beam or implant radiation therapy involving the skeleton [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
· Cumulative use of Tymlos and parathyroid hormone analogs (e.g., teriparatide) for more than 2 years during a patient’s lifetime is not recommended [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Indications and Usage for Tymlos
Tymlos is indicated for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture defined as a history of osteoporotic fracture, multiple risk factors for fracture, or patients who have failed or are intolerant to other available osteoporosis therapy. In postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, Tymlos reduces the risk of vertebral fractures and nonvertebral fractures [see Clinical Studies (14)].
Limitations of Use
Because of the unknown relevance of the rodent osteosarcoma findings to humans, cumulative use of Tymlos and parathyroid hormone analogs (e.g., teriparatide) for more than 2 years during a patient’s lifetime is not recommended [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
· The recommended dosage of Tymlos is 80 mcg subcutaneously once daily.
· Cumulative use of Tymlos and parathyroid hormone analogs (e.g., teriparatide) for more than 2 years during a patient’s lifetime is not recommended [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
· Patients should receive supplemental calcium and vitamin D if dietary intake is inadequate.
Administration Instructions· Administer Tymlos as a subcutaneous injection into the periumbilical region of the abdomen. Rotate the site of the injection every day and administer at approximately the same time every day. Do not administer intravenously or intramuscularly.
· Administer the first several doses where the patient can sit or lie down if necessary, in case symptoms of orthostatic hypotension occur [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
· Tymlos is a clear and colorless solution. Visually inspect Tymlos for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. Do not use if solid particles appear or if the solution is cloudy or colored.
· Provide appropriate training and instruction to patients and caregivers on the proper use of the Tymlos pen.
Dosage Forms and StrengthsInjection: 3120 mcg/1.56 mL (2000 mcg/mL) in a single-patient-use prefilled pen. The prefilled pen delivers 30 doses of Tymlos, each containing 80 mcg of abaloparatide in 40 mcL of a sterile, clear, colorless solution.
ContraindicationsNone.
Warnings and PrecautionsRisk of OsteosarcomaAbaloparatide caused a dose-dependent increase in the incidence of osteosarcoma in male and female rats after subcutaneous administration at exposures 4 to 28 times the human exposure at the clinical dose of 80 mcg [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)]. It is unknown whether Tymlos will cause osteosarcoma in humans.
The use of Tymlos is not recommended in patients at increased risk of osteosarcoma including those with Paget's disease of bone or unexplained elevations of alkaline phosphatase, open epiphyses, bone metastases or skeletal malignancies, hereditary disorders predisposing to osteosarcoma, or prior external beam or implant radiation therapy involving the skeleton.
Cumulative use of Tymlos and parathyroid hormone analogs (e.g., teriparatide) for more than 2 years during a patient’s lifetime is not recommended.
Orthostatic HypotensionOrthostatic hypotension may occur with Tymlos, typically within 4 hours of injection. Associated symptoms may include dizziness, palpitations, tachycardia or nausea, and may resolve by having the patient lie down. For the first several doses, Tymlos should be administered where the patient can sit or lie down if necessary [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
HypercalcemiaTymlos may cause hypercalcemia. Tymlos is not recommended in patients with pre-existing hypercalcemia or in patients who have an underlying hypercalcemic disorder, such as primary hyperparathyroidism, because of the possibility of exacerbating hypercalcemia [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Hypercalciuria and UrolithiasisTymlos may cause hypercalciuria. It is unknown whether Tymlos may exacerbate urolithiasis in patients with active or a history of urolithiasis. If active urolithiasis or pre-existing hypercalciuria is suspected, measurement of urinary calcium excretion should be considered [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Adverse ReactionsThe following adverse reactions are described in greater detail in other sections:
· Orthostatic Hypotension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
· Hypercalcemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]
· Hypercalciuria and Urolithiasis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]
Clinical Trials ExperienceBecause clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis
The safety of Tymlos was evaluated in a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis aged 49 to 86 years (mean age 69 years) who were randomized to receive 80 mcg of Tymlos (N = 824) or placebo (N = 821), given subcutaneously once daily for 18 months [see Clinical Studies (14)].
