A Randomized Phase 3 Study to Evaluate Two Formulations of Romosozumab in Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Postmenopausal Osteoporosis
Interventions
Drug: Placebo 90 mg/mL
Drug: Placebo 70 mg/mL
Registration Number
NCT02016716
Lead Sponsor
Amgen
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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at the Lumbar SpineBaseline and month 6

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

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent Change From Baseline in Femoral Neck BMDBaseline and month 6

Femoral neck BMD was measured using DXA. The analysis was based on an ANCOVA model adjusted for treatment and baseline femoral neck BMD T-score.

Percent Change From Baseline in N-Terminal Propeptide Type 1 Procollagen (P1NP)Baseline, month 1, month 3, and month 6
Percent Change From Baseline in Total Hip BMDBaseline and month 6

Total hip BMD was measured using DXA. The analysis was based on an ANCOVA model adjusted for treatment and baseline total hip BMD T-score.

Percent Change From Baseline in Serum C-Telopeptide (CTX)Baseline, month 1, month 3, and month 6
