Abaloparatide • Abaloparatide is a novel synthetic peptide analogue of PTHrP • Retains anabolic activity with decreased bone resorption, less calcium-mobilizing potential, and improved room temperature stability compared with teriparatide • Studies performed in animals have demonstrated marked bone anabolic activity of abaloparatide with complete reversal of bone loss in ovariectomy-induced osteopenic rats and monkeys

JBMR – January 2017
Addressing the Current Crisis in Osteoporosis Treatment • New drug development to circumvent AFF • The Biomarkers Consortium-Bone Quality Project is attempting to qualify a surrogate marker for fracture prediction to be used in clinical trials, obviating the need for multiple large randomized trials with fracture as an endpoint • If such a surrogate marker is approved for osteoporosis drug development, this will provide a financial incentive to bring new drugs to market
Late-breaking News – May 21, 2017 – ARCH Study • Subcutaneous romosozumab for 12 mths followed by alendronate for 12 mths vs. alendronate for 2 yrs • 50% RR reduction in vertebral fractures and 27% RR reduction in clinical fractures at 2 yrs ( both primary study end-points) • 19% reduction in non-vertebral fractures at 2 yrs (key secondary end-point) • Nominally significant reduction in hip fractures at 2 yrs • Positively adjudicated cardiovascular serious adverse events were 2.5% (romosozumab) vs 1.9% (ALN) - NNH 167 Amgen/UCB Press Release
