Risk Summary
- There are no available data on CRYSVITA use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. In utero, burosumab-twza exposure in cynomolgus monkeys did not result in teratogenic effects. Adverse effects such as late fetal loss and preterm birth were observed in pregnant cynomolgus monkeys, however, these effects are unlikely to indicate clinical risk because they occurred at a drug exposure that was 64-fold higher, by AUC, than the human exposure at 1 mg/kg every 4 weeks and were accompanied in the non-XLH monkeys by maternal hyperphosphatemia and placental mineralization (see Data). Serum phosphorus levels should be monitored throughout pregnancy. Report pregnancies to the Ultragenyx Adverse Event reporting line at 1-888-756-8657.
- The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown; however, the estimated background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2% to 4% and of miscarriage is 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies.
Data (Animal)
- In a reproductive toxicity study in pregnant cynomolgus monkeys without XLH, burosumab-twza was administered intravenously once every two weeks from Day 20 of pregnancy to parturition or cesarean section on Day 133, which includes the period of organogenesis, at doses of 1-, 7- and 64-fold human exposure at the adult human dose of 1 mg/kg every 4 weeks. The treatment did not result in teratogenic effects in fetuses or offspring. An increase in late fetal loss, a shortened gestation period, and an increased incidence of preterm births were observed at 64-fold the human exposure at the adult human dose of 1 mg/kg every 4 weeks, concomitant with maternal hyperphosphatemia and placental mineralization. Burosumab-twza was detected in serum from fetuses indicating transport across the placenta. Hyperphosphatemia but no ectopic mineralization was present in fetuses and offspring of dams exposed to 64-fold human exposure at the 1 mg/kg dose every 4 weeks. Burosumab-twza did not affect pre- and postnatal growth including survivability of the offspring.
Pregnancy Category (AUS):
There is no Australian Drug Evaluation Committee (ADEC) guidance on usage of Burosumab in women who are pregnant.
Labor and Delivery
There is no FDA guidance on use of Burosumab during labor and delivery.
Nursing Mothers
Risk Summary
- There is no information regarding the presence of burosumab-twza in human milk, or the effects of burosumab-twza on milk production or the breastfed infant. Maternal IgG is present in breast milk. However, the effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure to burosumab-twza in the breastfed infant are unknown. The lack of clinical data during lactation precludes a clear determination of the risk of CRYSVITA to an infant during lactation. Therefore, the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for CRYSVITA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from CRYSVITA or from the underlying maternal condition.
Pediatric Use
- Safety and efficacy of CRYSVITA have been established in pediatric patients 1 year and older. Efficacy in pediatric patients 1 year and older with XLH is based on open label studies of 52 pediatric patients 5 to 12 years of age with XLH (Study 1), and in 13 pediatric patients 1 to 4 years of age with XLH (Study 2) evaluating serum phosphorus and radiographic findings. Efficacy in adolescents is supported by studies in pediatric patients less than 13 years of age. Dosing in this age group was derived using modeling and simulation of adult and pediatric PK and PD data.
- Safety and efficacy for CRYSVITA in pediatric patients with XLH below the age of 1 have not been established.
Geriatic Use
- Clinical studies of CRYSVITA did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
Gender
There is no FDA guidance on the use of Burosumab with respect to specific gender populations.
Race
There is no FDA guidance on the use of Burosumab with respect to specific racial populations.
Renal Impairment
There is no FDA guidance on the use of Burosumab in patients with renal impairment.
Hepatic Impairment
There is no FDA guidance on the use of Burosumab in patients with hepatic impairment.
Females of Reproductive Potential and Males
There is no FDA guidance on the use of Burosumab in women of reproductive potentials and males.
Immunocompromised Patients
There is no FDA guidance one the use of Burosumab in patients who are immunocompromised.
