MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Lens Opacification Event Development or Progression by Month 1212 monthsThe Lens Opacities Classification System III (LOCS III) is a slit lamp based opacification grading method. Photographs of slit lamp cross-sections of the lens are used as references for grading nuclear opalescence (NO) and nuclear color (NC), and photographs of the lens seen by retroillumination are used as references for grading cortical (C) and posterior subcapsular (P) cataract. Opacification severity is graded on a decimal scale, scores can range from 0.1 to 6.9 for NO and NC and from 0.1 to 5.9 for C and P. For each opacification type the higher grading scores indicate greater severity. Lens opacification event development or progression by month 12 was based on a change of ≥ 1.0 in P, ≥ 1.0 in C, or ≥ 0.7 in NO in the LOCS III score from baseline.

BCVA was assessed by a trained ophthalmologist using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) eye chart at 4 meters. The modified University of Crete ETDRS chart was used in Ukraine, Greece, Russia and Bulgaria, which do not use the Roman alphabet. The 2000 series revised ETDRS chart was used to assess the change in all other countries. The letter score was calculated based on the number of letters that were correctly identified; higher letter scores correspond to better visual acuity.

Treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) include only events for which the investigator indicated there was a reasonable possibility they may have been caused by the study drug.

Percentage of Participants With Lens Opacification Event Development or Progression by Month 12

The Lens Opacities Classification System III (LOCS III) is a slit lamp based opacification grading method. Photographs of slit lamp cross-sections of the lens are used as references for grading nuclear opalescence (NO) and nuclear color (NC), and photographs of the lens seen by retroillumination are used as references for grading cortical (C) and posterior subcapsular (P) cataract. Opacification severity is graded on a decimal scale, scores can range from 0.1 to 6.9 for NO and NC and from 0.1 to 5.9 for C and P. For each opacification type the higher grading scores indicate greater severity. Lens opacification event development or progression by month 12 was based on a change of ≥ 1.0 in P, ≥ 1.0 in C, or ≥ 0.7 in NO in the LOCS III score from baseline.

Time frame: 12 months

Population: The lens opacification analysis set includes randomized participants who received ≥1 dose of study drug, had an evaluable baseline and at least 1 evaluable post-baseline LOCS III assessment at the corresponding lens site. Three participants randomized to placebo who received ≥ 1 dose of denosumab in error are analyzed in the denosumab group.
