Brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to compare persistence with Prolia to persistence with weekly alendronate in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at 12 months. The clinical hypothesis is that denosumab 60 mg 6-monthly subcutaneous (Prolia) treatment will result in a higher proportion of patients being persistent at 12 months of treatment compared with 70 mg once weekly alendronate treatment in the 5 Asian-Pacific countries included in this study.
Interventions
Patients are postmenopausal women receiving treatment for osteoporosis in accordance with the approved local Prescribing Information in 5 Asia-Pacific countries where Prolia and alendronate are commercially available (Australia, Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Thailand). Patients will be enrolled in 1 of 2 treatment groups based on their current prescription: • Prolia 60 mg 6 monthly subcutaneous injections • alendronate 70 mg once weekly orally (branded, branded combination therapy, or generic) Enrollment period is expected to take approximately 24 months. Each patient will be followed for approximately 24 months from the time of enrollment to the end of study. The total duration of the study is expected to be about 4 years.
