Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Setrusumab (BPS-804) is a fully human investigational monoclonal antibody targeting sclerostin (SOST; which is a negative regulator of bone formation), that is intended to improve bone density.
Development of anti-sclerostin antibodies by Novartis is claimed in patent WO2009047356 [2], although we cannot definitively conclude that BPS-804 is claimed within that patent application.
The potential of sclerostin as a therapeutic target in bone diseases is reviewed by Lewiecki (2014) [3].

Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
BPS-804 has completed Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta, a.k.a. brittle bone syndrome (NCT01417091). Development for hypophosphatasia and postmenopausal osteoporosis has been discontinued. The agent has both U.S. and EU orphan drug designation for osteogenesis imperfecta.
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
BPS-804 binds to sclerostin, an osteocyte protein which normally inhibits Wnt signalling and decreases bone formation by osteoblasts [1,5] as part of the regulatory system controlling bone mass equilibrium. Neutralisation of sclerostin activity leads to improved bone formation in animal models, as reported for another anti-sclerostin antibody, romosozumab [4,6].
