MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.


12.1 Mechanism of Action. Abaloparatide is PTHrP(1-34) analog which acts as an agonist at the PTH1 receptor (PTH1R). This results in activation of the cAMP signaling pathway in target cells. Once-daily administration of abaloparatide stimulates new bone formation on trabecular and cortical bone surfaces by stimulation of osteoblastic activity. In rats and monkeys, abaloparatide had an anabolic effect on bone, demonstrated by increases in BMD and bone mineral content (BMC) that correlated with increases in bone strength at vertebral and/or nonvertebral sites [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.2)].

The following adverse reactions are described in greater detail in other sections:Orthostatic Hypotension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] Hypercalcemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] Hypercalciuria and Urolithiasis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)] Orthostatic Hypotension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] Hypercalcemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] Hypercalciuria and Urolithiasis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)] The most common adverse reactions (incidence >=2%) are hypercalciuria, dizziness, nausea, headache, palpitations, fatigue, upper abdominal pain and vertigo. (6.1) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Radius Health, Inc. at 1-855-672-3487 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience. Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.. Postmenopausal Women with OsteoporosisThe safety of TYMLOS was evaluated in randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis aged 49 to 86 years (mean age 69 years) who were randomized to receive 80 mcg of TYMLOS (N 824) or placebo (N 821), given subcutaneously once daily for 18 months [see Clinical Studies (14)].In this study, the incidence of all-cause mortality was 0.4% in the TYMLOS group and 0.6% in the placebo group. The incidence of serious adverse events was 10% in the TYMLOS group and 11% in the placebo group. The percentage of patients who discontinued study drug due to adverse events was 10% in the TYMLOS group and 6% in the placebo group. The most common adverse reactions leading to study drug discontinuation in the TYMLOS group were nausea (2%), dizziness (1%), headache (1%), and palpitations (1%).Table shows the most common adverse reactions in the trial. These adverse reactions were generally not present at baseline, occurred more commonly with TYMLOS than with placebo, and occurred in at least 2% of the patients treated with TYMLOS.Table 1: Common Adverse Reactions Reported in Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis Adverse reactions reported in >=2% of TYMLOS-treated patients. Preferred termTYMLOS (N=822) (%)Placebo(N=820) (%) Hypercalciuria119 Dizziness106 Nausea83 Headache86 Palpitations50.4 Fatigue32 Abdominal pain upper32 Vertigo22. Orthostatic HypotensionIn the clinical trial of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, the incidence of orthostatic blood pressure decline >=20 mmHg systolic or >=10 mmHg diastolic at hour after the first injection was 4% in the TYMLOS group and 3% in the placebo group. At later time points the incidence was generally similar between the treatment groups. Adverse reactions of orthostatic hypotension were reported in 1% of patients receiving TYMLOS and 0.5% of patients receiving placebo. Dizziness was reported by more TYMLOS-treated patients (10%) compared to placebo (6%) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. TachycardiaIn women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, adverse reactions of tachycardia, including sinus tachycardia, were reported in 2% of patients receiving TYMLOS and 1% of patients in the placebo group. In of the 13 patients receiving TYMLOS who experienced tachycardia, symptoms occurred within hour of administration. TYMLOS has been associated with dose-dependent increase in heart rate which developed within 15 minutes after injection