Administration and Monitoring
Administration
General Considerations for Subcutaneous Administration
- Injection sites should be rotated with each injection administered at a different anatomic location (upper arms, upper thighs, buttocks, or any quadrant of abdomen) than the previous injection. Do not inject into moles, scars, or areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red, hard, or not intact. The maximum volume of CRYSVITA per injection site is 1.5 mL. If more than 1.5 mL is required on a given dosing day, the total volume of CRYSVITA should be split and administered at two different injection sites. Monitor for signs of reactions.
- Visually inspect CRYSVITA for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. CRYSVITA is a sterile, preservative-free, clear to slightly opalescent and colorless to pale brown-yellow solution for subcutaneous injection. Do not use if the solution is discolored or cloudy or if the solution contains any particles or foreign particulate matter.
Monitoring
- Clinical improvement of hypophosphatemia may be indicative of efficacy.
- Fasting serum phosphorus level: Prior to therapy initiation in all patients.
- Fasting serum phosphorus level: Every 4 weeks for the first 3 months and then as clinically indicated in pediatric patients.
- Fasting serum phosphorus level: Monthly, 2 weeks after dose is given, for the first 3 months and then as clinically indicated in adult patients.
- Injection site reactions.
IV Compatibility
There is limited information regarding the compatibility of Burosumab and IV administrations.
Overdosage
- There have been no reports of overdose with CRYSVITA. CRYSVITA has been administered in pediatric clinical trials without dose limiting toxicity using doses up to 2 mg/kg body weight with a maximal dose of 90 mg, administered every two weeks. In adult clinical trials, no dose limiting toxicity has been observed using doses up to 1 mg/kg or a maximal total dose of 128 mg every 4 weeks. In non-XLH rabbits and cynomolgus monkeys, ectopic mineralization in multiple tissues and organs was observed at doses of burosumab-twza that resulted in supra-physiologic serum phosphate levels. Adverse effects on bone including reductions in bone mineral density, bone mineralization and bone strength were also observed at exposure greater than human exposure.
- In case of overdose, it is recommended that serum phosphorus levels, serum calcium levels and renal function be measured immediately and monitored periodically until resolution to normal/baseline levels. In case of hyperphosphatemia, withhold CRYSVITA and initiate appropriate medical treatment.
Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
- X-linked hypophosphatemia is caused by excess fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) which suppresses renal tubular phosphate reabsorption and the renal production of 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D. Burosumab-twza binds to and inhibits the biological activity of FGF23 restoring renal phosphate reabsorption and increasing the serum concentration of 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D.
Structure
There is limited information regarding Burosumab Structure in the drug label.
Pharmacodynamics
- Following SC administration in XLH patients, higher burosumab-twza concentrations were associated with greater increase of serum phosphorus levels. The increase in serum phosphorus was reversible and returned to baseline with elimination of systemic burosumab-twza.
- Ratio of renal tubular maximum reabsorption rate of phosphate to glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR) showed dose-dependent increases from baseline.
- Elevation in serum total FGF23 was observed after initiation of burosumab-twza treatment, however, the clinical implication is unknown.
Pharmacokinetics
- The following pharmacokinetic parameters were observed in patients with XLH administered the approved recommended starting dosage based on a 70 kg patient, unless otherwise specified.
- Burosumab-twza exhibited linear pharmacokinetics following SC injections within the dose range of 0.1 to 1 mg/kg (0.08 to 0.8 times the maximum approved recommended dosage based on a 70 kg patient).
- The steady-state trough mean (± SD) concentration of burosumab-twza was 5.8 (± 3.4) mcg/mL in adult patients.
Absorption
- The burosumab-twza mean Tmax values ranged from 8 to 11 days.
Distribution
- The apparent volume of distribution of burosumab-twza is 8 L.
Elimination
- The apparent clearance is 0.290 L/day. The half-life of burosumab-twza is approximately 19 days.
Metabolism
- The exact pathway for burosumab-twza metabolism has not been characterized. Burosumab-twza is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways.
Specific Populations
- No clinical significant difference in burosumab-twza pharmacokinetics was observed based on age.
