HORIZON-PFT Study 2301 Slide Library V3 1-May-07 CONFIDENTIAL HORIZON-PFT Slide Library - Osteoporosis: Summary The hallmark of osteoporosis is microarchitectural degeneration of bone tissue 1,2 The rate of bone resorption exceeds the rate of bone formation in older adults, particularly in postmenopausal women Osteoporosis results from this imbalance between bone resorption and formation Bone mass is lost, density is reduced, and bones become fragile, thin and brittle In the year 2000, there were an estimated 9.0 million osteoporotic fractures of which 1.4 million were clinical vertebral fractures, 1.6 million were at the hip, and 1.7 million at the forearm 3 The majority of these osteoporotic fractures occurred in Europe (34.8% of the total) 4 Osteoporosis is a major public health threat with serious clinical consequences. The disease places a significant burden on society in terms of public health, healthcare resources, direct medical costs such as surgical procedures, and indirect medical costs such as lost productivity 5–8 Of the many available treatments for osteoporosis, bisphosphonates are the choice for first-line therapy in most countries worldwide References Eastell R.

Zoledronic Acid Reduced 3-Year Risk of Vertebral Fractures (by Geographic Region) ZOL 5 mg produced significant reductions in vertebral fracture risk in patients in all geographic regions studied (54% to 84% reduction). Because there were a small number of events and confidence intervals wide one can not draw conclusions about the staistical significance, however, the general trends reflect the primary efficacy results. Within-subgroup P-values are based on logistic regression with treatment, baseline fracture status in the model using log-likelihood type approach. Reference Cauley J, Black D, Boonen S, et al. Effect of zoledronic acid (ZOL) 5 mg on fracture risk by age and geographic region in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis: results from HORIZON-PFT [abstract].

Mean Serum β-CTX Over Time Reductions in serum β-CTX levels over time were similar to those observed for urine NTX, with zoledronic acid resulting in significantly greater reductions in serum β-CTX levels at all postbaseline time points compared with alendronate. At Week 24, mean β-CTX was within the premenopausal reference range (0.117 – 0.606 ng/mL [Synarc, Lyon, France]) in the alendronate group and slightly below the reference range in the zoledronic acid group (mean 0.114, SE = 0.011).

A single zoledronic acid infusion reduces bone resorption markers more rapidly than weekly oral alendronate in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density. Bone . 2007;40:1238-1243.
Summary Switching patients who had been treated with oral alendronate 70 mg for an average of 4 years to a single dose of IV zoledronic acid 5 mg resulted in persistence of the inhibition of bone remodeling and stability of BMD in a very similar range as if they had remained on alendronate therapy. The switch from oral to IV therapy was well tolerated, and the overall frequency of AEs was comparable in both groups. The majority of patients in both treatment groups expressed preference for once yearly infusion over weekly oral therapy. An annual infusion would ensure adherence for a full 12 months, and the maintenance of BMD seen 12 months after a single infusion of zoledronic acid 5 mg supports its use in women who have previously been treated with oral alendronate.
