Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Subject or subject’s legally acceptable representative has provided informed consent prior to any study specific procedure(s) - Ambulatory postmenopausal women. Ambulatory is defined as women who are able to walk, not bedridden; postmenopause is defined as no vaginal bleeding or spotting for at least 12 months prior to screening. - Age 55 years or older - Received oral bisphosphonate therapy for OP for at least 2 years immediately prior to screening visit - Screening BMD (g/cm2) values at the lumbar spine, total hip or femoral neck; values of equal to or less than those listed in the protocol. Eligibility will be determined by a local reading of the DXAs at the investigator site. At least 2 lumbar vertebrae and one hip must be evaluable by DXA at the screening visit. - Serum CTX value of = 0.5 ng/mL at the screening visit as determined by central laboratory Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 180 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 440

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate if the effect of administering denosumab (60 mg subcutaneously [SC] every 6 months [Q6M]) is not inferior to that of zoledronic acid (5 mg intravenously [IV] once yearly) in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis previously treated with oral bisphosphonates with respect to change in bone mineral density (BMD) by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of lumbar spine at 12 months.;Secondary Objective: Compare the efficacy of administering denosumab (60 mg SC Q6M), with that of zoledronic acid (5 mg IV once yearly), on the following: • BMD by DXA of total hip at 12 months (non - inferiority) • BMD by DXA of lumbar spine at 12 months (superiority) • BMD by DXA of total hip at 12 months (superiority);Primary end point(s): Primary Endpoint: • percent change from baseline in lumbar spine BMD at month 12 (non-inferiority);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Month 12

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary Endpoints: • percent change from baseline in total hip BMD at month 12 (non-inferiority) • percent change from baseline in lumbar spine BMD at month 12 (superiority) • percent change from baseline in total hip BMD at month 12 (superiority);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Month 12