- The effect of renal or hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of burosumab-twza is unknown.
Pediatric Patients
- The steady-state trough concentration was 15.8 (± 9.4) mcg/mL in patients aged 5-12 years, and 11.2 (± 4.6) mcg/mL in patients aged 1-4 years.
Body Weight
- Clearance and volume of distribution of burosumab-twza increases with body weight.
Drug Interaction Studies
- No drug interaction studies have been conducted with CRYSVITA.
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
- The carcinogenic potential of burosumab-twza has not been evaluated in long term animal studies.
- Studies have not been performed to evaluate the mutagenic potential of burosumab-twza.
- No specific fertility studies have been performed in animals to evaluate the effects of burosumab-twza.
- Toxicology studies with burosumab-twza of up to 40 weeks duration in non-XLH cynomolgus monkeys did not show significant adverse effects on female reproductive organs at doses up to 65-fold human exposure at the dose of 1 mg/kg every 4 weeks. In male monkeys, minimal mineralization of the rete testis or seminiferous tubules associated with hyperphosphatemia was observed at 11- to 37-fold human exposure, but semen analysis did not show any adverse effects.
Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology
- In rabbits and cynomolgus monkeys, inhibition of FGF23 signaling by burosumab-twza increased serum phosphate and 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D. Ectopic mineralization in multiple tissues and organs was observed at doses of burosumab-twza that resulted in supra-physiologic serum phosphate levels in the non-XLH animals. In a study in wild type (WT) and hypophosphatemic Hyp mice, a murine model of XLH, ectopic mineralization was markedly less in Hyp mice.
- In adult cynomolgus monkeys, burosumab-twza increased bone turnover, mineral content and/or mineral density and cortical thickness at 37- to 65-fold human exposure at the dose of 1 mg/kg every 4 weeks. Adverse effects on bone including reductions in bone mineral density, bone mineralization and bone strength were observed in adult male monkeys at 37- to 47-fold human exposure at the dose of 1 mg/kg every 4 weeks.
- In juvenile cynomolgus monkeys, burosumab-twza increased bone turnover, mineral content and/or mineral density and/or cortical thickness at 0.5- to 5-fold clinical pediatric exposure. Bone mineralization was decreased in a male monkey at 5-fold pediatric exposure but there was no effect on bone strength. Burosumab-twza did not affect bone development in juvenile monkeys at doses up to 5-fold pediatric exposure.
Clinical Studies
Pediatric X-linked Hypophosphatemia
- CRYSVITA has been evaluated in 65 pediatric patients with XLH.
- Study 1 (NCT 02163577) is a randomized, open-label study in 52 prepubescent XLH patients, 5 to 12 years old, which compared treatment with CRYSVITA administered every 2 weeks versus every 4 weeks. Following an initial 16-week dose titration phase, patients completed 48-weeks of treatment with CRYSVITA every 2 weeks. All 52 patients completed at least 64 weeks on study; no patient discontinued. Burosumab-twza dose was adjusted to target a fasting serum phosphorus concentration of 3.5 to 5.0 mg/dL based on the fasting phosphorus level the day of dosing. Twenty-six of 52 patients received CRYSVITA every two weeks up to a maximum dose of 2 mg/kg. The average dose was 0.73 mg/kg (range: 0.3, 1.5) at week 16, 0.98 mg/kg (range: 0.4, 2.0) at week 40 and 1.04 mg/kg (range: 0.4, 2.0) at week 60. The remaining 26 patients received CRYSVITA every four weeks. At study entry, the mean age of patients was 8.5 years and 46% were male. Ninety-six percent had received oral phosphate and active vitamin D analogs for a mean (SD) duration of 7 (2.4) years. Oral phosphate and active vitamin D analogs were discontinued prior to study enrollment. Ninety-four percent of patients had radiographic evidence of rickets at baseline.
