Primary Outcome Measures:
- Change of Cross-linked N-telopeptide of Type I Collagen (NTx) Level Assessed as Standardized Area Under the Curve From Screening to Month 12 in the Intent-to-Treat Population [ Time Frame: Screening to end of study (Month 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The level of bone activity as measured by NTx over the course of 12 months was assessed using the standardized area under the curve. Blood samples were collected after an overnight fast of at least 8 hours between 7:00 and 11:00 AM at Screening and Months 1.5, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after baseline. Serum was analyzed at a central lab using commercially available ELISA kits. Standardized AUC was calculated by the AUC divided by the number of days the patient participated in the study.
- Change of Cross-linked N-telopeptide of Type I Collagen (NTx) Level Assessed as Standardized Area Under the Curve From Screening to Month 12 in the Per Protocol Population [ Time Frame: Screening to end of study (Month 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The level of bone activity as measured by NTx over the course of 12 months was assessed using the standardized area under the curve. Blood samples were collected after an overnight fast of at least 8 hours between 7:00 and 11:00 AM at Screening and Months 1.5, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after baseline. Serum was analyzed at a central lab using commercially available ELISA kits. Standardized AUC was calculated by the AUC divided by the number of days the patient participated in the study.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Change of Procollagen Type I Nitrogenous Propeptide (P1NP) Level Assessed as Standardized Area Under the Curve From Screening to Month 12 [ Time Frame: Screening to end of study (Month 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The level of bone activity as measured by P1NP over the course of 12 months was assessed using the standardized area under the curve. Blood samples were collected after an overnight fast of at least 8 hours between 7:00 and 11:00 AM at Screening and Months 1.5, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after baseline. Serum was analyzed at a central lab using commercially available ELISA kits. Standardized AUC was calculated by the AUC divided by the number of days the patient participated in the study.
- Change in the Qualeffo-41 Quality of Life (QoL) Questionnaire Score From Baseline to Month 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of study (Month 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The Qualeffo-41 QoL questionnaire was completed by the patient at Baseline and at Month 12. The questionnaire includes 41 questions covering 7 domains (pain, physical function and activities of daily living, physical function and jobs around the house, physical function and mobility, leisure and social activities, general health perception, mental function). Scores on each question range from 1 to 3, 4, or 5. The total score summed over all questions ranges from 41-205 points; the lower the score the higher the quality of life. A negative change score indicates improvement.
- Number of Patients With a Clinical Fracture From Baseline to Month 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of study (Month 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]A diagnosis of clinical fracture was based on physical examination findings, ie, swelling, tenderness, limited movement, pain.
- Change in Body Height From Baseline to Month 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of study (Month 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Body height was measured at Baseline and at the end of the study (Month 12) and the change in height calculated.
- Therapy Preference at End of Study (Month 12) [ Time Frame: Month 12 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Patients were administered a questionnaire at the end of the study in which they were asked which type of therapy, weekly oral or yearly iv, they preferred.

Experimental: Zoledronic acid 5 mg
Patients received zoledronic acid 5 mg in 100 ml solution in a 15 minute intravenous (iv) infusion once per year. The peripheral iv infusion was preceded by and followed by a 10 ml normal saline flush of the intravenous line. In addition to study therapy, all participants received 1200 mg elemental calcium and 800 IU of vitamin D daily. Calcium and vitamin D were supplied in a chewable tablet that was to be taken twice daily.
|
Drug: Zoledronic acid 5 mg solution
Zoledronic acid was supplied as a concentrate of 5.33 mg zoledronic acid monohydrate in a 100 ml solution. 5.33 mg zoledronic acid monohydrate equals 5 mg zoledronic acid.
Drug: Calcium/Vitamin D
Combined elemental calcium / vitamin D chewable tablets. Participants took 2 tablets a day, for a daily dose of calcium 1200 mg/vitamin D 800 IU.

|
Active Comparator: Alendronate 70 mg
Patients received an alendronate 70 mg tablet once weekly with 200 ml of tap water in the morning on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before the first meal. Patients were to remain in an upright position for 30 minutes after swallowing the tablet. In addition to study therapy, all participants received 1200 mg elemental calcium and 800 IU of vitamin D daily. Calcium and vitamin D were supplied in a chewable tablet that was to be taken twice daily.

Drug: Alendronate 70 mg tablets

Drug: Calcium/Vitamin D
Combined elemental calcium / vitamin D chewable tablets. Participants took 2 tablets a day, for a daily dose of calcium 1200 mg/vitamin D 800 IU.
