The Effects of Denosumab on the Pharmacokinetics of Etanercept in Postmenopausal Women With Low Bone Mineral Density and Rheumatoid Arthritis

The primary objective of the study was to characterize the effects of a single dose of denosumab on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of etanercept in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density (BMD) and rheumatoid arthritis based on area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximum observed serum concentration (Cmax).

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Postmenopausal women (postmenopausal is defined as no vaginal bleeding or spotting for at least 12 months)
  • Low bone mineral density (BMD) as determined by screening BMD T-scores of the lumbar spine (L1 to L4), or total evaluable vertebrae (if fewer than L1 to L4), or total hip ≤ -1.0
  • Receiving a 50 mg dose of etanercept once weekly ≥ 6 months prior to screening and expected to continue etanercept treatment at this dose and frequency through end of study (EOS)
  • If currently taking methotrexate (MTX), receiving a stable dose (7.5 to 20 mg/week) of MTX ≥ 8 weeks prior to screening
  • Willing and able to take ≥ 1,000 mg elemental calcium and ≥ 400 IU vitamin D daily upon enrollment

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Type 1 diabetes; OR poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes (hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) > 8.0% at screening; HbA1c ≤ 8.0% within 6 months of screening is acceptable if supporting laboratory documentation is available)
  • History of heart failure, coronary artery bypass graft, or cardiac arrhythmia; OR history of acute coronary syndrome
  • Comorbid autoimmune disease, demyelinating disease, or hematologic abnormalities
  • History of joint replacement in hand and/or wrist; OR history of fused joint in hand and/or wrist
  • Prior history or current evidence of osteonecrosis/osteomyelitis of the jaw; OR active dental or jaw condition that requires oral surgery, or non-healed dental/oral surgery; OR planned invasive dental procedure(s) during the course of the study
  • Previous exposure to denosumab

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve From 0 to 168 Hours (AUC0-168) for Etanercept
Time Frame: Day 1 and day 22; at each time point samples were taken predose and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 days postdose.
The AUC0-168 of etanercept was measured when administered alone (assessed from day 1) and after administration with denosumab (assessed from day 22, 14 days after denosumab dosing, close to the time of the maximum observed denosumab serum concentration and corresponding to a time approximately 1 week after maximal pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of denosumab are attained).
Day 1 and day 22; at each time point samples were taken predose and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 days postdose.
Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of Etanercept
Time Frame: Day 1 and day 22; at each time point samples were taken predose and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 days postdose.
Day 1 and day 22; at each time point samples were taken predose and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 days postdose.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Time to Maximum Serum Concentration (Tmax) of Etanercept
Time Frame: Day 1 and day 22; at each time point samples were taken predose and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 days postdose.
Day 1 and day 22; at each time point samples were taken predose and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 days postdose.
Serum Denosumab Concentration
Time Frame: Prior to etanercept and denosumab dose administrations, as applicable, on days 8, 22, and 29
Prior to etanercept and denosumab dose administrations, as applicable, on days 8, 22, and 29
Percent Change From Baseline in Serum C-telopeptide (sCTx) Concentrations
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 8) and Days 22, 29, 85, and 176
Baseline (Day 8) and Days 22, 29, 85, and 176