and resolved in about hours [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].Injection Site ReactionsDuring the first month of the trial, injection site reactions were assessed daily one-hour after injection. TYMLOS had higher incidence than placebo of injection site redness (58% vs. 28%), edema (10% vs. 3%) and pain (9% vs. 7%). Severe redness, severe edema, and severe pain were reported among 2.9%, 0.4%, and 0.4% of the TYMLOS-treated patients.. Laboratory Abnormalities. HypercalcemiaIn the clinical trial of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, TYMLOS caused increases in serum calcium concentrations [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. The incidence of hypercalcemia, defined as albumin-corrected serum calcium >=10.7 mg/dL at hours following injection at any visit was 3% in TYMLOS-treated patients and 0.1% with placebo. Pre-dose serum calcium was similar to baseline in both groups. There were (0.2%) TYMLOS-treated patients and no placebo-treated patients who discontinued from the study due to hypercalcemia. The incidence of hypercalcemia with TYMLOS was higher in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (4%) compared to patients with normal renal function (1%).. Increases in Serum Uric AcidTYMLOS increased serum uric acid concentrations. In the postmenopausal osteoporosis trial, among patients with normal baseline uric acid concentrations, 25% of patients in the TYMLOS group and 6% of patients in the placebo group had at least one post-baseline concentration above the normal range. The hyperuricemia observed in TYMLOS-treated patients was not associated with an increase in adverse reactions of gout or arthralgia over that observed with placebo.. Hypercalciuria and UrolithiasisIn the clinical trial of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, the overall incidence of urine calcium:creatinine ratio >400 mg/g was higher with TYMLOS than with placebo (20% vs 15%, respectively). Urolithiases were reported in 2.1% of TYMLOS-treated patients and 1.7% of placebo-treated patients.. Adverse Reactions from the Extension Study in Postmenopausal Women with OsteoporosisFollowing 18 months of treatment with TYMLOS or placebo, 1139 women transitioned to treatment with alendronate 70 mg administered orally once weekly. The incidence of adverse events occurring during alendronate treatment was similar in patients with prior placebo or TYMLOS therapy [see Clinical Studies (14)].. 6.2 Immunogenicity. As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to TYMLOS in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other products may be misleading.Of the patients receiving TYMLOS for 18 months, 49% (300/610) developed anti-abaloparatide antibodies, of these, 68% (201/297) developed neutralizing antibodies to abaloparatide. Of the patients with anti-abaloparatide antibodies tested for cross-reactivity, 2.3% (7/298) developed cross-reactivity to PTHrP, 43% (3/7) developed neutralizing antibodies to PTHrP, and 0% (0/298) developed cross-reactive antibodies to PTH. Antibody formation did not appear to have any clinically significant impact on safety or efficacy endpoints, including bone mineral density (BMD) response, fracture reduction, or adverse events.Most of the patients with anti-abaloparatide antibodies during treatment with TYMLOS, 85% (256/300), had follow-up antibody measurements six months after completion of TYMLOS therapy. Among these patients, 56% (143/256) remained antibody positive.. 6.3 Postmarketing Experience. The following adverse reactions have been identified during the post-approval use of TYMLOS. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish causal relationship to drug exposure.Abdominal distension, abdominal painConstipation, diarrhea, vomitingAsthenia, lethargy, malaiseInsomniaHypersensitivity and anaphylactic reactions, dyspnea (in the context of allergic reactions)Pruritus, rashGeneralized pain and pain in bone, joint, back, and extremityMuscle spasms of the leg and backInjection site reactions including bruising, hemorrhage, pruritus, and rash.