- Study 2 (NCT 02750618) is a 64-week open-label study in 13 pediatric XLH patients, 1 to 4 years old. Patients received CRYSVITA at a dose of 0.8 mg/kg every two weeks with titration up to 1.2 mg/kg based on serum phosphorus measurements. All patients completed at least 40 weeks on study; no patients discontinued. At study entry, the mean age of patients was 2.9 years and 69% were male. All patients had radiographic evidence of rickets at baseline and had received oral phosphate and active vitamin D analogs for a mean (SD) duration of 16.9 (13.9) months. Oral phosphate and active vitamin D analogs were discontinued prior to study enrollment.
Serum Phosphorus
- In Study 1, CRYSVITA increased mean (SD) serum phosphorus levels from 2.4 (0.40) at baseline to 3.3 (0.40) and 3.4 (0.45) mg/dL at week 40 and week 64 in the patients who received CRYSVITA every 2 weeks (Figure 1). The ratio of renal tubular maximum reabsorption rate of phosphate to glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR) increased in these patients from mean (SD) of 2.2 (0.49) at baseline to 3.3 (0.60) and 3.4 (0.53) mg/dL at week 40 and week 64.
- In Study 2, CRYSVITA increased mean (SD) serum phosphorus levels from 2.5 (0.28) mg/dL at baseline to 3.5 (0.49) mg/dL at week 40.
![](/images/e/e1/Burosumab_Clinical_Studies_Table_1.png)
Radiographic Evaluation of Rickets
- Radiographs from 52 CRYSVITA-treated XLH patients in Study 1 and 13 patients in Study 2 were examined to assess XLH-related rickets using the 10-point Thacher Rickets Severity Score (RSS) and the 7-point Radiographic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C). The RSS score is assigned based on images of the wrist and knee from a single timepoint, with higher scores indicating greater rickets severity. The RGI-C score is assigned based on side-by-side comparisons of wrist and knee radiographs from two timepoints, with higher scores indicating greater improvement in radiographic evidence of rickets. A RGI-C score of +2.0 was defined as radiographic evidence of substantial healing.
- In Study 1, baseline mean (SD) RSS total score was 1.9 (1.17) in patients receiving CRYSVITA every two weeks. After 40 weeks of treatment with CRYSVITA, mean total RSS decreased from 1.9 to 0.8 (see Table 6). After 40 weeks of treatment with CRYSVITA, the mean RGI-C Global score was +1.7 in patients receiving CRYSVITA every two weeks. Eighteen out of 26 patients achieved an RGI-C score of ≥ +2.0. These findings were maintained at week 64 as shown in Table 6.
- In Study 2, baseline mean (SD) total RSS was 2.9 (1.37) in 13 patients. After 40 weeks of treatment with CRYSVITA, mean total RSS decreased from 2.9 to 1.2 and the mean (SE) RGI-C Global score was +2.3 (0.08). All 13 patients achieved a RGI-C global score ≥ +2.0. The mean (SE) lower limb deformity as assessed by RGI-C, using standing long leg radiographs, was +1.3 (0.14) (see Table 6).
![](/images/9/9c/Burosumab_Clinical_Studies_Table_2.png)
Serum Alkaline Phosphatase Activity
- For Study 1, mean (SD) serum total alkaline phosphatase activity was 462 (110) U/L at baseline and decreased to 354 (73) U/L at Week 64 (-23%, p < 0.0001) in the patients who received CRYSVITA every 2 weeks.
- For Study 2, mean (SD) serum total alkaline phosphatase activity was 549 (194) U/L at baseline and decreased to 335 (88) U/L at Week 40 (mean change: -36%).
Growth
- In Study 1, CRYSVITA treatment for 64 weeks increased standing mean (SD) height Z score from -1.72 (1.03) at baseline to -1.54 (1.13) in the patients who received CRYSVITA every two weeks (LS mean change of +0.19 (95% CI: 0.09 to 0.29).
