During the follow-up period, subjects will be followed for an additional 3 months to ensure appropriate follow-up for anti-romosozumab antibody formation and adverse events. The primary analysis will be performed after all subjects have had the opportunity to complete the Month 6 visit. The final analysis will be performed after all subjects have had the opportunity to complete the Month 9 visit. |

- Percent Change From Baseline in Lumbar Spine BMD at Month 6 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6 ]Percent change from baseline in BMD at the lumbar spine as measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
- Percent Change From Baseline in Total Hip BMD at Month 6 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6 ]Percent change from baseline in BMD for total hip as measured by DXA.
- Percent Change From Baseline in Femoral Neck BMD at Month 6 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6 ]Percent change from baseline in BMD at femoral neck as measured by DXA.
- Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Device-Related AEs, Discontinuations Due to AEs, and Deaths [ Time Frame: up to Month 9 (-7/+3 days) ]AE: any untoward medical occurrence irrespective of a causal relationship with the study treatment. SAE: any untoward medical occurrence that meets at least 1 of the following criteria: results in death; is immediately life-threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is a medically important serious event. Adverse device effect: any AE related to the use of a combination product or medical device. TEAEs are those AEs occurring after first dose of study drug.
- Number of Participants Developing Anti-Romosozumab Antibodies [ Time Frame: up to Month 9 (-7/+3 days) ]Participants with a negative or no result at baseline (BL) developing anti-romosozumab antibodies postbaseline, including those who were binding antibody-positive or neutralizing antibody-positive postbaseline. 'Transient' positive results are those with a negative result at the participant's last time point tested within the study period.

- Current clinical hypothyroidism (unless well controlled on stable thyroid replacement therapy) by subject report or by chart review, per principal investigator evaluation normal range, per subject medical history. Uncontrolled hyperparathyroidism is defined as: parathyroid hormone (PTH) outside the normal range in subjects with concurrent hypercalcemia; or PTH values > 20% above the upper limit of normal (ULN) in normocalcemic subjects.
- Current hyper- or hypocalcemia, defined as albumin-adjusted serum calcium outside the normal range, as assessed by the central laboratory. Serum calcium levels may be retested once in case of an elevated serum calcium level within 1.1x the ULN as assessed by the central laboratory
