4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS

4.1 Therapeutic indications

Qutavina is indicated in adults.

Treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and in men at increased risk of fracture (see
section 5.1). In postmenopausal women, a significant reduction in the incidence of vertebral and non-
vertebral fractures but not hip fractures have been demonstrated.

Treatment of osteoporosis associated with sustained systemic glucocorticoid therapy in women and
men at increased risk for fracture (see section 5.1).

4.2 Posology and method of administration

Posology

The recommended dose of Qutavina is 20 micrograms administered once daily.

The maximum total duration of treatment with Qutavina should be 24 months (see section 4.4).
The 24-month course of Qutavina should not be repeated over a patient’s lifetime.

Patients should receive supplemental calcium and vitamin D supplements if dietary intake is
inadequate.

Special populations

Elderly patients
Dose adjustment based on age is not required (see section 5.2).

Renal impairment
Teriparatide must not be used in patients with severe renal impairment (see section 4.3). In patients
with moderate renal impairment, teriparatide should be used with caution (see section 4.4). No special
caution is required for patients with mild renal impairment.

Hepatic impairment
No data are available in patients with impaired hepatic function (see section 5.3). Therefore,
teriparatide should be used with caution.

Paediatric population and young adults with open epiphyses
The safety and efficacy of teriparatide in children and adolescents less than 18 years have not been
established. Teriparatide should not be used in paediatric patients (less than 18 years), or young adults
with open epiphyses.

Method of administration

Qutavina should be administered once daily by subcutaneous injection in the thigh or abdomen.

Patients must be trained to use the proper injection techniques (see section 6.6).
Please also refer to the user manual for instructions on the correct use of the pen.

4.3 Contraindications

 Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.
 Pregnancy and breast-feeding (see sections 4.4 and 4.6)
 Pre-existing hypercalcaemia
 Severe renal impairment
 Metabolic bone diseases (including hyperparathyroidism and Paget’s disease of the bone) other

than primary osteoporosis or glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.
 Unexplained elevations of alkaline phosphatase
 Prior external beam or implant radiation therapy to the skeleton
 Patients with skeletal malignancies or bone metastases should be excluded from treatment with

teriparatide.

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use

Traceability

In order to improve the traceability of biological medicinal products, the name and the batch number
of the administered product should be clearly recorded.

Serum and urine calcium

In normocalcaemic patients, slight and transient elevations of serum calcium concentrations have been
observed following teriparatide injection. Serum calcium concentrations reach a maximum between 4
and 6 hours and return to baseline by 16 to 24 hours after each dose of teriparatide. Therefore, if blood
samples for serum calcium measurements are taken, this should be done at least 16 hours after the
most recent Qutavina injection. Routine calcium monitoring during therapy is not required.

Teriparatide may cause small increases in urinary calcium excretion, but the incidence of
hypercalciuria did not differ from that in the placebo-treated patients in clinical trials.

Urolithiasis

Teriparatide has not been studied in patients with active urolithiasis. Qutavina should be used with
caution in patients with active or recent urolithiasis because of the potential to exacerbate this
condition.

Orthostatic hypotension

In short-term clinical studies with teriparatide, isolated episodes of transient orthostatic hypotension
were observed. Typically, an event began within 4 hours of dosing and spontaneously resolved within
a few minutes to a few hours. When transient orthostatic hypotension occurred, it happened within the
first several doses, was relieved by placing subjects in a reclining position, and did not preclude
continued treatment.

Renal impairment

Caution should be exercised in patients with moderate renal impairment (see section 4.2).

Younger adult population

Experience in the younger adult population, including premenopausal women, is limited (see
Section 5.1). Treatment should only be initiated if the benefit clearly outweighs risks in this
population.

Women of childbearing potential should use effective methods of contraception during use of
Qutavina. If pregnancy occurs, Qutavina should be discontinued.

Duration of treatment

Studies in rats indicate an increased incidence of osteosarcoma with long-term administration of
teriparatide (see section 5.3). Until further clinical data become available, the recommended treatment
time of 24 months should not be exceeded.

Excipients

This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose, that is to say essentially
‘sodium-free’.

4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

In a study of 15 healthy subjects administered digoxin daily to steady state, a single teriparatide dose
did not alter the cardiac effect of digoxin. However, sporadic case reports have suggested that
hypercalcaemia may predispose patients to digitalis toxicity. Because teriparatide transiently increases
serum calcium, Qutavina should be used with caution in patients taking digitalis.