Adult X-linked Hypophosphatemia
- Study 3 (NCT 02526160) is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 134 adult XLH patients. The study comprises a 24-week placebo-controlled treatment phase. CRYSVITA was administered at a dose of 1 mg/kg every 4 weeks. At study entry, the mean age of patients was 40 years (range 19 to 66 years) and 35% were male. All patients had skeletal pain associated with XLH/osteomalacia at baseline. The baseline mean (SD) serum phosphorus concentration was below the lower limit of normal at 1.98 (0.31) mg/dL. Oral phosphate and active vitamin D analogs were not allowed during the study. One patient in the CRYSVITA group discontinued treatment.
- Study 4 (NCT 02537431) is a 48-week, open-label, single-arm study in 14 adult XLH patients to assess the effects of CRYSVITA on improvement of osteomalacia as determined by histologic and histomorphometric evaluation of iliac crest bone biopsies. Patients received 1 mg/kg CRYSVITA every four weeks. At study entry, the mean age of patients was 40 years (range 25 to 52 years) and 43% were male. Oral phosphate and active vitamin D analogs were not allowed during the study.
Serum Phosphorus
- In Study 3 at baseline, mean (SD) serum phosphorus was 1.9 (0.32) and 2.0 (0.30) mg/dL in the placebo and CRYSVITA groups respectively. During the initial 24 weeks of treatment, mean (SD) serum phosphorus across the midpoints of dose intervals (2 weeks post dose) was 2.1 (0.30) and 3.2 (0.53) mg/dL in the placebo and CRYSVITA groups, and mean (SD) serum phosphorus across the ends of dose intervals was 2.0 (0.30) and 2.7 (0.45) mg/dL in the placebo and CRYSVITA groups.
- A total of 94% of patients treated with CRYSVITA achieved a serum phosphorus level above the lower limit of normal (LLN) compared to 8% in the placebo group through week 24 (Table 7).
![](/images/d/d5/Burosumab_Clinical_Studies_Table_3.png)
- At baseline, the mean (SD) ratio of renal tubular maximum reabsorption rate of phosphate to glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR) was 1.60 (0.37) and 1.68 (0.40) mg/dL in the placebo and CRYSVITA groups respectively. At week 22 (midpoint of a dose interval), mean (SD) TmP/GFR was 1.69 (0.37) and 2.73 (0.75) mg/dL in the placebo and CRYSVITA groups. At week 24 (end of a dose interval), mean (SD) TmP/GFR was 1.73 (0.42) and 2.21 (0.48) mg/dL in the placebo and CRYSVITA groups.
Radiographic Evaluation of Osteomalacia
- In Study 3, a skeletal survey was conducted at baseline to identify osteomalacia-related fractures and pseudofractures. Osteomalacia-related fractures are defined as atraumatic lucencies extending across both bone cortices and pseudofractures are defined as atraumatic lucencies extending across one cortex. There were 52% of patients who had either active (unhealed) fractures (12%) or active pseudofractures (47%) at baseline. The active fractures and pseudofractures were predominantly located in the femurs, tibia/fibula, and metatarsals of the feet. Assessment of these active fracture/pseudofracture sites at week 24 demonstrated a higher rate of complete healing in the CRYSVITA group compared to placebo as shown in Table 8. During treatment through week 24, a total of 6 new fractures or pseudofractures appeared in 68 patients receiving CRYSVITA, compared to 8 new abnormalities in 66 patients receiving placebo.

Bone Histomorphometry
- In Study 4, after 48 weeks of treatment, healing of osteomalacia was observed in ten patients as demonstrated by decreases in Osteoid volume/Bone volume (OV/BV) from a mean (SD) score of 26% (12.4) at baseline to 11% (6.5), a change of -57%. Osteoid thickness (O.Th) declined in eleven patients from a mean (SD) of 17 (4.1) micrometers to 12 (3.1) micrometers, a change of -33%. Mineralization lag time (MLt) declined in 6 patients from a mean (SD) of 594 (675) days to 156 (77) days, a change of -74%.
