New osteoporosis drug copycat tested in healthy women
NCT ID NCT07497503
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing whether a new drug called B-3E07 works the same as the approved osteoporosis drug Forsteo. 48 healthy adult women will receive a single injection of each drug in random order. The main goal is to compare how the body absorbs and processes the drugs, and to check for any safety issues.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- B-3E07 (a proposed biosimilar of teriparatide) and Forsteo (teriparatide)
- What this could lead to
- If B-3E07 is shown to be similar to Forsteo, it could become a more affordable option for treating osteoporosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 1 study in only 48 healthy volunteers, not patients. It only measures drug levels and safety, not whether the drug actually treats disease. Biosimilars can sometimes differ in effectiveness or side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Healthy adult Caucasian female volunteers, 18-45 years of age, inclusive, at the time of consent. 2. Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than (\>)18.5 and less than or equal to (\<=) 30.0 kilograms per square meter (kg/m\^2) (inclusive) at the time of screening. 3. Body weight greater than or equal to (\>=) 45.0 kilograms (kg) at the time of screening. 4. The participant is considered by the investigator to be in good general health, defined as absence of clinically significant illness or surgery within 4 weeks prior to dosing, and no clinically significant history of neurological, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, hematological, immunological, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, or metabolic disease as determined by medical history, clinical laboratory test results vital sign measurements (systolic blood pressure \[BP\] \>=90 millimiters of mercury \[mmHg\] and \<=145 mmHg, diastolic BP \>=50 mmHg and \<=95 mmHg), 12-lead ECG results, and physical examination findings at screening and check-in (congenital nonhaemolytic hyperbilirubinemia \[for example Gilbert's syndrome\] and/or abnormal findings without clinical significance are acceptable). 5. Absence of tattoos, scars, or any skin conditions, including infections or open wounds, or dermatitis at the injection site that could interfere with the evaluation of injection reaction. 6. All participants of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and check-in and must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception from screening through study completion and for 30 days after the last dose. Acceptable highly effective methods of contraception include intrauterine device (IUD)/ intrauterine system (IUS), bilateral tubal occlusion, exclusive relationship with a vasectomized partner with documented azoospermia, sexual abstinence (if this is the participant's usual lifestyle) or exclusively engaging in a same-sex relationship. Male partners of female participants should also use a condom. Hormonal methods for contraception (including a hormone-releasing intrauterine system such as Mirena) or double-barrier methods (e.g., male condom with diaphragm or cervical cap) are not permitted. 7. The participant must be able to comprehend and willing to sign an informed consent form (ICF) and to abide by the study restrictions. Participants must have signed an ICF before any study-related procedure or evaluation is performed. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Corrected serum calcium and/or alkaline phosphatase (ALP) above the upper limit of normal (ULN) at screening and check-in. 2. Clinically significant abnormal parathyroid hormone (PTH) level and/or total cholesterol above the upper limit of normal (ULN) range or 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25OH-Vit D) less than the lower limit of normal range at screening. 3. Haemoglobin less than (\<)12 grams per decilitre (g/dL) or haematocrit \<0.32, or there is any active bleeding at screening and at check-in. 4. Positive results for hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\] and total hepatitis B core antibody \[anti-HBc\]) at screening. Participants with immunity to hepatitis B from previous natural infection (defined as negative HBsAg, positive anti-HBc, and positive hepatitis B surface antibody \[anti-HBs\]) or vaccination (defined as negative HBsAg, negative anti-HBc, and positive anti-HBs) may be included in the study. 5. Positive results for hepatitis C (HCV) and/or Positive results for human immunodeficiency (HIV) at screening. 6. Positive urine drug screen (Amphetamine, Benzodiazepine, Cocaine, Methamphetamines, Opiates, Marijuana, Methylenedioxymethamphetamine, Buprenorphine, Alcohol, Fentanyl, Tramadol, Tricyclic Antidepressants, Barbiturates, Methadone, Oxycodone, Phencyclidine) -and/or positive breath alcohol test at screening and check-in. 7. Lactating or known pregnant or positive result for serum human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test at screening and at check-in. 8. Postmenopausal women. 9. History or presence of bone diseases including, but not limited to, Paget's disease of bone, bone carcinoma, metastases in the bone, metabolic bone disease, known osteoporosis (except for history of traumatic bone fracture at least 90 days prior to screening) at screening. 10.
