About this study

Official title: A Retrospective, Observational Cohort Study Evaluating the Effectiveness and Cardiovascular Safety of Abaloparatide in Postmenopausal Women New to Anabolic Therapies

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the real-world effectiveness and cardiovascular safety of ABL compared with TPTD during the 18-month period after treatment initiation in propensity score (PS)-matched cohorts

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective observational cohort study using healthcare administrative claims data from the USA.

This study will use anonymized patient claims data from PRA's Symphony Health Patient Source Integrated Dataverse (IDV) database including the enhanced hospital data. Data are routinely collected in healthcare encounters from all available healthcare sites (inpatient hospital, outpatient hospital, physician office, pharmacy, etc.) for all types of provided services including specialty, preventive care, and office-based treatments.

The patients for inclusion in the study analyses will be identified based on the prescribed anabolic therapy filled (ABL or TPTD). The identification period (May 1, 2017 to June 30, 2019) was chosen to coincide with the date of the FDA approval of ABL in the USA.

Being tested
Abaloparatide, Teriparatide

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • AbaloparatideDrug

    Also called Tymlos

    Abaloparatide subcutaneous (abaloparatide SC [ABL]; Tymlos®)

  • TeriparatideDrug

    Also called Forteo

    Teriparatide subcutaneous (TPTD; Forteo®)

Study groups in NCT04974723
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients Treated with AbaloparatidePatients who filled ≥ 1 prescription for ABL (TYMLOS) as their index medication during the identification period.
Receives: Drug: Abaloparatide
Patients Treated with TeriparatidePatients who filled ≥ 1 prescription for TPTD (Forteo) as their index medication during the identification period.
Receives: Drug: Teriparatide

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With a Nonvertebral Fracture

    A nonvertebral fracture is any fragility fracture at the hip, pelvis, femur, ankle, shoulder (including shoulder, humerus, clavicle), radius/ulna, wrist, or tibia/fibula. The date of the first prescription claim for either abaloparatide or teriparatide during the identification period was considered the index date. A claims-based algorithm with high specificity for fracture site was used to identify osteoporosis related fractures. Patients were followed for up to 18 months after their index date, plus 30 days follow-up or until their first nonvertebral fracture event or hospital death, whichever came first.

    Measured: From index date up to 19 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants With Composite Endpoint of Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction (MI), Nonfatal Stroke, or In-hospital Cardiovascular Death

    Cardiovascular safety was evaluated based only on events occurring from the beginning of the index period through 19 months. The date of the first prescription claim for either abaloparatide or teriparatide during the identification period was considered the index date. Cardiovascular events (MI and stroke) were defined as the first post-index incidence recorded on a hospital claim or physician claim. A validated claims-based algorithm was used to identify deaths, based on hospital discharge status, that are likely to be caused by cardiovascular events. Patients were followed for up to 18 months while on treatment plus 30 days follow-up, or until their first cardiovascular event (MI or stroke) or hospital death, whichever came first.

    Measured: From index date up to 19 months

  2. Number of Participants With a Composite Endpoint of Nonfatal MI, Nonfatal Stroke, Heart Failure or In-hospital Cardiovascular Death

    Cardiovascular safety was evaluated based only on events occurring from the beginning of the index period through 19 months. The date of the first prescription claim for either abaloparatide or teriparatide during the identification period was considered the index date. Cardiovascular events (MI, stroke, and heart failure) were defined as the first post-index incidence recorded on a hospital claim or physician claim. A validated claims-based algorithm was used to identify deaths, based on hospital discharge status, that are likely to be caused by cardiovascular events. Patients were followed for up to 18 months while on treatment plus 30 days follow-up, or until their first cardiovascular event (MI, stroke, or heart failure) or hospital death, whichever came first.

    Measured: From index date up to 19 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal, run by Radius Health, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With a Nonvertebral Fracture (time frame: From index date up to 19 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04974723, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Apr 2024.