In this study, the incidence of all-cause mortality was 0.4% in the Tymlos group and 0.6% in the placebo group. The incidence of serious adverse events was 10% in the Tymlos group and 11% in the placebo group. The percentage of patients who discontinued study drug due to adverse events was 10% in the Tymlos group and 6% in the placebo group. The most common adverse reactions leading to study drug discontinuation in the Tymlos group were nausea (2%), dizziness (1%), headache (1%), and palpitations (1%).
Table 1 shows the most common adverse reactions in the trial. These adverse reactions were generally not present at baseline, occurred more commonly with Tymlos than with placebo, and occurred in at least 2% of the patients treated with Tymlos.

Orthostatic Hypotension
In the clinical trial of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, the incidence of orthostatic blood pressure decline ≥20 mmHg systolic or ≥10 mmHg diastolic at 1 hour after the first injection was 4% in the Tymlos group and 3% in the placebo group. At later time points the incidence was generally similar between the treatment groups. Adverse reactions of orthostatic hypotension were reported in 1% of patients receiving Tymlos and 0.5% of patients receiving placebo. Dizziness was reported by more Tymlos-treated patients (10%) compared to placebo (6%) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
Tachycardia
In women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, adverse reactions of tachycardia, including sinus tachycardia, were reported in 2% of patients receiving Tymlos and 1% of patients in the placebo group. In 5 of the 13 patients receiving Tymlos who experienced tachycardia, symptoms occurred within 1 hour of administration. Tymlos has been associated with a dose-dependent increase in heart rate which developed within 15 minutes after injection and resolved in about 6 hours [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].
Injection Site Reactions
During the first month of the trial, injection site reactions were assessed daily one-hour after injection. Tymlos had a higher incidence than placebo of injection site redness (58% vs. 28%), edema (10% vs. 3%) and pain (9% vs. 7%). Severe redness, severe edema, and severe pain were reported among 2.9%, 0.4%, and 0.4% of the Tymlos-treated patients.
Laboratory Abnormalities
Hypercalcemia
In the clinical trial of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, Tymlos caused increases in serum calcium concentrations [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. The incidence of hypercalcemia, defined as albumin-corrected serum calcium ≥10.7 mg/dL at 4 hours following injection at any visit was 3% in Tymlos-treated patients and 0.1% with placebo. Pre-dose serum calcium was similar to baseline in both groups. There were 2 (0.2%) Tymlos-treated patients and no placebo-treated patients who discontinued from the study due to hypercalcemia. The incidence of hypercalcemia with Tymlos was higher in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (4%) compared to patients with normal renal function (1%).
Increases in Serum Uric Acid
Tymlos increased serum uric acid concentrations. In the postmenopausal osteoporosis trial, among patients with normal baseline uric acid concentrations, 25% of patients in the Tymlos group and 6% of patients in the placebo group had at least one post-baseline concentration above the normal range. The hyperuricemia observed in Tymlos-treated patients was not associated with an increase in adverse reactions of gout or arthralgia over that observed with placebo.
Hypercalciuria and Urolithiasis
In the clinical trial of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, the overall incidence of urine calcium:creatinine ratio >400 mg/g was higher with Tymlos than with placebo (20% vs 15%, respectively). Urolithiases were reported in 2.1% of Tymlos-treated patients and 1.7% of placebo-treated patients.
Adverse Reactions from the Extension Study in Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis
Following 18 months of treatment with Tymlos or placebo, 1139 women transitioned to treatment with alendronate 70 mg administered orally once weekly. The incidence of adverse events occurring during alendronate treatment was similar in patients with prior placebo or Tymlos therapy [see Clinical Studies (14)].
ImmunogenicityAs with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to Tymlos in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other products may be misleading.
