1. Study identification
EU PAS Register NumberEUPAS18117
Official titleAssessing the Incidence of Osteosarcoma Among Teriparatide Users Using Medicare Part D and State Cancer Registry Data
Study title acronymB3D-MC-GHBX Addendum 2.2
Study typeObservational study
Brief description of the studyThis population-based cohort study will utilize secondary data to compare the incidence of osteosarcoma among Forteo users aged 65 years and older with the incidence of osteosarcoma among nonusers aged 65 years and older. Exposure will be ascertained from prescription drug claims, and outcome will be ascertained through linkage with state cancer registries. Forteo users will be matched to nonusers based on demographic and baseline characteristics.

12. Main objective(s)
What is the main objective of the study?
To estimate the incidence rate ratio (IRR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of osteosarcoma for patients aged 65 years or older with a prescription claim for Forteo versus a cohort of matched comparators.

Cohort study
14. Follow-up of patients
Will patients be followed up?Not applicable/no follow-up
15. Data analysis plan
Please provide a brief summary of the analysis method
The primary objective of the study is to estimate the IRR and 95% CI of osteosarcoma for patients aged 65 years or older with a prescription claim for Forteo versus a matched comparison cohort with a prescription claim for a drug other than Forteo. The study uses Medicare Part D prescription drug data to identify the cohort of patients aged 65 years or older who have a claim for Forteo and a cohort of nonusers matched to the Forteo users by age, sex, 2- or 3- digit zip code, calendar month of the qualifying prescription, and number of unique therapeutic classes of
medications dispensed during the prior 4 months. The outcome of osteosarcoma will be ascertained by linkage of the Medicare Part D study files to the data files from state cancer registries.