ANIMAL PHARMACOLOGY & OR TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13.2 Animal Toxicology and Pharmacology. In toxicity studies in rats and monkeys of up to 26-week and 39-week duration, respectively, findings included vasodilation, increases in serum calcium, decreases in serum phosphorus, and soft tissue mineralization at doses >=10 mcg/kg/day. The 10 mcg/kg/day dose resulted in systemic exposures to abaloparatide in rats and monkeys that were and times, respectively, the exposure in humans at daily subcutaneous doses of 80 mcg.Pharmacologic effects of abaloparatide on the skeleton were assessed in 12- and 16-month studies in ovariectomized (OVX) rats and monkeys, at doses up to 11 and times human exposure at the recommended subcutaneous dose of 80 mcg, respectively (based on AUC comparisons). In these animal models of postmenopausal osteoporosis, treatment with abaloparatide resulted in dose-dependent increases in bone mass at vertebral and/or nonvertebral sites, correlating with increases in bone strength. The anabolic effect of abaloparatide was due to the predominant increase in osteoblastic bone formation and was evidenced by increases in trabecular thickness and/or cortical thickness due to endosteal bone apposition. Abaloparatide maintained or improved bone quality at all skeletal sites evaluated and did not cause any mineralization defects.

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.


13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. In 2-year carcinogenicity study, abaloparatide was administered once daily to male and female Fischer rats by subcutaneous injection at doses of 10, 25, and 50 mcg/kg. These doses resulted in systemic exposures to abaloparatide that were 4, 16, and 28 times, respectively, the systemic exposure observed in humans following the recommended subcutaneous dose of 80 mcg (based on AUC comparisons). Neoplastic changes related to treatment with abaloparatide consisted of marked dose-dependent increases in osteosarcoma and osteoblastoma incidence in all male and female dose groups. The incidence of osteosarcoma was 0-2% in untreated controls and reached 87% and 62% in male and female high-dose groups, respectively. The bone neoplasms were accompanied by marked increases in bone mass.The relevance of the rat findings to humans is uncertain. The use of TYMLOS is not recommended in patients at increased risk of osteosarcoma [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 )]. Abaloparatide was not genotoxic or mutagenic in standard battery of tests including the Ames test for bacterial mutagenesis, the chromosome aberration test using human peripheral lymphocytes, and the mouse micronucleus test.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.


12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Abaloparatide is PTHrP(1-34) analog which acts as an agonist at the PTH1 receptor (PTH1R). This results in activation of the cAMP signaling pathway in target cells. Once-daily administration of abaloparatide stimulates new bone formation on trabecular and cortical bone surfaces by stimulation of osteoblastic activity. In rats and monkeys, abaloparatide had an anabolic effect on bone, demonstrated by increases in BMD and bone mineral content (BMC) that correlated with increases in bone strength at vertebral and/or nonvertebral sites [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.2)]. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics. Effects on Markers of Bone TurnoverA dose-finding study of abaloparatide administered once daily for 24 weeks demonstrated dose-response relationship for BMD and bone formation markers.Daily administration of TYMLOS to postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in clinical studies increased the bone formation marker serum procollagen type N-propeptide (PINP). The increase in PINP levels peaked at Month at 93% above baseline then decreased slowly over time. The increase in PINP was maintained above baseline throughout the treatment duration. At Month 18, PINP concentrations were approximately 45% above baseline. The increase in the bone resorption marker serum collagen type cross-linked C-telopeptide (sCTX) peaked at Month at 43% above baseline then decreased to 20% above baseline by Month 18.. Cardiac ElectrophysiologyA 4-way cross-over thorough QT/QTc study was conducted in 55 healthy subjects who received single doses of placebo, subcutaneous doses of abaloparatide at 80 mcg and 240 mcg (three times the recommended dose), and moxifloxacin 400 mg orally. Abaloparatide increased heart rate, with mean peak increase of 15 beats per minute (bpm) and 20 bpm at the first time point (15 minutes) after dosing with 80 mcg and 240 mcg, respectively. There were no clinically meaningful effects of abaloparatide on QTcI (individually corrected QT intervals) or cardiac electrophysiology.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Following seven days of subcutaneous administration of abaloparatide 80 mcg, the mean (SD) abaloparatide exposure was 812 (118) pg/mL for Cmax and 1622 (641) pg.hr/mL for AUC0-24.Figure below shows the mean (SD) abaloparatide pharmacokinetic profile in postmenopausal women (N 8) on Day 7.Figure 1. Mean Abaloparatide Pharmacokinetic Profile in Postmenopausal Women on Day 7. Figure 1. AbsorptionThe median (range) time to peak concentration of abaloparatide 80 mcg was 0.51 hr (0.25 to 0.52 hr) following subcutaneous administration. The absolute bioavailability of abaloparatide in healthy women after subcutaneous administration of an 80 mcg dose was 36%.. DistributionThe in vitro plasma protein binding of abaloparatide was approximately 70%. The volume of distribution was approximately 50 L.. EliminationThe mean (SD) half-life of abaloparatide is 1.7 (0.7) hrs. The peptide fragments are primarily eliminated through renal excretion.. MetabolismNo specific metabolism or excretion studies have been performed with TYMLOS. The metabolism of abaloparatide is consistent with non-specific proteolytic degradation into smaller peptide fragments, followed by elimination by renal clearance.. Specific Populations. Geriatric PatientsNo age-related differences in abaloparatide pharmacokinetics were observed in postmenopausal women ranging from 49 to 86 years of age.. RaceNo differences in abaloparatide pharmacokinetics based on race were observed in clinical trials.. Patients with Renal ImpairmentA single 80 mcg subcutaneous dose of abaloparatide was administered to male and female patients with renal impairment: patients with mild renal impairment (CLCr 60 to 89 mL/min), patients with moderate renal impairment (CLCr 30 to 59 mL/min), patients with severe renal impairment (CLCr 15 to 29 mL/min), and healthy subjects with normal renal function (CLCr 90 or greater mL/min) matched by sex, age, and body mass index (BMI). Abaloparatide Cmax increased 1.0-, 1.3-, and 1.4-fold in patients with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment, compared to the healthy subjects with normal renal function. Abaloparatide AUC increased 1.2-, 1.7-, and 2.1-fold in patients with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment, compared to the healthy subjects with normal renal function. Patients undergoing dialysis were not included in the study.. Drug InteractionsIn vitro studies showed that abaloparatide, at therapeutic concentrations, does not inhibit or induce Cytochrome P450 enzymes.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.