Of the patients receiving Tymlos for 18 months, 49% (300/610) developed anti-abaloparatide antibodies, of these, 68% (201/297) developed neutralizing antibodies to abaloparatide. Of the patients with anti-abaloparatide antibodies tested for cross-reactivity, 2.3% (7/298) developed cross-reactivity to PTHrP, 43% (3/7) developed neutralizing antibodies to PTHrP, and 0% (0/298) developed cross-reactive antibodies to PTH. Antibody formation did not appear to have any clinically significant impact on safety or efficacy endpoints, including bone mineral density (BMD) response, fracture reduction, immune-related hypersensitivity or allergic reactions, or other adverse events.
Most of the patients with anti-abaloparatide antibodies during treatment with Tymlos, 85% (256/300), had follow-up antibody measurements six months after completion of Tymlos therapy. Among these patients, 56% (143/256) remained antibody positive.
Drug InteractionsNo specific drug-drug interaction studies have been performed [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONSPregnancy
Risk Summary
Tymlos is not indicated for use in females of reproductive potential. There are no human data with Tymlos use in pregnant women to inform any drug associated risks. Animal reproduction studies with abaloparatide have not been conducted.
Risk Summary
Tymlos is not indicated for use in females of reproductive potential. There is no information on the presence of abaloparatide in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production.
Safety and effectiveness of Tymlos have not been established in pediatric patients. Tymlos is not recommended for use in pediatric patients with open epiphyses or hereditary disorders predisposing to osteosarcoma because of an increased baseline risk of osteosarcoma [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Geriatric UseOf the total number of patients in the postmenopausal osteoporosis clinical studies of Tymlos, 82% were age 65 years and over, and 19% were age 75 years and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.
Renal ImpairmentNo dosage adjustment is required for patients with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment. A study of a single dose of Tymlos 80 mcg given subcutaneously was conducted in subjects with normal renal function or mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment. The maximal concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of abaloparatide increased 1.4- and 2.1-fold, respectively, in subjects with severe renal impairment, compared to subjects with normal renal function. Patients with severe renal impairment may have increased abaloparatide exposure that may increase the risk of adverse reactions; therefore, monitor for adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
OverdosageIn a clinical study, accidental overdose was reported in a patient who received 400 mcg in one day (5 times the recommended clinical dose); dosing was temporarily interrupted. The patient experienced asthenia, headache, nausea, and vertigo. Serum calcium was not assessed on the day of the overdose, but on the following day the patient’s serum calcium was within the normal range. The effects of overdose may include hypercalcemia, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, tachycardia, orthostatic hypotension, and headache.
Overdosage Management
There is no specific antidote for Tymlos. Treatment of suspected overdose should include discontinuation of Tymlos, monitoring of serum calcium and phosphorus, and implementation of appropriate supportive measures, such as hydration. Based on the molecular weight, plasma protein binding and volume of distribution, abaloparatide is not expected to be dialyzable.
Tymlos injection for subcutaneous administration contains abaloparatide, a synthetic 34 amino acid peptide. Abaloparatide is an analog of human parathyroid hormone related peptide, PTHrP(1-34). It has 41% homology to hPTH(1-34) (human parathyroid hormone 1-34) and 76% homology to hPTHrP(1-34) (human parathyroid hormone-related peptide 1-34).
Abaloparatide has a molecular formula of C174 H300 N56 O49 and a molecular weight of 3961 daltons with the amino acid sequence shown below:
Ala-Val-Ser-Glu-His-Gln-Leu-Leu-His-Asp-Lys-Gly-Lys-Ser-Ile-Gln-Asp-Leu-Arg-Arg-Arg-Glu-Leu-Leu-Glu-Lys-Leu-Leu-Aib-Lys-Leu-His-Thr-Ala-NH2
Tymlos injection is supplied as a sterile, colorless, clear solution in a glass cartridge which is pre-assembled into a disposable single-patient-use pen. The pen is intended to deliver 30 once daily abaloparatide doses of 80 mcg in 40 mcL. Each cartridge contains 1.56 mL of Tymlos solution. Each mL contains 2000 mcg abaloparatide and the following inactive ingredients: 5 mg phenol, 5.08 mg sodium acetate trihydrate, 6.38 mg acetic acid, and water for injection.
