A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Pharmacodynamics, Safety, and Immunogenicity of FKS518 in Postmenopausal...
Postmenopausal OsteoporosisThe primary objective of this study is to demonstrate equivalent efficacy of FKS518 to US-licensed Prolia in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO). Participants will be randomized at the beginning of the Double-blind Core Treatment Period (Baseline to Week 52) to receive either FKS518 or US-licensed Prolia on Day 1, and then every 26 weeks for up to 52 weeks. At the beginning of the Double-blind Transition Period (Week 52 to Week 78), participants who received US-licensed Prolia will be re-randomized to either continue receiving US-licensed Prolia every 26 weeks for up to 78 weeks, or switch to receive FKS518 every 26 weeks for up to 78 weeks. Participants who were randomized to receive FKS518 at the beginning of the Double-blind Core Treatment Period will continue to receive this treatment during the Double-blind Transition Period. For Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) in the EU and European Economic Area (EEA) only: The primary objective is to demonstrate equivalent efficacy and pharmacodynamics of the proposed biosimilar denosumab FKS518 to US-Prolia in women with PMO.

Prevention of Early Postmenopausal Bone Loss With Lactobacillus Reuteri
Postmenopausal OsteoporosisThis study evaluates the effect of two different doses of Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC PTA 6475 (L.reuteri 6475) on bone loss in early postmenopausal women. One third of the participants will be randomised to the lower dose, one third to the higher dose and one third to placebo.
Bone Loss and Immune Reconstitution in HIV/AIDS (BLIR-HIV)
HIV InfectionBone Loss2 moreWith the increasing age of people living with HIV/AIDS, age-induced osteoporosis is likely to be compounded by HIV/AIDS and HAART-associated bone loss. Mechanistically, osteoclasts the cells responsible for bone resorption form under the influence of the key osteoclastogenic cytokine receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL). The osteoclastogenic and proresorptive activities of RANKL are moderated by its physiological decoy receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG). Imbalance in the ratio of RANKL to OPG alters osteoclastic bone resorption and lead to osteoporosis. Activated T- and B-cells are a major source of RANKL, while normal physiological B-cells are a major source of OPG. T-cells regulate the production of OPG by B-cells. Thus changes in the immune system induced by HIV/AIDS and/or by HAART could affect B-cell and T-cells RANKL and OPG production. Indeed, data from our group shows that in an animal model of HIV/AIDS, the HIV-1 Transgenic rat, the development of osteoporosis is recapitulated as observed in HIV-infected patients, and B-cell OPG and RANKL production are concurrently down regulated and upregulated respectively. Furthermore, preliminary data in HIV-infected subjects suggests dramatic acute upswing in bone resorption following HAART initiation that peaks at 12 weeks and then declines. Based on these findings, the investigators hypothesize HAART associated bone loss is driven by immune reconstitution. Because this effect of HAART is dramatic in magnitude but short in duration, the investigators propose to apply antiresorptive agent (zoledronic acid, reclast®) to specifically spare patients from this dramatic but acute bone damage.
