- Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the safety and treatment effect of 50 mg odanacatib (MK-0822) with Vitamin D versus placebo with Vitamin D in postmenopausal women with low bone density. The primary efficacy hypothesis is that odanacatib will increase aBMD at the lumbar spine compared to placebo at 12 months.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants That Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AE Up to ~14 days post study end (up to ~24 months) An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's products, 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 percentage of participants that discontinued study treatment (different from discontinuation of the study) due to an AE was reported for each treatment arm.
Percent Change From Baseline to Month 12 in Lumbar Spine Areal Bone Mineral Density (aBMD) Baseline, 12 months aBMD (g/cm\^2) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the lumbar spine and mean BMD measurements from at least 3 evaluable lumbar spine vertebrae (L1-L4) were used. If a vertebra was fractured at baseline or became fractured during the study, its BMD measurement was excluded from the analysis and the lumbar spine BMD was recalculated based on the three remaining vertebrae. aBMD data was centrally evaluated and all areal BMD measurements included a longitudinal BMD correction factor as determined by the quality control center. aBMD at the lumbar spine was assessed at the Screening visit (Baseline), Month 6, Month 12, and Month 24 for the repeated measures longitudinal Analysis of Covariates (ANCOVA) model, with percent change from baseline at Months 12 and 24 pre-specified to be reported as primary and secondary outcome measures, respectively.
Percentage of Participants That Experienced an Adverse Event (AE) Up to ~14 days post study end (up to ~24 months) An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's products, 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 percentage of participants that experienced at least one AE was reported for each treatment arm.