14 CLINICAL STUDIES. Efficacy Study in Women with Postmenopausal OsteoporosisThe efficacy of TYMLOS for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis was evaluated in Study 003 (NCT 01343004), an 18-month, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in postmenopausal women aged 49 to 86 years (mean age of 69) who were randomized to receive TYMLOS 80 mcg (N 824) or placebo (N 821) given subcutaneously once daily. Approximately 80% of patients were Caucasian, 16% were Asian, and 3% were Black; 24% were Hispanic. At baseline, the mean T-scores were -2.9 at the lumbar spine, -2.1 at the femoral neck, and -1.9 at the total hip. At baseline, 24% of patients had at least one prevalent vertebral fracture and 48% had at least one prior nonvertebral fracture. Patients took daily supplemental calcium (500 to 1000 mg) and vitamin (400 to 800 IU).The efficacy study was extended as Study 005 (NCT 01657162), an open-label study where patients were no longer receiving TYMLOS or placebo but were maintained in their original randomized treatment group and received 70 mg alendronate weekly, with calcium and vitamin supplements for months. Study 005 enrolled 1139 patients, representing 92% of patients who completed Study 003. This included 558 patients who had previously received TYMLOS and 581 patients who had previously received placebo. The cumulative 25-month efficacy dataset included 18 months of exposure to TYMLOS or placebo in Study 003, month of no treatment, followed by months of alendronate therapy in Study 005. Study 005 was then continued to complete 18 months of additional alendronate exposure during which time patients were no longer blinded to their original Study 003 treatment group.. Effect on New Vertebral FracturesThe primary endpoint was the incidence of new vertebral fractures in patients treated with TYMLOS compared to placebo. TYMLOS resulted in significant reduction in the incidence of new vertebral fractures compared to placebo at 18 months (0.6% TYMLOS compared to 4.2% placebo, <0.0001). The absolute risk reduction in new vertebral fractures was 3.6% at 18 months and the relative risk reduction was 86% for TYMLOS compared to placebo (Table 2). The incidence of new vertebral fractures at 25 months was 0.6% in patients treated with TYMLOS then alendronate, compared to 4.4% in patients treated with placebo then alendronate (p <0.0001). The relative risk reduction in new vertebral fractures at 25 months was 87% for patients treated with TYMLOS then alendronate, compared to patients treated with placebo then alendronate, and the absolute risk reduction was 3.9% (Table 2). After 24 months of open-label alendronate therapy, the vertebral fracture risk reduction achieved with TYMLOS therapy was maintained.Table 2: Percentage of Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis with New Vertebral Fractures (modified Intent to Treat population)+ Includes patients who had both pre- and post-treatment spine radiographs in Study 003+ Includes patients who had both pre- and post-treatment spine radiographs in Study 005 Confidence IntervalPercentage of Postmenopausal Women With FracturesAbsolute Risk Reduction (%)(95% CI)Relative Risk Reduction (%)(95% CI)TYMLOS (N=690) (%)Placebo(N=711) (%)0-18 months0.64.23.6(2.1, 5.4)86(61, 95)TYMLOS/Alendronate (N=544+) (%)Placebo/Alendronate (N=568+) (%)0-25 months0.64.43.9(2.1, 5.9)87(59, 96). Effect on Nonvertebral FracturesTYMLOS resulted in significant reduction in the incidence of nonvertebral fractures at the end of the 18 months of treatment plus month follow-up where no drug was administered (2.7% for TYMLOS-treated patients compared to 4.7% for placebo-treated patients). The relative risk reduction in nonvertebral fractures for TYMLOS compared to placebo was 43% (logrank test = 0.049) and the absolute risk reduction was 2.0%.Following months of alendronate treatment in Study 005, the cumulative incidence of nonvertebral fractures at 25 months was 2.7% for women in the prior TYMLOS group compared to 5.6% for women in the prior placebo group (Figure 2). At 25 months, the relative risk reduction in nonvertebral fractures was 52% (logrank test = 0.017) and the absolute risk reduction was 2.9%.Figure 2. Cumulative Incidence of Nonvertebral Fractures Over 25 Months (Intent to Treat Population)TYMLOS demonstrated consistent reductions in the risk of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures regardless of age, years since menopause, presence or absence of prior fracture (vertebral, nonvertebral) and BMD at baseline.. Figure 2. Effect on Bone Mineral Density (BMD)Treatment with TYMLOS for 18 months in Study 003 resulted in significant increases in BMD compared to placebo at the lumbar spine, total hip and femoral neck, each with p<0.0001 (Table 3). Similar findings were seen following months of alendronate treatment in Study 005 (Table 3).Table 3: Mean Percent Changes in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) From Baseline to Endpoint in Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis (Intent to Treat Population)+ Includes patients randomized in Study 003+ Includes patients enrolled in Study 005 Last-observation-carried-forward Confidence IntervalTYMLOS(N=824)(%)Placebo(N=821)(%)Treatment Difference (%)(95% CI)18 MonthsLumbar Spine9.20.58.8 (8.2, 9.3)Total Hip3.4-0.13.5 (3.3, 3.8)Femoral Neck2.9-0.43.3 (3.0, 3.7)TYMLOS/Alendronate(N=558+)(%)Placebo/Alendronate(N=581+)(%)25 MonthsLumbar Spine12.83.59.3 (8.6, 10.1)Total Hip5.51.44.1 (3.7, 4.5)Femoral Neck4.50.54.1 (3.6, 4.6)TYMLOS demonstrated consistent increases in BMD regardless of age, years since menopause, race, ethnicity, geographic region, presence or absence of prior fracture (vertebral, nonvertebral), and BMD at baseline.. Effect on Bone HistologyBone biopsy specimens were obtained from 71 patients with osteoporosis after 12 18 months of treatment (36 in the TYMLOS group and 35 in the placebo group). Of the biopsies obtained, 55 were adequate for quantitative histomorphometry assessment (27 in the TYMLOS group and 28 in the placebo group). Qualitative and quantitative histology assessment showed normal bone architecture and no evidence of woven bone, marrow fibrosis, or mineralization defects.

