| Relative Change From Baseline at One Year (12 Months) in Mean Lumbar Spine (L2 - L4) Bone Mineral Density | From Baseline (Month 0) to Month 12 | Relative change in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is the percentage change from baseline of BMD of vertebrae L2 - L4 that are not fractured and not affected by an osteoarthritic process to such a degree that accurate measurement of BMD would be considered jeopardized by the central reading center after 12 months of treatment. It is calculated as the sum of bone mineral content divided by the sum of area of all lumbar vertebrae L2 - L4 that are not fractured and not affected by an osteoarthritic process at Month 12. Participants available at particular time point for assessment were included in the analysis. |

Outcome results
Relative Change From Baseline at One Year (12 Months) in Mean Lumbar Spine (L2 - L4) Bone Mineral Density
Relative change in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is the percentage change from baseline of BMD of vertebrae L2 - L4 that are not fractured and not affected by an osteoarthritic process to such a degree that accurate measurement of BMD would be considered jeopardized by the central reading center after 12 months of treatment. It is calculated as the sum of bone mineral content divided by the sum of area of all lumbar vertebrae L2 - L4 that are not fractured and not affected by an osteoarthritic process at Month 12. Participants available at particular time point for assessment were included in the analysis.

Number of Participants With Any Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Event
An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, are life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or results in disability/incapacity, and congenital anomaly/birth defect.
Time frame: Up to Month 24
Population: The safety population consisted of all participants who were randomized and received at least one dose of the study medication, and who have at least one follow-up data point.

Number Of Participants With Marked Laboratory Abnormalities
Marked laboratory abnormalities were defined as those values that were outside the reference range and showed a clinically relevant change from baseline. The reference range for hemoglobin was 110-200 (gram per liter \[g/L\]), hematocrit was 0.31-0.56 fraction, white blood cells (WBC) was 3.0-18.0 (10\*9/L), serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT/ALT) was 0-110 IU/L, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) was 0.0-14.3 (millimoles per Liter \[mmol/L\]), Chloride was 95-115 (mmol/L), Potassium was 3.0 - 6.0 (mmol/L), Sodium was 130-150 (mmol/L), Calcium was 2.00-2.90 (mmol/L), Phosphate was 0.75 - 1.60 (mmol/L) and Creatinine was 0- 154 (micromoles/liter \[umol/L\].
Time frame: Up to Month 24
Population: The safety population consisted of all participants who were randomized and received at least one dose of the study medication, and who have at least one follow-up data point. n = number of participants evaluable at particular time of assessment.

Relative Change From Baseline at Two Years (24 Months) in Mean Lumbar Spine (L2-L4) BMD
Relative change in BMD is the percentage change from baseline of BMD of vertebrae L2 - L4 that are not fractured and not affected by an osteoarthritic process to such a degree that accurate measurement of BMD would be considered jeopardized by the central reading center after 24 months of treatment. It is calculated as the sum of bone mineral content divided by the sum of area of all lumbar vertebrae L2 - L4 that are not fractured and not affected by an osteoarthritic process at Month 24.
Time frame: From Baseline (Month 0) to Month 24
Population: The PP population consisted of all participants in the ITT population who had no major violations of the protocol.Participants available at particular time point for assessment were included in the analysis.
