Efficacy and Safety of Odanacatib (MK-0822) in Participants With Involutional Osteoporosis (MK-0822-022)

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Osteoporosis Postmenopausal
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: Vitamin D3
Dietary Supplement: Calcium carbonate
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT00620113
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the dose-response on the percent change from baseline in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) at lumbar vertebrae 1 to 4 (L1- L4) when odanacatib (MK-0822) 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg or placebo is orally administered once weekly for 52 weeks to Japanese involutional osteoporosis participants. The study will also assess safety and tolerability of odanacatib (10, 25, and 50 mg) in these participants.

The study will enroll approximately 280 participants and randomly assign them to 3 different doses of odanacatib or placebo for 52 weeks, along with supplemental vitamin D3 and calcium carbonate. The primary efficacy hypothesis is that a dose-response relationship on the percent change from baseline in lumbar spine BMD (L1- L4) is seen when odanacatib 10, 25, 50 mg or placebo is orally administered once weekly for 52 weeks to involutional osteoporosis participants. The primary safety hypothesis is that odanacatib will be safe and well tolerated over 52 weeks to involutional osteoporosis participants.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent Change From Baseline to Week 52 in Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at Lumbar Vertebrae 1 to 4 (L1-L4)Baseline (Observation visit to Wk 0 treatment visit), Week 52

BMD (g/cm2) data was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at lumbar spine vertebrae 1 through 4 (L1-L4) from anterior view at the Observation visit (up to 5 weeks before Treatment Period), Week 0 (start of Treatment Period) and Week 52 (end of Treatment Period) or at discontinuation. Baseline was defined as the average of the 2 values collected at the Observation visit and Week 0 visit. Percent change from baseline in BMD = (\[BMD at Week 52 visit\] - \[baseline BMD\] ÷ baseline BMD) × 100. Measurements were performed using the Hologic Quantitative Digital Radiography (QDR) Series densitometer, and by same machine and under same scan mode throughout the study period. BMD data was centrally judged.

Number of Participants That Experienced an Adverse Event (AE)From first dose up to Post-Study (up to 54 weeks)

An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure (sign), function (symptoms), or chemistry of the body (laboratory data) temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's products (including placebo), whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's product was also an AE. The number of participants that experienced at least one AE was reported for each treatment arm.

Number of Participants That Discontinued Study Drug Due to an AEFrom first dose up to end of treatment (up to 52 weeks)

An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure (sign), function (symptoms), or chemistry of the body (laboratory data) temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's products (including placebo), whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's product was also an AE. The number of participants that discontinued study drug due to an AE was reported for each treatment arm. Participants may have discontinued study drug but continued on the trial.

All measurements of bone biochemical markers were centrally performed.

Percent Change From Baseline to Week 52 in Urinary N-telopeptides/Creatinine (u-NTx/Cre) RatioBaseline (Wk 0), Week 52

Percent change from baseline in biomarker = (\[biomarker value at Week 52 visit\] - \[baseline biomarker value\] ÷ baseline biomarker value) × 100. All measurements of bone biochemical markers were centrally performed.

Measurements were performed using the Hologic QDR Series densitometer, and by same machine and under same scan mode throughout the study period. BMD data was centrally judged.

Percent Change From Baseline to Week 52 in Serum N-Terminal Propeptides of Type 1 Collagen (s-P1NP) LevelBaseline (Wk 0), Week 52

s-P1NP is a biochemical marker index of bone formation. Blood samples were collected in the morning and in fasting state for measurement of s- P1NP. Percent change from baseline in biomarker = (\[biomarker value at Week 52 visit\] - \[baseline biomarker value\] ÷ baseline biomarker value) × 100. All measurements of bone biochemical markers were centrally performed.