LACTATION SECTION.


8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryTYMLOS is not indicated for use in females of reproductive potential. There is no information on the presence of abaloparatide in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. In 2-year carcinogenicity study, abaloparatide was administered once daily to male and female Fischer rats by subcutaneous injection at doses of 10, 25, and 50 mcg/kg. These doses resulted in systemic exposures to abaloparatide that were 4, 16, and 28 times, respectively, the systemic exposure observed in humans following the recommended subcutaneous dose of 80 mcg (based on AUC comparisons). Neoplastic changes related to treatment with abaloparatide consisted of marked dose-dependent increases in osteosarcoma and osteoblastoma incidence in all male and female dose groups. The incidence of osteosarcoma was 0-2% in untreated controls and reached 87% and 62% in male and female high-dose groups, respectively. The bone neoplasms were accompanied by marked increases in bone mass.The relevance of the rat findings to humans is uncertain. The use of TYMLOS is not recommended in patients at increased risk of osteosarcoma [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 )]. Abaloparatide was not genotoxic or mutagenic in standard battery of tests including the Ames test for bacterial mutagenesis, the chromosome aberration test using human peripheral lymphocytes, and the mouse micronucleus test.. 13.2 Animal Toxicology and Pharmacology. In toxicity studies in rats and monkeys of up to 26-week and 39-week duration, respectively, findings included vasodilation, increases in serum calcium, decreases in serum phosphorus, and soft tissue mineralization at doses >=10 mcg/kg/day. The 10 mcg/kg/day dose resulted in systemic exposures to abaloparatide in rats and monkeys that were and times, respectively, the exposure in humans at daily subcutaneous doses of 80 mcg.Pharmacologic effects of abaloparatide on the skeleton were assessed in 12- and 16-month studies in ovariectomized (OVX) rats and monkeys, at doses up to 11 and times human exposure at the recommended subcutaneous dose of 80 mcg, respectively (based on AUC comparisons). In these animal models of postmenopausal osteoporosis, treatment with abaloparatide resulted in dose-dependent increases in bone mass at vertebral and/or nonvertebral sites, correlating with increases in bone strength. The anabolic effect of abaloparatide was due to the predominant increase in osteoblastic bone formation and was evidenced by increases in trabecular thickness and/or cortical thickness due to endosteal bone apposition. Abaloparatide maintained or improved bone quality at all skeletal sites evaluated and did not cause any mineralization defects.

OVERDOSAGE SECTION.


10 OVERDOSAGE. In clinical study, accidental overdose was reported in patient who received 400 mcg in one day (5 times the recommended clinical dose); dosing was temporarily interrupted. The patient experienced asthenia, headache, nausea, and vertigo. Serum calcium was not assessed on the day of the overdose, but on the following day the patients serum calcium was within the normal range. The effects of overdose may include hypercalcemia, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, tachycardia, orthostatic hypotension, and headache.. Overdosage ManagementThere is no specific antidote for TYMLOS. Treatment of suspected overdose should include discontinuation of TYMLOS, monitoring of serum calcium and phosphorus, and implementation of appropriate supportive measures, such as hydration. Based on the molecular weight, plasma protein binding and volume of distribution, abaloparatide is not expected to be dialyzable.

PEDIATRIC USE SECTION.


8.4 Pediatric Use. Safety and effectiveness of TYMLOS have not been established in pediatric patients. TYMLOS is not recommended for use in pediatric patients with open epiphyses or hereditary disorders predisposing to osteosarcoma because of an increased baseline risk of osteosarcoma [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION.


12.2 Pharmacodynamics. Effects on Markers of Bone TurnoverA dose-finding study of abaloparatide administered once daily for 24 weeks demonstrated dose-response relationship for BMD and bone formation markers.Daily administration of TYMLOS to postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in clinical studies increased the bone formation marker serum procollagen type N-propeptide (PINP). The increase in PINP levels peaked at Month at 93% above baseline then decreased slowly over time. The increase in PINP was maintained above baseline throughout the treatment duration. At Month 18, PINP concentrations were approximately 45% above baseline. The increase in the bone resorption marker serum collagen type cross-linked C-telopeptide (sCTX) peaked at Month at 43% above baseline then decreased to 20% above baseline by Month 18.. Cardiac ElectrophysiologyA 4-way cross-over thorough QT/QTc study was conducted in 55 healthy subjects who received single doses of placebo, subcutaneous doses of abaloparatide at 80 mcg and 240 mcg (three times the recommended dose), and moxifloxacin 400 mg orally. Abaloparatide increased heart rate, with mean peak increase of 15 beats per minute (bpm) and 20 bpm at the first time point (15 minutes) after dosing with 80 mcg and 240 mcg, respectively. There were no clinically meaningful effects of abaloparatide on QTcI (individually corrected QT intervals) or cardiac electrophysiology.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.