Tymlos - Clinical PharmacologyMechanism of ActionAbaloparatide is a PTHrP(1-34) analog which acts as an agonist at the PTH1 receptor (PTH1R). This results in activation of the cAMP signaling pathway in target cells. In rats and monkeys, abaloparatide had an anabolic effect on bone, demonstrated by increases in BMD and bone mineral content (BMC) that correlated with increases in bone strength at vertebral and/or nonvertebral sites [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.2)].
PharmacodynamicsEffects on Markers of Bone Turnover
A dose-finding study of abaloparatide administered once daily for 24 weeks demonstrated a dose-response relationship for BMD and bone formation markers.
Daily administration of Tymlos to postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in clinical studies increased the bone formation marker serum procollagen type I N-propeptide (PINP). The increase in PINP levels peaked at Month 1 at 93% above baseline then decreased slowly over time. The increase in PINP was maintained above baseline throughout the treatment duration. At Month 18, PINP concentrations were approximately 45% above baseline. The increase in the bone resorption marker serum collagen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide (sCTX) peaked at Month 3 at 43% above baseline then decreased to 20% above baseline by Month 18.
Cardiac Electrophysiology
A 4-way cross-over thorough QT/QTc study was conducted in 55 healthy subjects who received single doses of placebo, subcutaneous doses of abaloparatide at 80 mcg and 240 mcg (three times the recommended dose), and moxifloxacin 400 mg orally. Abaloparatide increased heart rate, with a mean peak increase of 15 beats per minute (bpm) and 20 bpm at the first time point (15 minutes) after dosing with 80 mcg and 240 mcg, respectively. There were no clinically meaningful effects of abaloparatide on QTcI (individually corrected QT intervals) or cardiac electrophysiology.
PharmacokineticsFollowing seven days of subcutaneous administration of abaloparatide 80 mcg, the mean (SD) abaloparatide exposure was 812 (118) pg/mL for Cmax and 1622 (641) pg·hr/mL for AUC0-24.
Figure 1 below shows the mean (SD) abaloparatide pharmacokinetic profile in postmenopausal women (N = 8) on Day 7.
Figure 1. Mean Abaloparatide Pharmacokinetic Profile in Postmenopausal Women on Day 7
Absorption
The median (range) time to peak concentration of abaloparatide 80 mcg was 0.51 hr (0.25 to 0.52 hr) following subcutaneous administration. The absolute bioavailability of abaloparatide in healthy women after subcutaneous administration of an 80 mcg dose was 36%.
Distribution
The in vitro plasma protein binding of abaloparatide was approximately 70%. The volume of distribution was approximately 50 L.
Elimination
The mean (SD) half-life of abaloparatide is 1.7 (0.7) hrs. The peptide fragments are primarily eliminated through renal excretion.
Metabolism
No specific metabolism or excretion studies have been performed with Tymlos. The metabolism of abaloparatide is consistent with non-specific proteolytic degradation into smaller peptide fragments, followed by elimination by renal clearance.
Specific Populations
Geriatric Patients
No age-related differences in abaloparatide pharmacokinetics were observed in postmenopausal women ranging from 49 to 86 years of age.
Race
No differences in abaloparatide pharmacokinetics based on race were observed in clinical trials.
Patients with Renal Impairment
A single 80 mcg subcutaneous dose of abaloparatide was administered to male and female patients with renal impairment: 8 patients with mild renal impairment (CLCr 60 to 89 mL/min), 7 patients with moderate renal impairment (CLCr 30 to 59 mL/min), 8 patients with severe renal impairment (CLCr 15 to 29 mL/min), and 8 healthy subjects with normal renal function (CLCr 90 or greater mL/min) matched by sex, age, and body mass index (BMI). Abaloparatide Cmax increased 1.0-, 1.3-, and 1.4-fold in patients with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment, compared to the healthy subjects with normal renal function. Abaloparatide AUC increased 1.2-, 1.7-, and 2.1-fold in patients with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment, compared to the healthy subjects with normal renal function. Patients undergoing dialysis were not included in the study.
Drug Interactions
In vitro studies showed that abaloparatide, at therapeutic concentrations, does not inhibit or induce Cytochrome P450 enzymes.
