1. Study identification
EU PAS Register NumberEUPAS10888
Official titleNon-interventional study with Binosto 70 mg effervescent tablets once weekly investigating gastro-intestinal events and medication errors
Study title acronymGastro-PASS
Study typeObservational study
Brief description of the studyBinosto (effervescent alendronate) has been developed with the aim of further reducing the risk of esophageal irritation, incl. the risk of tablet adhesion to the esophagus wall. In addition it is the aim to provide a convenient dosage form that would ensure better compliance across the patient population. The safety profile of Binosto will be evaluated in a real-life setting. The present study will investigate the upper gastrointestinal adverse events and medication errors associated with once weekly administration of Binosto.

11. Scope of the study
What is the scope of the study?
Risk assessment
Primary scope : Risk assessment
12. Main objective(s)
What is the main objective of the study?
The main objective of the study is to investigate known safety concerns (oesophageal toxicity, gastritis, gastric ulcers, duodenitis) and medication errors of the class of oral bisphosphonates, which may be relevant for the new product, alendronic acid 70 mg effervescent tablets (Binosto), which represents a new pharmaceutical formulation of alendronate.
Are there primary outcomes?Yes
To calculate the cumulative incidence of GI ADRs (individual reactions and composite events*) of Binosto.
Co-primary objective: To calculate the percentage of patients with medication errors of Binosto.
Are there secondary outcomes?Yes
- To evaluate persistence, discontinuation and reason, and compliance with SmPC.
- To compare the frequency of upper GI AEs collected in the prospective cohort with historical upper GI AEs in a cohort of patients on Alendronate 70mg.
- To calculate the incidence rate of Binosto individual gastric AEs.
13. Study design
What is the design of the study?
Cohort study
14. Follow-up of patients
Will patients be followed up?Yes
Please describe duration of follow up
Up to 15 months
15. Data analysis plan
Please provide a brief summary of the analysis method
Analyses will be mainly descriptive for the overall study population and subgroups. Comparisons will be made at baseline between with Binosto and the non-concurrent cohort. For the longitudinal phase, the cumulative incidence (proportion) of the primary and secondary endpoints will be calculated with 95% confidence intervals. Univariate study of differences between with Binosto and the non-concurrent cohort will be made in the frequency and incidence of upper gastrointestinal adverse events, using chi-square tests and relative incidence rates with 95% confidence intervals. The proportion (and 95% confidence intervals) of subjects with medication errors will be calculated.
Persistence and discontinuation will be analysed using Kaplan-Meier curves. The incidence rates and their 95% confidence interval for solicited individual gastric AEs, at each of the three follow up visits and, globally, at the end of the prospective study, will be calculated.