Teriparatide has been evaluated in pharmacodynamic interaction studies with hydrochlorothiazide. No
clinically significant interactions were noted.

Co-administration of raloxifene or hormone replacement therapy with teriparatide did not alter the
effects of teriparatide on serum or urine calcium or on clinical adverse events.

Women of childbearing potential/Contraception in females

Women of childbearing potential should use effective methods of contraception during use of
Qutavina. If pregnancy occurs, Qutavina should be discontinued.

Pregnancy

Qutavina is contraindicated for use during pregnancy (see section 4.3).

Breast-feeding

Qutavina is contraindicated for use during breast-feeding (see section 4.3). It is not known whether
teriparatide is excreted in human milk.

Fertility

Studies in rabbits have shown reproductive toxicity (see section 5.3). The effect of teriparatide on
human foetal development has not been studied. The potential risk for humans is unknown.

4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines

Qutavina has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines. Transient, orthostatic
hypotension or dizziness was observed in some patients. These patients should refrain from driving or
the use of machines until symptoms have subsided.

4.8 Undesirable effects

Summary of the safety profile

The most commonly reported adverse reactions in patients treated with teriparatide are nausea, pain in
limb, headache and dizziness.

Tabulated list of adverse reactions

Of patients in the teriparatide trials, 82.8% of the teriparatide patients and 84.5% of the placebo
patients reported at least 1 adverse event.

The adverse reactions associated with the use of teriparatide in osteoporosis clinical trials and post-
marketing exposure are summarised in the table below.

The following convention has been used for the classification of the adverse reactions: very common
(≥1/10), common (≥1/100 to <1/10), uncommon (≥1/1,000 to <1/100), rare (≥1/10,000 to <1/1,000),

Description of selected adverse reactions

In clinical trials, the following reactions were reported at a ≥1% difference in frequency from placebo:
vertigo, nausea, pain in limb, dizziness, depression, dyspnoea.

Teriparatide increases serum uric acid concentrations. In clinical trials, 2.8% of teriparatide patients
had serum uric acid concentrations above the upper limit of normal compared with 0.7% of placebo
patients. However, the hyperuricemia did not result in an increase in gout, arthralgia, or urolithiasis.

Anti-drug antibodies were observed in line with other teriparatide containing medicinal products.
There was no evidence of hypersensitivity reactions, allergic reactions, effects on serum calcium, or
effects on Bone Mineral Density (BMD) response.

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions

Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It
allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare
professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system
listed in Appendix V.

4.9 Overdose

Signs and symptoms

Teriparatide has been administered in single doses of up to 100 micrograms and in repeated doses of
up to 60 micrograms/day for 6 weeks.

The effects of overdose that might be expected include delayed hypercalcaemia and risk of orthostatic
hypotension. Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and headache can also occur.

Overdose experience based on post-marketing spontaneous reports

In post-marketing spontaneous reports, there have been cases of medicinal product error where the
entire contents (up to 800 mcg) of the teriparatide pen have been administered as a single dose.
Transient events reported have included nausea, weakness/lethargy and hypotension. In some cases,
no adverse events occurred as a result of the overdose. No fatalities associated with overdose have
been reported.

Overdose management

There is no specific antidote for teriparatide. Treatment of suspected overdose should include
transitory discontinuation of Qutavina, monitoring of serum calcium, and implementation of
appropriate supportive measures, such as hydration.

5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Calcium homeostasis, parathyroid hormones and analogues, ATC code:
H05AA02.

Qutavina is a biosimilar medicinal product. Detailed information is available on the website

Mechanism of action

au
tho

ris
ed



8

Endogenous 84-amino-acid parathyroid hormone (PTH) is the primary regulator of calcium and
phosphate metabolism in bone and kidney. Teriparatide (rhPTH(1-34)) is the active fragment (1-34) of
endogenous human parathyroid hormone. Physiological actions of PTH include stimulation of bone
formation by direct effects on bone forming cells (osteoblasts) indirectly increasing the intestinal
absorption of calcium and increasing the tubular re-absorption of calcium and excretion of phosphate
by the kidney.

Pharmacodynamic effects

Teriparatide is a bone formation agent to treat osteoporosis. The skeletal effects of teriparatide depend
upon the pattern of systemic exposure. Once-daily administration of teriparatide increases apposition
of new bone on trabecular and cortical bone surfaces by preferential stimulation of osteoblastic
activity over osteoclastic activity.

