Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Postmenopausal Osteoporosis | Drug: Romosozumab 90 mg/mL Drug: Placebo 90 mg/mL Drug: Romosozumab 70 mg/mL Drug: Placebo 70 mg/mL | Phase 3 |
Upon confirmation of eligibility, participants were randomized in a 22:5:22:5 ratio to the following treatment groups:
- Romosozumab 90 mg/mL
- Placebo 90 mg/mL
- Romosozumab 70 mg/mL
- Placebo 70 mg/mL
After completing a 6-month treatment period, participants entered a 3-month follow-up period with an end of study (EOS) at month 9.
For the analysis of efficacy endpoints, the 2 placebo groups were combined into a single placebo group. For safety analyses, the data for placebo were presented separately for each group.

Experimental: Romosozumab 90 mg/mL
Participants received 210 mg romosozumab monthly, administered as 2 subcutaneous (SC) 1.17 mL injections of a 90 mg/mL solution, for 6 months.
|
Drug: Romosozumab 90 mg/mL
Administered as 2 SC injections of a 90 mg/mL concentration in a 1.17 mL crystal zenith resin prefilled syringe (PFS).
Other Names:

Experimental: Placebo 90 mg/mL
Participants received matching placebo administered as 2 subcutaneous injections of 1.17 mL every month for 6 months.
|
Drug: Placebo 90 mg/mL
Placebo administered as 2 SC injections with the 1.17 mL crystal zenith resin PFS. |
Experimental: Romosozumab 70 mg/mL
Participants received 210 mg romosozumab monthly, administered as 3 subcutaneous 1.0 mL injections of a 70 mg/mL solution, for 6 months.
|
Drug: Romosozumab 70 mg/mL
Administered as 3 SC injections of a 70 mg/mL concentration in a 1.0 mL glass PFS.

- Percent Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at the Lumbar Spine [ Time Frame: Baseline and month 6 ]Bone mineral density was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
- Percent Change From Baseline in Total Hip BMD [ Time Frame: Baseline and month 6 ]Total hip BMD was measured using DXA. The analysis was based on an ANCOVA model adjusted for treatment and baseline total hip BMD T-score.
- Percent Change From Baseline in Femoral Neck BMD [ Time Frame: Baseline and month 6 ]Femoral neck BMD was measured using DXA. The analysis was based on an ANCOVA model adjusted for treatment and baseline femoral neck BMD T-score.
- Percent Change From Baseline in N-Terminal Propeptide Type 1 Procollagen (P1NP) [ Time Frame: Baseline, month 1, month 3, and month 6 ]
- Percent Change From Baseline in Serum C-Telopeptide (CTX) [ Time Frame: Baseline, month 1, month 3, and month 6 ]
