Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Percent change in lumbar spine (L1-4) bone mineral density

    12 months after the start of study drug administration

  • Incidence of vertebral fractures

    A vertebral fracture will be classified as a new fracture (i.e., change from grade 0 to grade 1, 2, or 3) or worsening of a prevalent fracture (i.e., change from grade 1 to grade 2 or 3, or change from grade 2 to grade 3) using a semi-quantitative \[SQ\] method according to the "Vertebral Fracture Assessment Criteria, 2012 revised version."

    36 months

Secondary Outcomes (55)

  • Incidence of non-vertebral fractures (both traumatic and non-traumatic; All sites)

    36 months

  • Incidence of non-vertebral fractures (both traumatic and non-traumatic; 3 Major sites)

    36 months

  • Incidence of non-vertebral fractures (both traumatic and non-traumatic; 6 Major sites)

    36 months

  • Incidence of non-vertebral fractures (traumatic; All sites)

    36 months

  • Incidence of non-vertebral fractures (traumatic; 3 Major sites)

    36 months

  • +50 more secondary outcomes