Nonclinical ToxicologyCarcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of FertilityIn a 2-year carcinogenicity study, abaloparatide was administered once daily to male and female Fischer rats by subcutaneous injection at doses of 10, 25, and 50 mcg/kg. These doses resulted in systemic exposures to abaloparatide that were 4, 16, and 28 times, respectively, the systemic exposure observed in humans following the recommended subcutaneous dose of 80 mcg (based on AUC comparisons). Neoplastic changes related to treatment with abaloparatide consisted of marked dose-dependent increases in osteosarcoma and osteoblastoma incidence in all male and female dose groups. The incidence of osteosarcoma was 0-2% in untreated controls and reached 87% and 62% in male and female high-dose groups, respectively. The bone neoplasms were accompanied by marked increases in bone mass.
The relevance of the rat findings to humans is uncertain. The use of Tymlos is not recommended in patients at increased risk of osteosarcoma [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Abaloparatide was not genotoxic or mutagenic in a standard battery of tests including the Ames test for bacterial mutagenesis, the chromosome aberration test using human peripheral lymphocytes, and the mouse micronucleus test.
Animal Toxicology and PharmacologyIn toxicity studies in rats and monkeys of up to 26-week and 39-week duration, respectively, findings included vasodilation, increases in serum calcium, decreases in serum phosphorus, and soft tissue mineralization at doses ≥10 mcg/kg/day. The 10 mcg/kg/day dose resulted in systemic exposures to abaloparatide in rats and monkeys that were 2 and 3 times, respectively, the exposure in humans at daily subcutaneous doses of 80 mcg.
Pharmacologic effects of abaloparatide on the skeleton were assessed in 12- and 16-month studies in ovariectomized (OVX) rats and monkeys, at doses up to 11 and 1 times human exposure at the recommended subcutaneous dose of 80 mcg, respectively (based on AUC comparisons). In these animal models of postmenopausal osteoporosis, treatment with abaloparatide resulted in dose-dependent increases in bone mass at vertebral and/or nonvertebral sites, correlating with increases in bone strength. The anabolic effect of abaloparatide was due to the predominant increase in osteoblastic bone formation and was evidenced by increases in trabecular thickness and/or cortical thickness due to endosteal bone apposition. Abaloparatide maintained or improved bone quality at all skeletal sites evaluated and did not cause any mineralization defects.
Clinical Studies
Efficacy Study in Women with Postmenopausal Osteoporosis
The efficacy of Tymlos for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis was evaluated in Study 003 (NCT 01343004), an 18-month, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in postmenopausal women aged 49 to 86 years (mean age of 69) who were randomized to receive Tymlos 80 mcg (N = 824) or placebo (N = 821) given subcutaneously once daily. Approximately 80% of patients were Caucasian, 16% were Asian, and 3% were Black; 24% were Hispanic. At baseline, the mean T-scores were -2.9 at the lumbar spine, -2.1 at the femoral neck, and -1.9 at the total hip. At baseline, 24% of patients had at least one prevalent vertebral fracture and 48% had at least one prior nonvertebral fracture. Patients took daily supplemental calcium (500 to 1000 mg) and vitamin D (400 to 800 IU).
The efficacy study was extended as Study 005 (NCT 01657162), an open-label study where patients were no longer receiving Tymlos or placebo but were maintained in their original randomized treatment group and received 70 mg alendronate weekly, with calcium and vitamin D supplements for 6 months. Study 005 enrolled 1139 patients, representing 92% of patients who completed Study 003. This included 558 patients who had previously received Tymlos and 581 patients who had previously received placebo. The cumulative 25-month efficacy dataset included 18 months of exposure to Tymlos or placebo in Study 003, 1 month of no treatment, followed by 6 months of alendronate therapy in Study 005.
