We evaluated the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of a single subcutaneous dose of romosozumab 210 mg, a monoclonal antibody against sclerostin, in an open-label, parallel-group study in participants with severe (stage 4) renal impairment (RI; n = 8) or end-stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis (ESRD-RH; n = 8), or healthy participants with normal renal function (n = 8). Compared with the group with normal renal function, the mean romosozumab exposure was 31% and 43% higher as measured by maximum observed serum concentration and area under the concentration-time curve, respectively, in the severe RI group and similar to those in the ESRD-RH group. For all 3 groups, the maximum mean percent increase in procollagen type 1 N terminal propeptide and decrease in serum C-telopeptide levels from baseline were observed on day 15. Changes in procollagen type 1 N terminal propeptide and serum C-telopeptide were of similar patterns in all 3 groups. The single dose of romosozumab 210 mg was well tolerated. Adverse events (AEs) were reported for 13 patients (7 patients with severe RI and 6 with ESRD-RH), with no deaths, AEs, or serious AEs leading to withdrawal. The incidence of subjects with postbaseline transient decreases in serum calcium (severe RI, n = 1; ESRD-RH, n = 5) and increases in intact parathyroid hormone (severe RI, n = 7; ESRD-RH, n = 7; healthy, n = 3) were greater in severe RI and ESRD-RH groups than in the healthy group. All reported events of hypocalcemia (severe RI, n = 1; ESRD-RH, n = 4) were asymptomatic. These results support the use of romosozumab without dose adjustment in patients with severe RI or ESRD-RH. |