12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Following seven days of subcutaneous administration of abaloparatide 80 mcg, the mean (SD) abaloparatide exposure was 812 (118) pg/mL for Cmax and 1622 (641) pg.hr/mL for AUC0-24.Figure below shows the mean (SD) abaloparatide pharmacokinetic profile in postmenopausal women (N 8) on Day 7.Figure 1. Mean Abaloparatide Pharmacokinetic Profile in Postmenopausal Women on Day 7. Figure 1. AbsorptionThe median (range) time to peak concentration of abaloparatide 80 mcg was 0.51 hr (0.25 to 0.52 hr) following subcutaneous administration. The absolute bioavailability of abaloparatide in healthy women after subcutaneous administration of an 80 mcg dose was 36%.. DistributionThe in vitro plasma protein binding of abaloparatide was approximately 70%. The volume of distribution was approximately 50 L.. EliminationThe mean (SD) half-life of abaloparatide is 1.7 (0.7) hrs. The peptide fragments are primarily eliminated through renal excretion.. MetabolismNo specific metabolism or excretion studies have been performed with TYMLOS. The metabolism of abaloparatide is consistent with non-specific proteolytic degradation into smaller peptide fragments, followed by elimination by renal clearance.. Specific Populations. Geriatric PatientsNo age-related differences in abaloparatide pharmacokinetics were observed in postmenopausal women ranging from 49 to 86 years of age.. RaceNo differences in abaloparatide pharmacokinetics based on race were observed in clinical trials.. Patients with Renal ImpairmentA single 80 mcg subcutaneous dose of abaloparatide was administered to male and female patients with renal impairment: patients with mild renal impairment (CLCr 60 to 89 mL/min), patients with moderate renal impairment (CLCr 30 to 59 mL/min), patients with severe renal impairment (CLCr 15 to 29 mL/min), and healthy subjects with normal renal function (CLCr 90 or greater mL/min) matched by sex, age, and body mass index (BMI). Abaloparatide Cmax increased 1.0-, 1.3-, and 1.4-fold in patients with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment, compared to the healthy subjects with normal renal function. Abaloparatide AUC increased 1.2-, 1.7-, and 2.1-fold in patients with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment, compared to the healthy subjects with normal renal function. Patients undergoing dialysis were not included in the study.. Drug InteractionsIn vitro studies showed that abaloparatide, at therapeutic concentrations, does not inhibit or induce Cytochrome P450 enzymes.

PREGNANCY SECTION.

2.1 Recommended Dosage. The recommended dosage of TYMLOS is 80 mcg subcutaneously once daily.Patients should receive supplemental calcium and vitamin if dietary intake is inadequate.. The recommended dosage of TYMLOS is 80 mcg subcutaneously once daily.. Patients should receive supplemental calcium and vitamin if dietary intake is inadequate.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION.


8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS. 8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryTYMLOS is not indicated for use in females of reproductive potential. There are no human data with TYMLOS use in pregnant women to inform any drug associated risks. Animal reproduction studies with abaloparatide have not been conducted.. 8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryTYMLOS is not indicated for use in females of reproductive potential. There is no information on the presence of abaloparatide in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production.. 8.4 Pediatric Use. Safety and effectiveness of TYMLOS have not been established in pediatric patients. TYMLOS is not recommended for use in pediatric patients with open epiphyses or hereditary disorders predisposing to osteosarcoma because of an increased baseline risk of osteosarcoma [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. 8.5 Geriatric Use. Of the total number of patients in the postmenopausal osteoporosis clinical studies of TYMLOS, 82% were age 65 years and over, and 19% were age 75 years and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.. 8.6 Renal Impairment. No dosage adjustment is required for patients with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment. study of single dose of TYMLOS 80 mcg given subcutaneously was conducted in subjects with normal renal function or mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment. The maximal concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of abaloparatide increased 1.4- and 2.1-fold, respectively, in subjects with severe renal impairment, compared to subjects with normal renal function. Patients with severe renal impairment may have increased abaloparatide exposure that may increase the risk of adverse reactions; therefore, monitor for adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION.