Effect on New Vertebral Fractures
The primary endpoint was the incidence of new vertebral fractures in patients treated with Tymlos compared to placebo. Tymlos resulted in a significant reduction in the incidence of new vertebral fractures compared to placebo at 18 months (0.6% Tymlos compared to 4.2% placebo, p ˂0.0001). The absolute risk reduction in new vertebral fractures was 3.6% at 18 months and the relative risk reduction was 86% for Tymlos compared to placebo (Table 2). The incidence of new vertebral fractures at 25 months was 0.6% in patients treated with Tymlos then alendronate, compared to 4.4% in patients treated with placebo then alendronate (p ˂0.0001). The relative risk reduction in new vertebral fractures at 25 months was 87% for patients treated with Tymlos then alendronate, compared to patients treated with placebo then alendronate, and the absolute risk reduction was 3.9% (Table 2).

Effect on Nonvertebral Fractures
Tymlos resulted in a significant reduction in the incidence of nonvertebral fractures at the end of the 18 months of treatment plus 1 month follow-up where no drug was administered (2.7% for Tymlos-treated patients compared to 4.7% for placebo-treated patients). The relative risk reduction in nonvertebral fractures for Tymlos compared to placebo was 43% (logrank test p = 0.049) and the absolute risk reduction was 2.0%.
Following 6 months of alendronate treatment in Study 005, the cumulative incidence of nonvertebral fractures at 25 months was 2.7% for women in the prior Tymlos group compared to 5.6% for women in the prior placebo group (Figure 2). At 25 months, the relative risk reduction in nonvertebral fractures was 52% (logrank test p = 0.017) and the absolute risk reduction was 2.9%.

† Includes patients randomized in Study 003
Tymlos demonstrated consistent reductions in the risk of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures regardless of age, years since menopause, presence or absence of prior fracture (vertebral, nonvertebral) and BMD at baseline.
Effect on Bone Mineral Density (BMD)
Treatment with Tymlos for 18 months in Study 003 resulted in significant increases in BMD compared to placebo at the lumbar spine, total hip and femoral neck, each with p<0.0001 (Table 3). Similar findings were seen following 6 months of alendronate treatment in Study 005 (Table 3).

Tymlos demonstrated consistent increases in BMD regardless of age, years since menopause, race, ethnicity, geographic region, presence or absence of prior fracture (vertebral, nonvertebral), and BMD at baseline.
Effect on Bone Histology
Bone biopsy specimens were obtained from 71 patients with osteoporosis after 12 – 18 months of treatment (36 in the Tymlos group and 35 in the placebo group). Of the biopsies obtained, 55 were adequate for quantitative histomorphometry assessment (27 in the Tymlos group and 28 in the placebo group). Qualitative and quantitative histology assessment showed normal bone architecture and no evidence of woven bone, marrow fibrosis, or mineralization defects.

· Do not freeze or subject to heat.
Patient Counseling InformationAdvise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide and Instructions for Use).
Risk of Osteosarcoma
Advise patients that the active ingredient in Tymlos, abaloparatide, caused a dose-dependent increase in the incidence of osteosarcoma in male and female rats and that it is unknown whether Tymlos will cause osteosarcoma in humans [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Instruct patients to promptly report signs and symptoms of possible osteosarcoma such as persistent localized pain or occurrence of a new soft tissue mass that is tender to palpation.

Step 1. Wash and dry your hands.
Step 2. Check the expiration date (Exp.) on the Tymlos pen.
· Do not use the pen if the expiration date has passed.
· Call your healthcare provider or pharmacist if the expiration date has passed.
Attach pen needle to your Tymlos pen
Step 3. Pull off the pen cap from your Tymlos pen. (See Figure D.)
· Check the Tymlos cartridge. The liquid should be clear, colorless, and free of particles; if not, do not use.
Step 4. Pull off the protective paper from the outer needle cap of your pen needle. (See Figure E.)
Step 5. Keep the needle straight and screw it onto the pen until fixed; a secure fit is ensured even if there is no noticeable stop. Do not over-tighten. (See Figure F.)
Step 6. Pull off the outer pen needle cap from the pen needle and keep it to use after your injection. (See Figure G.)
Step 7. Carefully pull off the inner pen needle cap and dispose of it. (See Figure H.)
Step 8. If you are using this pen for the first time, go to the “New pen setup - Day 1 Only” section to prime your pen.
