Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to compare 2 formulations of romosozumab (AMG 785) on bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Detailed description

Upon confirmation of eligibility, participants were randomized in a 22:5:22:5 ratio to the following treatment groups: * Romosozumab 90 mg/mL * Placebo 90 mg/mL * Romosozumab 70 mg/mL * Placebo 70 mg/mL After completing a 6-month treatment period, participants entered a 3-month follow-up period with an end of study (EOS) at month 9. For the analysis of efficacy endpoints, the 2 placebo groups were combined into a single placebo group. For safety analyses, the data for placebo were presented separately for each group.

Interventions

DRUGRomosozumab 90 mg/mL

Administered as 2 SC injections of a 90 mg/mL concentration in a 1.17 mL crystal zenith resin prefilled syringe (PFS).

DRUGPlacebo 90 mg/mL

Placebo administered as 2 SC injections with the 1.17 mL crystal zenith resin PFS.

DRUGRomosozumab 70 mg/mL

Administered as 3 SC injections of a 70 mg/mL concentration in a 1.0 mL glass PFS.

DRUGPlacebo 70 mg/mL

Outcome results

Primary

Percent Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at the Lumbar Spine

Bone mineral density was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

Time frame: Baseline and month 6

Population: All randomized participants who had a baseline and a month 6 lumbar spine DXA BMD measurement

ArmMeasureValue (LEAST_SQUARES_MEAN)
PlaceboPercent Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at the Lumbar Spine0.8 percent change
Romosozumab 70 mg/mLPercent Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at the Lumbar Spine9.6 percent change
Romosozumab 90 mg/mLPercent Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at the Lumbar Spine9.2 percent change
Comparison: The primary hypothesis was that the mean percent change from baseline in lumbar spine BMD at month 6 in participants receiving romosozumab 210 mg QM using the 90 mg/mL concentration would not be inferior to that in participants receiving romosozumab 210 mg QM using the 70 mg/mL concentration.95% CI: [-1.5, 0.7]
