What strain of rats was used in the teriparatide rat study?

A

Fischer 344 rats were tested at all dose levels 5,30,75 mcg/kg. A more recent study in Japan itch Sprague-Dawley strain of rats also described a dose- and time- dependent induction of osteosarcoma following treatment for 2 years. However lower doses were evaluated 1.5, 4.5, 13.6, mcg/kg. these authors identified a 4.5 dose as non-carcinogenic. A 5mcg dose resulted in a 5-7 incidence (Vahle et al, 2002)

92
Q

NATPARA rat study

A

A Fischer 344 rat study also suggested osteosarcoma but unlike teriparatide an increase in osteosarcoma was not observed at the lowest dose. (NOEL)

93
Q

What are the terminal regions for 1-84

A

N-terminal (teriparatide) and C-terminal.

95
Q

What doses were used in the NATPARA carc study?

A

Daily subcutaneous injection of 0, 10, 50 and 100 mcg/hg/day for 2 years. Corresponding AUC values averaged 4.6 to 66 times higher than PM women taking the 100 mcg dose. (Label says 3 times to 71)

96
Q

A

Dose and duration of treatment.(Vahle et al 2004)

Q

Label: Limitations of use

A

Because the potential risk of osteosarcoma, NATPARA is recommended only for patients who cannot be well-controlled on calcium and active forms of vitamin D alone.

108
Q

Label: Black Box

A

In male and female rats, parathyroid hormone caused an increase in the incidence of osteosarcoma (a malignant bone tumor). The occurance of osteosarcoma was dependent on parathyroid hormone dose and treatment duration.

A

This effect was observed at parathyroid hormone exposure levels ranging from 3 to 71 times the exposure levels in humans receiving a 100 mcg dose of NATPARA.