· If you have already used this pen before, go to Step 13 for Days 2 through 30.
New pen setup – Day 1 Only (Priming your Tymlos pen)
Do not repeat new pen setup on Days 2 through 30.
Step 9. The “New pen setup” removes air bubbles (primes your pen). You only need to prime your pen on Day 1 for each new pen. Otherwise, you will waste medicine.
· Skip Steps 10 through 12 on Days 2 through 30.
Step 10. Turn the dose knob on your Tymlos pen away from you (clockwise) until it stops. (See Figure I.)
Note: You will see “ • 80 ” lined up in the dose display window.
Step 11. Hold the Tymlos pen with the pen needle pointing up. Tap lightly with your finger on the cartridge holder to move any air bubbles in the cartridge to the top of the cartridge. (See Figure J.)
Note: Do Step 11 even if you do not see air bubbles.
Step 12. Press the green injection button until it will not go any further. (See Figure K).
Note: You should see liquid come out of the needle tip.
Note: You will see “•0” lined up in the dose display window.
What should I do if liquid does not come out of the needle tip?
· If you do not see a drop of Tymlos, repeat Steps 10 through 12. A drop of liquid should come out of the needle tip.
· If you still do not see a drop of liquid call your healthcare provider or pharmacist and use a new Tymlos pen.
· When you are ready to use your new Tymlos pen for the first time, remember to repeat all Steps 9 through 12 to prime your new Tymlos pen.
Set the dose on your Tymlos pen
Do not push the green injection button while setting your dose.
Step 13. Turn the dose knob on your pen away from you (clockwise) until the dose knob stops and “•80” is lined up in the dose display window. (See Figure L.)
If you set the dose before you are ready to give your injection, turn the dose knob toward you (counter-clockwise) until “•0” is in the dose display window.
If you are not able to set the Tymlos pen to “•80”, dispose of the pen and use a new Tymlos pen for your injection, repeating Steps 1 through 13.
· If the pen cannot be set to “•80”, there is not enough medicine in the Tymlos pen for your full dose. See “How should I throw away (dispose) of the pen needles and Tymlos pens?” on the other side.
Choose and clean your injection site
Step 14. Injections should be given in the lower stomach area (abdomen). (See Figure M.) Avoid the 2-inch area around your belly button (navel).
For each injection, change (rotate) your injection site around your abdomen. Talk to your healthcare provider about how to change (rotate) your injection site for each injection. Do not use the same injection area for each injection. Do not inject into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red, scaly, or hard. Avoid areas with scars or stretch marks.
Step 15. Wipe the injection site with an alcohol swab and allow it to dry. Do not touch, fan, or blow on the injection site after you have cleaned it.
Giving your Tymlos pen injection
Read Step 16 and Step 17 before you give your injection.
Inject your Tymlos pen the way your healthcare provider has shown you.

· Press the green injection button until it cannot go any further and “•0” is in the dose display window. Do not move the Tymlos pen after inserting the needle.
· Continue to press the green injection button while counting to 10. Counting to 10 will allow the full dose of Tymlos to be given.
Step 18. After counting to 10, release your finger from the green injection button and slowly remove the Tymlos pen from the injection site by pulling the pen needle straight out.
Remove the pen needle
Step 19. Carefully place the outer needle cap back on the pen needle. Press on the outer needle cap until it snaps into place and is secure. (See Figure P.)
Caution: To prevent needle stick injury, carefully follow Step 20.
Step 20. Unscrew the capped needle (like unscrewing a cap from a bottle). To unscrew the capped needle you may need to turn it 8 or more turns and then gently pull until the capped needle comes off. (See Figure Q.)
Note: Do not push on the outer needle cap while unscrewing the needle. You should see a gap widening between the outer needle cap and the pen as you unscrew the needle. (See Figure R.)

Step 21. Firmly replace the pen cap onto the Tymlos pen. (See Figure S.)
Keep the pen cap on your Tymlos pen between injections.
After your injection
Step 22. Press a cotton ball or gauze pad over the injection site and hold for 10 seconds. Do not rub the injection site. You may have slight bleeding. This is normal.
