General Safety and Tolerability of Subcutaneous Tanezumab for Osteoarthritis: A Pooled Analysis of Three Randomized, Placebo‐Controlled Trials
OBJECTIVE: This pooled analysis of 3 randomized, placebo‐controlled trials (16–24 week treatment and 8–24 week follow‐up) assessed safety of subcutaneous tanezumab (2.5–10 mg every 8 weeks) in 1,840 patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis. METHODS: Overall treatment‐emergent adverse events (TEAEs)...

Sumario: | OBJECTIVE: This pooled analysis of 3 randomized, placebo‐controlled trials (16–24 week treatment and 8–24 week follow‐up) assessed safety of subcutaneous tanezumab (2.5–10 mg every 8 weeks) in 1,840 patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis. METHODS: Overall treatment‐emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and TEAEs of abnormal peripheral sensation (APS) were prospectively assessed in 3 trials. Joint safety events (primary osteonecrosis, rapidly progressive osteoarthritis [RPOA], subchondral insufficiency fracture, and pathologic fracture; adjudicated by an independent expert committee) and TEAEs potentially associated with sympathetic neuropathy were prospectively assessed in 2 trials. RESULTS: During the treatment period, overall TEAE rates were 51.7% for placebo and 39.5–54.8% for tanezumab 2.5–10 mg; treatment discontinuation rates were 2.0% for placebo and 0–1.3% for tanezumab. Rates of composite joint safety events (predominantly RPOA type 1) over the treatment plus follow‐up period were 0% for placebo and 0.5–3.2% for tanezumab 2.5–5 mg (5 mg was statistically greater than placebo); total joint replacement rates with tanezumab (5.9–7.0%) were not significantly different from placebo (4.5%). Rates of TEAEs of APS (predominantly paresthesia and hypoesthesia) were 2.2% for placebo and 3.2–12.8% for tanezumab 2.5–10 mg. Rates of TEAEs potentially associated with sympathetic neuropathy (predominantly bradycardia and orthostatic hypotension) were 0.8% for placebo and 0.5–2.8% for tanezumab 2.5–5 mg (exposure‐adjusted rates were not significantly different from placebo). CONCLUSION: Tanezumab was generally well tolerated. TEAEs of APS (mostly mild and transient) and joint safety events were infrequent but more common with tanezumab than placebo. A tanezumab dose of 2.5 mg demonstrated a more favorable safety profile than higher doses. |
