Popis: Inhibition of cathepsin K (CatK) is a potential new treatment for osteoporosis. In two double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase I studies, postmenopausal female subjects received odanacatib (ODN), an orally active, potent, and selective CatK inhibitor, once weekly for 3 weeks or once daily for 21 days. Bone turnover biomarkers, safety monitoring, and plasma ODN concentrations were assessed. These studies showed ODN to be well tolerated. Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis revealed a long half-life (t(1/2); 66-93 h) consistent with once-weekly dosing. Pronounced reductions in C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (approximately 62%) and N-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen normalized to creatinine (NTx/Cr) (approximately 62%) at trough (C(168 h)) were seen following weekly administration. Robust reductions in CTx (up to 81%) and NTx/Cr (up to 81%) were seen following daily administration. ODN exhibits robust and sustained suppression of bone resorption biomarkers (CTx and NTx/Cr) at weekly dosesor = 25 mg and daily dosesor = 2.5 mg.
