Recruitment Details The study was conducted at 270 centers in 41 countries globally from 04 May 2012 to 29 June 2017.
Pre-assignment Details Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive romosozumab or alendronate for 12 months. Randomization was stratified by age (< 75 vs. ≥ 75 years). After completion of the double-blind trial period, all participants received open-label alendronate until the end of the trial, with blinding to the initial treatment assignment maintained.
Arm/Group Title Alendronate/Alendronate Romosozumab/Alendronate
Hide Arm/Group Description Participants received 70 mg alendronate once a week and placebo to romosozumab subcutaneously once a month for the first 12 months. After completion of the 12-month double-blind treatment period participants continued to receive 70 mg alendronate once a week until the end of the study. Participants received 210 mg romosozumab subcutaneously once a month and placebo to alendronate orally once a week for the first 12 months.

Measure Description: A participant had a prevalent vertebral fracture if any vertebra from T4 to L4 had a grade of 3 at baseline based on an assessment of spinal radiographs using the Genant Semiquantitative Scoring Method. A grade 3 fracture is defined as approximately 40% or greater reduction in anterior, middle, and/or posterior height.

Measure Description: BMD was measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The T-score is a comparison of a person's bone density with that of a healthy 30-year-old of the same sex. Lower scores (more negative) mean lower bone density: A T-score of -2.5 or lower qualifies as osteoporosis and a T-score of -1.0 to - 2.5 signifies osteopenia, meaning below-normal bone density without full osteoporosis.
1.Primary Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants With New Vertebral Fractures Through Month 24
Hide Description

All fracture assessments were performed by blinded central imaging readers.

New vertebral fractures occurred when there was ≥ 1 grade increase from the previous grade of 0 in any vertebra from T4 to L4 using the Genant Semiquantitative Scoring method based on assessment of x-rays according to the following scale:

  • Grade 0 (Normal) = no fracture;
  • Grade 1 (Mild) = mild fracture, 20 to 25% reduction in vertebral height (anterior, middle, or posterior);
  • Grade 2 (Moderate) = moderate fracture, 25 to 40% reduction in anterior, middle, and/or posterior height;
  • Grade 3 (Severe) = severe fracture, greater than 40% reduction in anterior, middle, and/or posterior height.

Incident vertebral fractures were confirmed by a second independent reader using the Semiquantitative method.
