Current OI Studies and Publications

Participation in OI research helps advance the scientific understanding of OI so that more and better treatments can be made available to the OI community. Take a look at OI studies and recent OI publications below.


CURRENT OI STUDIES


Supporting research is an important part of the OI Foundation’s mission. Often, the success of clinical studies of a rare disorder like osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) depends on getting enough people to participate in the study so the results are meaningful. People who are interested in participating in a clinical trial are encouraged to review the fact sheet What You Need to Know about Clinical Trials. Additional information about research studies can be found on www.clinicaltrials.gov.

The following studies are currently enrolling participants:

Disclaimer: The OI Foundation is not involved in the design or management of this research, and as such, is neither endorsing nor supporting these studies. The mission of the OIF is to keep the OI community informed of all relevant studies. This information is made available as a service to the OI community.

7707: Use of clear aligners for the treatment of dental malocclusion in individuals with Osteogenesis Imperfecta Types III and IV (Brittle Bone Disorders Consortium)

The purpose of this study is to determine if it is safe to use Invisalign clear aligners in correcting the misalignment of teeth in people with OI. Clear aligners are transparent plastic trays that are designed to fit over your teeth. With each new tray, teeth are moved a little at a time until they reach the desired position. We plan to have approximately 57 people take part in this study.

For more information, please contact Dianne Nguyen (BBDC Project Manager) at (713)798-6694 or diannen@bcm.edu. For more information about current studies through the Brittle Bones Disorders Consortium (BBDC), visit the BBDC webpage.

7708: Cardiopulmonary Outcomes in Osteogenesis Imperfecta

The purpose of this study is to understand the cause of the restrictive pulmonary physiology in the OI population. Respiratory insufficiency is the leading cause of death in patients with OI.

In order to participate, you must contact the study coordinator of any of the participating institutions by phone or by e-mail. Please find more information here.

7710: Pregnancy in Osteogenesis Imperfecta – Part 2: Complications in pregnancy and postpartum

UCLA is conducting a Pregnancy in OI Study to classify and interpret the rates of cesarean delivery(c-section), hemorrhage, and fractures in women with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) during pregnancy. This study is addressing the currently limited data on pregnancy in women with OI. Participants will be asked to connect over the phone with a researcher and complete an online survey about their pregnancy experiences.

If you have any questions or are interested in participating, please call at (310) 206-7176 or email at uclaoistudies@mednet.ucla.edu. For more information about current studies through the Brittle Bones Disorders Consortium (BBDC), visit the BBDC webpage.

Poise 1 (Sanofi)

Sanofi is conducting an early phase study in adults with OI Types I and IV with an anti-TGFb antibody called SAR439459. This study is called Poise 1 and is a Phase 1 study*. This study involves a single administration of SAR439459 given intravenously (IV) into the arm, with a 6-month follow period. At this early stage in development, Sanofi is recruiting a limited range of study participants but we do anticipate expanding enrollment criteria in future studies. Participants in the Poise 1 study are not likely to experience benefits from SAR439459, and 25% will receive a placebo, but all participants will help with the scientific understanding of OI and SAR439459 as we prepare for future long-term studies. The study also includes digital, non-invasive strategies to better understand how OI patients move and are active throughout the day.

All participants will be reimbursed for travel and accommodations involved in visiting study sites during the study duration, including airfare for those who are not within driving distance of a study site.  Please see the study brochure for more information about where the study sites are located and for references to the information given above.

If you have any questions about this study, you may email Contact-US@sanofi.com or call 800-633-1610, ext option 6 (Toll free for US & Canada).

Ultragenyx Studies

Two clinical studies investigating setrusumab for the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) in pediatric and young adults are currently enrolling participants. The goal of these studies, ORBIT and COSMIC, is to determine whether setrusumab can safely and effectively restore bone production. If it works, this treatment could impact individuals living with OI in an important way—potentially making bones stronger, reducing fractures, and growing new bone. Below are snapshots of both studies.

ORBIT Study

  • Phase 3 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of setrusumab vs. placebo
  • Currently enrolling patients aged 5 to 26 years old with OI types I, III, and IV
  • Must be willing to not receive bisphosphonate therapy during the study
    ***On October 14, 2023, Ultragenyx announced Interim data from the Phase 2 portion of the Orbit study, which showed that treatment with setrusumab reduced incidence of fractures in patients with OI by 67% following at least 6 months of treatment and demonstrated improvements in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD). CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL PRESS RELEASE

COSMIC Study

  • Phase 3 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of setrusumab vs. IV bisphosphonates
  • Currently enrolling patients aged 2 but less than 5 years old with OI types I, III, and IV

In both clinical studies, every patient will receive expert medical care from a study team that has experience with OI. The study team will include doctors and nurses who work with people living with OI and understand their needs and concerns. The top priority will always be the health of the patient. All medical care that is part of the study will be provided at no cost.

Dr. Alison Skrinar (Ultragenyx) joined OIF Board Member Dr. Michelle Fynan to discuss setrusumab and the clinical trial process. Click here to watch this video. To help you decide whether ORBIT or COSMIC are right for you or your child, please contact OIStudyInfo@Ultragenyx.com or visit www.ultraclinicaltrials.com for more information.
