Objective: Establish a biomarker panel associated with all-cause total joint replacement (TJR) through identification of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) who do or do not progress to TJR and investigate effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Design: Serum samples from patients enrolled in phase III trials of tanezumab who experienced TJR (n = 174) or matched patients who did not (n = 321) were analyzed for bone, cartilage, soft tissue, and inflammation markers. Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis was used to identify biomarker phenotypes associated with TJR.
Results: At baseline, biomarker combinations for patients who did not use NSAIDs before starting tanezumab and used NSAIDs during tanezumab treatment
Conclusions: Although validation on other cohorts is necessary, biomarkers may assist in identifying patients who will need TJR. The profiles suggest NSAID use increases importance of bone metabolism in TJR pathology.
