Brief summary

This study will compare the effect of denosumab produced by two different manufacturing processes on bone mineral density at the lumbar spine in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Interventions

DRUGDenosumab (CP2)

Denosumab produced by a process referred to as CP2, administered subcutaneously from a prefilled syringe.

DRUGDenosumab (CP4)

Denosumab produced by a process referred to as CP4, administered subcutaneously from a prefilled syringe.

Inclusion criteria

* Subject has provided informed consent prior to any study-specific activities/procedures * Ambulatory postmenopausal women. * Age 55 years or older * Screening BMD value equivalent to a T-score less than or equal to -2.5 at the lumbar spine, total hip, or femoral neck.

Exclusion criteria

Recruitment details

This study was conducted at 21 centers in Poland, Denmark, United States (US), and Canada. The first participant enrolled on 05 May 2014 and the last participant enrolled on 03 July 2014.

Pre-assignment details

Ambulatory postmenopausal women 55 years or older with a bone mineral density (BMD) equivalent to a T-score of ≤ 2.5 at lumbar spine, total hip, or femoral neck were eligible to enroll. Five hundred and forty-seven women were screened; 394 were enrolled and 153 did not meet eligibility criteria.

Outcome results

Primary

Percent Change From Baseline in Lumbar Spine BMD

Lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). DXA scans were analyzed by a central imaging center.

Time frame: Baseline and Month 12

Population: The primary efficacy analysis subset included all randomized participants who had a baseline lumbar spine DXA BMD measurement and at least 1 postbaseline lumbar spine DXA BMD measurement. Postbaseline BMD values obtained at the early termination visit were carried forward as the month-12 value.

ArmMeasureValue (MEAN)Dispersion
Denosumab CP2Percent Change From Baseline in Lumbar Spine BMD5.78 percent changeStandard Deviation 3.44
Denosumab CP4Percent Change From Baseline in Lumbar Spine BMD5.73 percent changeStandard Deviation 3.08
Comparison: The treatment comparison was analyzed using the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model including treatment, baseline BMD value, machine type, and machine type-by-baseline BMD value interaction. The effect of denosumab CP4 on lumbar spine BMD at 12 months relative to the effect of denosumab CP2 was estimated by the least-squares mean of the treatment difference (denosumab CP4 - denosumab CP2) and the corresponding 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI).p-value: <0.00195% CI: [-0.72, 0.57]ANCOVA
