  2. Fracture Reduction in Observational Trials Broadening the Evidence

  3. Importance of Nonvertebral Fractures Nonvertebral fractures are approximately… 75% of all osteoporotic fractures and 90% of all osteoporosis related costs Percent Osteoporosis-related Costs Percent total osteoporotic fractures Vertebral Vertebral Nonvertebral Nonvertebral Data source: Medstat Marketscan which is comprised of ~ 45 private & public US health plans. n = 1,009,270: Inpatient and outpatient medical claims for fractures analyzed among women between 50 and 89 years enrolled in managed care programs in the year 2003.

  6. Broadening the EvidenceThe Role of Observational Studies

  7. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the gold standard for determining drug safety and efficacy and are prerequisite for regulatory approval of new drugs By design, RCTs have strict inclusion and exclusion criteria Evidence Based on Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) McKee M, et al. BMJ (1999);319:312-315

  8. Applying randomized controlled trial datato clinical practicePatients inclusion in randomized controlled trials Included Patients (%) In these two studies, less than 20% of patients in clinical practice were eligible for inclusion in randomized controlled trials (RCT) Dowd R, Recker RR, Heaney RP. OI 2000;11:533-6. Hlatky MA, et al. Stat Med 1984;3:375-84.

  9. Reasons for Exclusion (%) Barriers to Patient Entry into RCTsReasons patients not eligible for study Age Medications Comorbidity Disease Too Severe Primary reasons that patients are excluded from participating in osteoporosis randomized controlled trials at one center Dowd R, Recker RR, Heaney RP. OI 2000;11:533-6.

  10. Over the past decade, large claims databases have become very common in North America and Europe and are used to conduct effectiveness studies As clinical practice data accumulate over time, outcomes studies can be conducted to complement data generated by RCTs Broadening the EvidenceObservational and Claims Data Studies * Ayanian, JZ Eur Heart J (1999) 20: 1689-91

  11. RCT’s and Observational StudiesConsistent Results Key Findings: • Treatment effects in observational studies and RCT’s were similar for studies published since 1985 Of 19 diverse treatments from 136 reports, 89% showed that estimates of treatment effect from observational studies were not different from RCTs Overall, results from well-designed observational studies show similar treatment effects compared to randomized controlled trials Benson K et al. NEJM 2000;342(25):1878-86.

  12. Broadening the EvidenceObservational Studies Diversity of population and health care providers in category Health Care Database Health Care Database RCT RCT Product A Product B Time in category • Health Care Database studies can be conducted to create insights in the disease state, real world safety, treatment patterns, resource utilization and population-based effectiveness • Complements RCT findings in larger and more diverse patient-types within therapeutic category • Can provide basis for therapeutic comparison in real world patients

  13. Patient Observation Based on Claims Data Health plans with millions of people Provide service Record diagnosis, procedure, prescription Billing of service for patient Entry of ICD-9 coded diagnosis, NDC coded prescription Dates of service Claim payment by insurance company Collects all billing info, which can be used for research purposes

  14. Effectiveness of Bisphosphonates on Nonvertebral and Hip Fractures in the First Year of Therapy: The Risedronate and Alendronate (REAL) Cohort Study Delmas PD, Silverman SL, Watts NB,Lange JL, Lindsay R J Bone Miner Res 2006;21(Suppl 1):S180 Presented at: the Twenty-Eighth Annual Meeting of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research, Philadelphia, PA; September 15-19, 2006

  15. To evaluate the onset of fracture reduction by by measuring the incidence of hip and non-vertebralfractures among women 65+ in the first year following initiation of either once-a-week dosing of risedronate or alendronate Study Objective Delmas PD et al.

  26. Internal validity (systematic error) Information bias Selection bias Validation of data analysis Sensitivity analyses Validation of statistical analysis Consistency with other studies Biological plausibility How can I assess the comparability of the cohorts and the relevance of the results?

  27. There are known knowns. There are known unknowns. But there are also unknown unknowns. Information BiasAvailable data within claims databases Age, glucocorticoid use, rheumatoid arthritis, recent fracture history BMD, smoking, maternal fracture history, lifetime history of fracture Many fractures occur in persons with no obvious risk factors Donald Rumsfeld on a briefing on the IRAQ campaign

  28. Selection BiasFractures in pre-exposure history period Fracture diagnosis in pre-exposure period (%) * * 6-month pre exposure 12-month pre exposure (Subset (81%) of patients with 12-month history) * p<0.05

  37. Biologic PlausibilityDistinct differences among bisphosphonates Differential Binding to Hydroxyapatite • Affects uptake and distribution in bone • Affects duration of response and reversal of effect Differences in Inhibition of FPP Synthase • More potent BPs (eg risedronate) bind to FPPS more tightly • Cause conformational changes in the enzyme • Producing essentially irreversible inhibition

  38. In the REAL study, patients using risedronate had an earlier and lower incidence of non-vertebral and of hip fractures in the first year of therapy than those using alendronate. This cohort study is consistent with the results of previous randomized controlled clinical trials. Conclusion
