| Weighted Average Inhibition (WAI) of Urine Aminoterminal Crosslinked Telopeptide of Type I Collagen (u-NTx/Cr) After Administration of Odanacatib 50 mg or Placebo Qw for 4 Weeks in Healthy Males and Postmenopausal Females | Baseline to Week 4 | uNTx/Cr is a biomarker of bone resorption. Urine samples were obtained predose on Day 1 (Baseline) and at various timepoints up to 336 hr postdose on Day 22 (Week 4). Fold change from baseline in time weighted average (TWA) of uNTx/Cr on log scale was analyzed via a linear mixed effect model. All analyses were carried out on the log-fold scale and final results were reported on the original percent scale in WAI after back transformation. The conversion used was weighted average inhibition (WAI) = (1-exp \[mean\])\*100, where the mean was the least squares (LS) mean of log-transformed ratio (TWA/baseline) from the above model. |

Outcome results
Weighted Average Inhibition (WAI) of Urine Aminoterminal Crosslinked Telopeptide of Type I Collagen (u-NTx/Cr) After Administration of Odanacatib 50 mg or Placebo Qw for 4 Weeks in Healthy Males and Postmenopausal Females
uNTx/Cr is a biomarker of bone resorption. Urine samples were obtained predose on Day 1 (Baseline) and at various timepoints up to 336 hr postdose on Day 22 (Week 4). Fold change from baseline in time weighted average (TWA) of uNTx/Cr on log scale was analyzed via a linear mixed effect model. All analyses were carried out on the log-fold scale and final results were reported on the original percent scale in WAI after back transformation. The conversion used was weighted average inhibition (WAI) = (1-exp \[mean\])\*100, where the mean was the least squares (LS) mean of log-transformed ratio (TWA/baseline) from the above model.
Time frame: Baseline to Week 4
Population: The population of male and postmenopausal female participants on Qw treatment with Odanacatib 50 mg for 4 weeks and were compliant with the protocol. The population of male participants on placebo are also included. Postmenopausal females on placebo were not analyzed for WAI due to there being too few participants in this group (N=2).