Clinical efficacy and safety

Risk factors

Independent risk factors, for example, low BMD, age, the existence of previous fracture, family
history of hip fractures, high bone turnover and low body mass index should be considered in order to
identify women and men at increased risk of osteoporotic fractures who could benefit from treatment.

Premenopausal women with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis should be considered at high risk for
fracture if they have a prevalent fracture or a combination of risk factors that place them at high risk
for fracture (e.g., low bone density [e.g., T score ≤−2], sustained high dose glucocorticoid therapy
[e.g., ≥7.5 mg/day for at least 6 months], high underlying disease activity, low sex steroid levels).

Postmenopausal osteoporosis

The pivotal study included 1,637 postmenopausal women (mean age 69.5 years). At baseline, ninety
percent of the patients had one or more vertebral fractures, and on average, vertebral BMD was
0.82 g/cm2 (equivalent to a T score = - 2.6). All patients were offered 1,000 mg calcium per day and at
least 400 IU vitamin D per day. Results from up to 24 months (median: 19 months) treatment with
teriparatide demonstrate statistically significant fracture reduction (Table 1). To prevent one or more
new vertebral fractures, 11 women had to be treated for a median of 19 months.

After 19 months (median) treatment, bone mineral density (BMD) had increased in the lumbar spine
and total hip, respectively, by 9% and 4% compared with placebo (p<0.001).

Post-treatment management: Following treatment with teriparatide, 1,262 postmenopausal women
from the pivotal trial enrolled in a post-treatment follow-up study. The primary objective of the study
was to collect safety data of teriparatide. During this observational period, other osteoporosis
treatments were allowed and additional assessment of vertebral fractures was performed.

During a median of 18 months following discontinuation of teriparatide, there was a 41% reduction
(p=0.004) compared with placebo in the number of patients with a minimum of one new vertebral
fracture.

In an open-label study, 503 postmenopausal women with severe osteoporosis and a fragility fracture
within the previous 3 years (83% had received previous osteoporosis therapy) were treated with
teriparatide for up to 24 months. At 24 months, the mean increase from baseline in lumbar spine, total
hip and femoral neck BMD was 10.5%, 2.6% and 3.9% respectively. The mean increase in BMD from
18 to 24 months was 1.4%, 1.2%, and 1.6% at the lumbar spine, total hip and femoral neck,
respectively.

A 24-month, randomised, double-blind, comparator-controlled Phase 4 study included 1,360
postmenopausal women with established osteoporosis. 680 subjects were randomised to teriparatide
and 680 subjects were randomised to oral risedronate 35 mg/week. At baseline, the women had a mean
age of 72.1 years and a median of 2 prevalent vertebral fractures; 57.9% of patients had received
previous bisphosphonate therapy and 18.8% took concomitant glucocorticoids during the study. 1,013
(74.5%) patients completed the 24-month follow-up. The mean (median) cumulative dose of
glucocorticoid was 474.3 (66.2) mg in the teriparatide arm and 898.0 (100.0) mg in the risedronate
arm. The mean (median) vitamin D intake for the teriparatide arm was 1,433 IU/day (1,400 IU/day)
and for the risedronate arm was 1,191 IU/day (900 IU/day). For those subjects who had baseline and
follow-up spine radiographs, the incidence of new vertebral fractures was 28/516 (5.4%) in
teriparatide- and 64/533 (12.0%) in risedronate-treated patients, relative risk (95% CI) = 0.44 (0.29-
0.68), P<0.0001. The cumulative incidence of pooled clinical fractures (clinical vertebral and non-
vertebral fractures) was 4.8% in teriparatide and 9.8% in risedronate-treated patients, hazard ratio
(95% CI) = 0.48 (0.32-0.74), P=0.0009

Male osteoporosis

437 patients (mean age 58.7 years) were enrolled in a clinical trial for men with hypogonadal (defined
as low morning free testosterone or an elevated FSH or LH) or idiopathic osteoporosis. Baseline spinal
and femoral neck bone mineral density mean T-scores were -2.2 and -2.1, respectively. At baseline,
35% of patients had a vertebral fracture and 59% had a non-vertebral fracture.

All patients were offered 1,000 mg calcium per day and at least 400 IU vitamin D per day. Lumbar
spine BMD significantly increased by 3 months. After 12 months, BMD had increased in the lumbar
spine and total hip by 5% and 1%, respectively, compared with placebo. However, no significant
effect on fracture rates was demonstrated.

Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis

The efficacy of teriparatide in men and women (N=428) receiving sustained systemic glucocorticoid
therapy (equivalent to 5 mg or greater of prednisone for at least 3 months) was demonstrated in the 18-
month primary phase of a 36 month, randomised, double-blind, comparator-controlled study
(alendronate 10 mg/day). Twenty-eight percent of patients had one or more radiographic vertebral
fractures at baseline. All patients were offered 1,000 mg calcium per day and 800 IU vitamin D per
day.

This study included postmenopausal women (N=277), premenopausal women (N=67), and men
(N=83). At baseline, the postmenopausal women had a mean age of 61 years, mean lumbar spine
BMD T score of −2.7, median prednisone equivalent dose of 7.5 mg/day, and 34% had one or more
radiographic vertebral fractures; premenopausal women had a mean age of 37 years, mean lumbar
spine BMD T score of −2.5, median prednisone equivalent dose of 10 mg/day, and 9% had one or
more radiographic vertebral fractures; and men had a mean age of 57 years, mean lumbar spine BMD
T score of −2.2, median prednisone equivalent dose of 10 mg/day, and 24% had one or more
radiographic vertebral fractures.

Sixty-nine percent of patients completed the 18-month primary phase. At the 18-month endpoint,
teriparatide significantly increased lumbar spine BMD (7.2%) compared with alendronate (3.4%)
(p<0.001). Teriparatide increased BMD at the total hip (3.6%) compared with alendronate (2.2%)
(p<0.01), as well as at the femoral neck (3.7%) compared with alendronate (2.1%) (p<0.05). In
patients treated with teriparatide, lumbar spine, total hip and femoral neck BMD increased between 18
and 24 months by an additional 1.7%, 0.9%, and 0.4%, respectively.

At 36 months, analysis of spinal X-rays from 169 alendronate patients and 173 teriparatide patients
showed that 13 patients in the alendronate group (7.7%) had experienced a new vertebral fracture
compared with 3 patients in the teriparatide group (1.7%) (p=0.01). In addition, 15 of 214 patients in
the alendronate group (7.0%) had experienced a non-vertebral fracture compared with 16 of 214
patients in the teriparatide group (7.5%) (p=0.84).

In premenopausal women, the increase in BMD from baseline to 18 months endpoint was significantly
greater in the teriparatide group compared with the alendronate group at the lumbar spine (4.2% versus
−1.9%; p<0.001) and total hip (3.8% versus 0.9%; p=0.005). However, no significant effect on
fracture rates was demonstrated.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties

Distribution

The volume of distribution is approximately 1.7 L/kg. The half-life of teriparatide is approximately 1
hour when administered subcutaneously, which reflects the time required for absorption from the
injection site.

Biotransformation

No metabolism or excretion studies have been performed with teriparatide but the peripheral
metabolism of parathyroid hormone is believed to occur predominantly in liver and kidney.

Elimination

Teriparatide is eliminated through hepatic and extra-hepatic clearance (approximately 62 L/hr in
women and 94 L/hr in men).

Elderly

No differences in teriparatide pharmacokinetics were detected with regard to age (range 31 to 85
years). Dosage adjustment based on age is not required.

5.3 Preclinical safety data

Teriparatide was not genotoxic in a standard battery of tests. It produced no teratogenic effects in rats,
mice or rabbits. There were no important effects observed in pregnant rats or mice administered
teriparatide at daily doses of 30 to 1,000 μg/kg. However, fetal resorption and reduced litter size
occurred in pregnant rabbits administered daily doses of 3 to 100 μg/kg. The embryotoxicity observed

Med
icin

du
ct 

no
 lo

ng
er 

au
tho

ris
ed



11

in rabbits may be related to their much greater sensitivity to the effects of PTH on blood ionised
calcium compared with rodents.

Rats treated with near-life time daily injections had dose-dependent exaggerated bone formation and
increased incidence of osteosarcoma most probably due to an epigenetic mechanism. Teriparatide did
not increase the incidence of any other type of neoplasia in rats. Due to the differences in bone
physiology in rats and humans, the clinical relevance of these findings is probably minor. No bone
tumours were observed in ovariectomised monkeys treated for 18 months or during a 3-year follow-up
period after treatment cessation. In addition, no osteosarcomas have been observed in clinical trials or
during the post treatment follow-up study.

