  • *Serum phosphorus level (mg/dL) (mean ±SD). The dotted line represents the lower limit of normal (LLN, 2.5 mg/dL). Normal levels of serum phosphorus range from 2.5 to 4.5 mg/dL. Note that the normal levels of serum phosphorus vary by age and sex. At baseline mean (SD) serum phosphorus levels were 2.0 (0.30) and 1.9 (0.32) mg/dL for the CRYSVITA and placebo groups, respectively. Mean serum phosphorus levels across midpoints of dose intervals (2 weeks postdose) were 3.2 (0.53) and 2.1 (0.30) mg/dL for the CRYSVITA and placebo groups, respectively.

In Study 4 (N=134, ages 19 to 66 years), when given CRYSVITA or placebo every 4 weeks1:

  • Mean (SD) serum phosphorus levels across midpoints of dose intervals (2 weeks postdose) increased from 2.0 (0.30) mg/dL at baseline to 3.2 (0.53) mg/dL in the CRYSVITA group compared with 1.9 (0.32) mg/dL at baseline to 2.1 (0.30) mg/dL in the placebo group
  • Mean (SD) serum phosphorus levels across the ends of dose intervals were 2.7 (0.45) mg/dL and 2.0 (0.30) mg/dL in the CRYSVITA and placebo groups, respectively
  • During the open-label treatment period, serum phosphorus was maintained with continued CRYSVITA therapy with no evidence of loss of effect through Week 48

  • SD, standard deviation.
    *Normal osteoid volume/bone volume was defined as 0.30% to 3.10%; osteoid thickness as 5.5 to 12 μm; and mineralization lag time as 15 to 50 days.

    At baseline, histomorphometric assessments of osteomalacia were determined by a comparison using reference measurements3,5:

  • In 10 out of 14 patients, mean osteoid volume to bone volume (OV/BV) ratio was 26 (12.4) %, compared with a reference range of 0.3% to 3.1% in healthy postmenopausal women
  • In 11 out of 14 patients, mean osteoid thickness (O.Th) was 17.2 (12.4) μm, compared with the reference range of 5.5 to 12 μm
  • Mineralization lag time (MLt) was measurable at baseline for 6 subjects. For these 6 subjects, mean MLt was 594 (675) days, compared with a reference range of 15 to 50 days in healthy postmenopausal women

    At Week 48, CRYSVITA healed osteomalacia, as demonstrated by bone histomorphometric assessments of osteomalacia, such as1:

  • 57% reduction in osteoid volume/bone volume
  • 33% reduction in osteoid thickness
  • 74% reduction in mineralization lag time

Active fractures and pseudofractures

CRYSVITA healed osteomalacia-related fractures1

In Study 4 (N=134, ages 19 to 66 years), osteomalacia-related active fractures were defined as atraumatic lucencies extending across both bone cortices, and pseudofractures were defined as atraumatic lucencies extending across 1 cortex. The total number of fractures was defined as fractures and pseudofractures combined.1

Location of Fractures/Pseudofractures

In Study 4, fractures were predominantly located in the femur, tibia/fibula, and metatarsals

  • *Total fractures are osteomalacia-related fractures that were defined as atraumatic lucencies extending across both bone cortices, and pseudofractures that were defined as atraumatic lucencies extending across one cortex. These fractures were predominantly located in femurs, tibia/fibula, and metatarsals of the feet. Total fractures were both active fractures and pseudofractures. Healing is defined as complete or partial healing.

    At baseline, the total number of active fractures/pseudofractures were1:

  • CRYSVITA=65
  • Placebo=91

    • At Week 24, the total number of healed active fractures/pseudofractures were1:

  • CRYSVITA=28 (43%)
  • Placebo=7 (8%)

    • At Week 48, the total number of healed active fractures/pseudofractures were1:

  • CRYSVITA to CRYSVITA=41 (63%)
  • Placebo to CRYSVITA=32 (35%)

At Week 24, 68 patients receiving CRYSVITA had a total of 6 new fractures or pseudofractures, compared with 8 new abnormalities in 66 patients receiving placebo.

CRYSVITA led to active fracture and pseudofracture healing through Week 48

CRYSVITA led to greater active fracture healing, compared with placebo

Proportion of Active Pseudofractures Healed at Weeks 24 and 48

CRYSVITA led to greater active pseudofracture healing, compared with placebo

During the open-label treatment period, patients who continued receiving CRYSVITA showed continued healing of active fractures (n=8, 57%) and active pseudofractures (n=33, 65%). In the placebo to CRYSVITA group, fracture healing was observed at Week 48 for active fractures (n=6, 46%) and active pseudofractures (n=26, 33%).

Patient-reported outcomes

CRYSVITA was shown to improve patient-reported joint stiffness, compared with placebo; no significant differences were noted in pain and physical function1

In Study 4 (N=134, ages 19 to 66 years), patient-reported joint stiffness was assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC).

  • *The estimates of LS means at Week 24 are from the generalized estimating equation (GEE) model.

CRYSVITA improved joint stiffness from baseline to Week 24:

  • The CRYSVITA arm showed a mean improvement from baseline (-7.9), compared with the placebo arm (+0.3), in the stiffness severity score (range 0 to 100; lower scores are reflective of symptom improvement)

Other XLH-related patient-reported symptoms, including pain and phsyical function, were assessed in Study 4. At 24 weeks, no significant difference between CRYSVITA and placebo was demonstrated in patient-reported pain intensity or physical function score.
