Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Percent change from baseline to Month 12 in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) as measured by DXA, to assess non-inferiority.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Percent change from baseline to Month 12 in total hip BMD, measured by DXA.;2. Percent change from baseline to Month 12 in femoral neck BMD, measured by DXA.;3. Percent change from baseline to Month 12 in serum bone turnover markers (C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen [CTX] and procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide [P1NP]), measured at Day 1 (pre-treatment) and Month 12.; Safety Endpoint(Incidence of adverse events (AEs) Discontinuation rate of investigational product (IP) due to AEs Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) Incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) Incidence of injection site reactions (e.g., erythema, pruritus, bleeding, pain, swelling) Vital signs (blood pressure, pulse rate) Laboratory test results)