Animal studies have shown that severely reduced hepatic blood flow decreases exposure of PTH to the
principal cleavage system (Kupffer cells) and consequently clearance of PTH (1-84).

1. What Qutavina is and what it is used for

Qutavina contains the active substance teriparatide that is used to make the bones stronger, and to
reduce the risk of fractures by stimulating bone formation.

Qutavina is used to treat osteoporosis in adults. Osteoporosis is a disease that causes your bones to
become thin and fragile. This disease is especially common in women after the menopause, but it can
also occur in men. Osteoporosis is also common in patients receiving corticosteroids.

section 6).
 if you suffer from high calcium levels (pre-existing hypercalcaemia).
 if you suffer from serious kidney problems.
 if you have ever been diagnosed with bone cancer or other cancers that have spread

(metastasised) to your bones.
 if you have certain bone diseases. If you have a bone disease, tell your doctor.
 if you have unexplained high levels of alkaline phosphatase in your blood, which means you

might have Paget’s disease of bone (disease with abnormal bone changes). If you are not sure,
ask your doctor.

 if you have had radiation therapy involving your bones.
 if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution

A The yellow shaft is still showing after
pushing in the black injection button.
How do I reset my Qutavina?

To reset the Qutavina pen follow the steps below:
1) If you have already injected, DO NOT inject yourself
a second time on the same day. Use a new needle for
your injection on the following day.
2) Remove the needle.
3) Attach a new needle, pull off the large needle cover
and save it.
4) Pull off the inner needle cover and throw away.
5) Point the needle down into an empty container. Push
in the black injection button until it stops. Hold it in and
slowly count to 5 s-l-o-w-l-y. You may see a small
stream or drop of fluid. When you have finished, the
black injection button should be all the way in.
6) If you still see the yellow shaft showing, do not use
this pen; your doctor or pharmacist.
7) Put the large needle cover on needle. Unscrew the
needle all the way by giving the needle cover 3 to 5
complete turns. Pull off needle cover and throw away as
directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Push the white
cap back on, and put your Qutavina in the refrigerator.

You can prevent this problem by always using a NEW
needle for each injection, and by pushing the black
injection button all the way in and slowly counting to
5 s-l-o-w-l-y.

B How can I tell if my Qutavina works? The Qutavina is designed to inject the full dose every
time it is used according to the directions in the section
Instructions for Use.
The black injection button should be all the way in to
show that the full dose of medicine has been injected
from the Qutavina. Use a new needle every time you
inject to be sure your Qutavina will work properly.

C I see an air bubble in my Qutavina. A small air bubble will not affect your dose and it will
not harm you. You can continue to use your dose as
usual.

D I cannot get the needle off. 1) Put the large needle cover on the needle.
2) Use the large needle cover to unscrew the needle.

Med
icin

33

3) Unscrew the needle all the way by giving the large
needle cover 3 to 5 counter-clockwise turns.
4) If you still cannot get the needle off, ask someone to
help you.
See step 9 “Remove needle and dispose”.

E What should I do if I cannot pull out
the black injection button?

Change to a new Qutavina pen to use your dose as
instructed by your doctor or pharmacist.
When the black injection button becomes hard to pull
out, this means there is not enough medicine in your
Qutavina pen for another dose. You may still see some
medicine left in the cartridge.

Cleaning and storage
Cleaning your Qutavina pen

 Wipe the outside of the Qutavina with a damp cloth.
 Do not place the Qutavina in water, or wash or clean it with any liquid.

Storing your Qutavina pen
 Read and follow the instructions in the Information for the Patient leaflet on how to store your

pen.
 DO NOT store the Qutavina with a needle attached. Doing this may affect the sterility of the

medicine during subsequent injections.
 Store the Qutavina with the white cap on.

If the Qutavina has been left out of the refrigerator, do not throw the pen away. Place the pen
back in the refrigerator and contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Disposal information
Disposal of pen needles and Qutavina pen

 Before disposing of the Qutavina pen, be sure to remove the pen needle.
 Put used needles in a sharps container or a hard-plastic container with a secure lid. Do not

throw needles directly into your household waste.
 Do not recycle the filled sharps container.

Other important notes
 DO NOT transfer the medicine into a syringe.
 During injection, you may hear one or more clicks – this is normal pen operation
 The Qutavina is not recommended for use by the blind or visually impaired persons without

the assistance from a person trained in the proper use of the pen.