5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS. Osteosarcoma: Avoid use in patients with increased risk of osteosarcoma including patients with open epiphyses, metabolic bone diseases including Pagets disease, bone metastases or history of skeletal malignancies, prior external beam or implant radiation therapy involving the skeleton, and hereditary disorders predisposing to osteosarcoma. (5.1)Orthostatic Hypotension: Instruct patients to sit or lie down if symptoms develop after dose administration. (5.2)Hypercalcemia: Avoid use in patients with pre-existing hypercalcemia and those known to have an underlying hypercalcemic disorder, such as primary hyperparathyroidism. (5.3)Hypercalciuria and Urolithiasis: Monitor urine calcium if pre-existing hypercalciuria or active urolithiasis are suspected. (5.4). Osteosarcoma: Avoid use in patients with increased risk of osteosarcoma including patients with open epiphyses, metabolic bone diseases including Pagets disease, bone metastases or history of skeletal malignancies, prior external beam or implant radiation therapy involving the skeleton, and hereditary disorders predisposing to osteosarcoma. (5.1). Orthostatic Hypotension: Instruct patients to sit or lie down if symptoms develop after dose administration. (5.2). Hypercalcemia: Avoid use in patients with pre-existing hypercalcemia and those known to have an underlying hypercalcemic disorder, such as primary hyperparathyroidism. (5.3). Hypercalciuria and Urolithiasis: Monitor urine calcium if pre-existing hypercalciuria or active urolithiasis are suspected. (5.4). 5.1 Risk of Osteosarcoma. Abaloparatide caused dose-dependent increase in the incidence of osteosarcoma in male and female rats after subcutaneous administration at exposures to 28 times the human exposure at the clinical dose of 80 mcg [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)]. It is unknown whether TYMLOS will cause osteosarcoma in humans.Osteosarcoma has been reported in patients treated with PTH-analog in the post marketing setting; however, an increased risk of osteosarcoma has not been observed in observational studies in humans. There are limited data assessing the risk of osteosarcoma beyond years of TYMLOS and/or use of PTH-analog [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].Avoid TYMLOS use in patients with (these patients are at increased baseline risk of osteosarcoma):Open epiphyses (pediatric and young adult patients) (TYMLOS is not approved in pediatric patients) [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].Metabolic bone diseases other than osteoporosis, including Pagets disease of the bone.Bone metastases or history of skeletal malignancies.Prior external beam or implant radiation therapy involving the skeleton.Hereditary disorders predisposing to osteosarcoma.. Open epiphyses (pediatric and young adult patients) (TYMLOS is not approved in pediatric patients) [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].. Metabolic bone diseases other than osteoporosis, including Pagets disease of the bone.. Bone metastases or history of skeletal malignancies.. Prior external beam or implant radiation therapy involving the skeleton.. Hereditary disorders predisposing to osteosarcoma.. 5.2 Orthostatic Hypotension. Orthostatic hypotension may occur with TYMLOS, typically within hours of injection. Associated symptoms may include dizziness, palpitations, tachycardia or nausea, and may resolve by having the patient lie down. For the first several doses, TYMLOS should be administered where the patient can sit or lie down if necessary [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].. 5.3 Hypercalcemia. TYMLOS may cause hypercalcemia. TYMLOS is not recommended in patients with pre-existing hypercalcemia or in patients who have an underlying hypercalcemic disorder, such as primary hyperparathyroidism, because of the possibility of exacerbating hypercalcemia [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. 5.4 Hypercalciuria and Urolithiasis. TYMLOS may cause hypercalciuria. It is unknown whether TYMLOS may exacerbate urolithiasis in patients with active or history of urolithiasis. If active urolithiasis or pre-existing hypercalciuria is suspected, measurement of urinary calcium excretion should be considered [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
