Background

In children with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), high circulating levels of FGF23 cause hypophosphatemia with consequent rickets, skeletal deformities, and growth impairment. Burosumab is an FDA-approved fully human monoclonal antibody against FGF23 for patients ≥1 year of age with XLH. Conventional therapy consists of multiple daily doses of oral phosphate and active vitamin D (Pi/D).

Methods

In the study CL301 (NCT02915705), 61 children with XLH (1-12 years old) were randomized (1:1) to receive subcutaneous burosumab starting at 0.8 mg/kg every 2 weeks (wk) or Pi/D as prescribed by the investigator. Eligibility criteria included a Total Rickets Severity Score (RSS) ≥2.0.

Results

Burosumab showed significantly greater improvement than Pi/D in rickets as assessed by radiologists blinded to treatment using the radiographic global impression of change (RGI-C) at Wk 40 (primary endpoint). More subjects in the burosumab group had substantial healing (RGI-C ≥+2.0) at Wk 40, compared with the Pi/D group (21/29, 72% vs 2/32, 6%; odds ratio of healing 39.1, p<0.0001). Decreases in rickets severity assessed by RSS and alkaline phosphatase also were greater with burosumab. Increases in serum phosphorus were greater with burosumab than with Pi/D. Standing height Z-score increased from a baseline mean (SD) of -2.32 (1.17) to -2.12 (1.22) at Wk 40 for burosumab; and from -2.05 (0.87) to -1.97 (0.87) for Pi/D. Percent predicted distance walked increased with burosumab (Baseline to Wk 40: 62% to 72%) and was unchanged with Pi/D (76% to 75%). Adverse events of interest were higher in the burosumab group, but were mild to moderate in severity overall, with no discontinuations.

Conclusion

Burosumab resulted in significantly greater improvement in rickets and serum phosphorus than conventional therapy in 1-12 year-old children with XLH.

Summary of Efficacy in UX023-CL301

RGI-C Global Score at Week 40, LS Mean ± SE+0.77 ± 0.11+1.92 ± 0.111.14, p<0.0001
Total RSS, LS mean ± SE Change from Baseline to Week 40-0.71 ± 0.138-2.04 ± 0.145-1.34, p<0.0001

Higher RGI-C and lower RSS = improvement; p-values from ANCOVA (Rickets) & GEE (ALP, TmP/GFR, and Pi).
