ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)84 months
A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as an adverse event that: • is fatal • is life threatening • requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization • results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity • is a congenital anomaly/birth defect • is other significant medical hazard. Treatment-related adverse events includes only events for which the investigator indicated there was a reasonable possibility they may have been caused by study drug. The following were classified as adverse events of interest (events that are considered to be identified or potential risks of denosumab treatment): positively adjudicated osteonecrosis of the jaw, positively adjudicated atypical femoral fracture, hypocalcemia, adverse events potentially related to hypersensitivity, serious infection (including bacterial cellulitis), malignancy, cardiac disorders, vascular disorders, fracture healing complications, eczema, acute pancreatitis, and musculoskeletal pain.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Laboratory Toxicities of Grade ≥ 384 monthsLaboratory toxicity grading was based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0. Grade 3 indicates severe toxicity and Grade 4 indicates life-threatening toxicity.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Antibodies to DenosumabEvery 12 months through Month 84
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density by VisitBaseline (of extension study) and months 12, 24, 36, 60 and 84Lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). DXA scans were analyzed by a central imaging center.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Total Hip Bone Mineral Density by VisitBaseline (of extension study) and months 12, 24, 36, 60 and 84Total hip bone mineral density was measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). DXA scans were analyzed by a central imaging center.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Femoral Neck Bone Mineral Density by VisitBaseline (of extension study) and months 12, 24, 36, 60 and 84Femoral neck bone mineral density was measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). DXA scans were analyzed by a central imaging center.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in 1/3 Radius Bone Mineral Density by VisitBaseline (of extension study) and months 12, 24, 36, 60 and 841/3 radius bone mineral density was measured in a subset of participants by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). DXA scans were analyzed by a central imaging center.
SecondaryPercent Change From Study 20030216 Baseline in Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density by VisitStudy 20030216 baseline and extension study months 12, 24, 36, 60 and 84
Lumbar spine bone mineral density was measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). DXA scans were analyzed by a central imaging center. Measurements at some time points during the core study 20030216 were only taken in a subset of participants.
SecondaryPercent Change From Study 20030216 Baseline in Total Hip BMD by VisitStudy 20030216 baseline and extension study months 12, 24, 36, 60 and 84
Total hip bone mineral density was measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). DXA scans were analyzed by a central imaging center. Measurements at some time points during the core study 20030216 were only taken in a subset of participants.
