ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercentage of Participants With New Vertebral Fractures Through Month 2424 months
All fracture assessments were performed by blinded central imaging readers. New vertebral fractures occurred when there was ≥ 1 grade increase from the previous grade of 0 in any vertebra from T4 to L4 using the Genant Semiquantitative Scoring method based on assessment of x-rays according to the following scale: * Grade 0 (Normal) = no fracture; * Grade 1 (Mild) = mild fracture, 20 to 25% reduction in vertebral height (anterior, middle, or posterior); * Grade 2 (Moderate) = moderate fracture, 25 to 40% reduction in anterior, middle, and/or posterior height; * Grade 3 (Severe) = severe fracture, greater than 40% reduction in anterior, middle, and/or posterior height. Incident vertebral fractures were confirmed by a second independent reader using the Semiquantitative method.
PrimaryPercentage of Participants With a Clinical Fracture at the Primary Analysis
The primary analysis was performed when clinical fracture events had been confirmed in at least 330 patients and all participants had completed the month 24 visit. The median follow-up was 2.7 years (interquartile range, 2.2 to 3.3).
All fracture assessments were performed by blinded central imaging readers. Clinical fractures included clinical vertebral and nonvertebral fractures (excluding skull, facial, mandible, cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, metacarpus, finger phalanges, and toe phalanges) that were associated with signs and/or symptoms indicative of a fracture. Clinical vertebral fractures were included regardless of trauma severity or pathologic fractures; nonvertebral fractures associated with high trauma severity or pathologic fractures were excluded.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With a Nonvertebral Fracture at the Primary Analysis
The primary analysis was performed when clinical fracture events had been confirmed in at least 330 patients and all participants had completed the month 24 visit. The median follow-up was 2.7 years (interquartile range, 2.2 to 3.3).
A nonvertebral fracture was defined as a documented fracture excluding skull, facial, mandible, cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, metacarpus, finger phalanges, and toe phalanges. In addition, fractures associated with high trauma severity or pathologic fractures were excluded.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Any Fracture at the Primary Analysis
The primary analysis was performed when clinical fracture events had been confirmed in at least 330 patients and all participants had completed the month 24 visit. The median follow-up was 2.7 years (interquartile range, 2.2 to 3.3).
All fractures include any osteoporotic nonvertebral fractures that are not associated with high trauma severity or pathologic fractures and new or worsening vertebral fractures regardless of trauma severity or pathologic fractures.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With a New or Worsening Vertebral Fracture Through Month 2424 months
A new or worsening vertebral fracture was identified when there was a ≥ 1 grade increase from the previous grade in any vertebra from T4 to L4 according to the Genant Semiquantitative Scoring method based on assessment of x-rays according to the following scale: * Grade 0 (Normal) = no fracture; * Grade 1 (Mild) = mild fracture, 20 to 25% reduction in vertebral height (anterior, middle, or posterior); * Grade 2 (Moderate) = moderate fracture, 25 to 40% reduction in anterior, middle, and/or posterior height; * Grade 3 (Severe) = severe fracture, greater than 40% reduction in anterior, middle, and/or posterior height. Incident vertebral fractures were confirmed by a second independent reader using the Semiquantitative method.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With a Major Nonvertebral Fracture at the Primary Analysis
The primary analysis was performed when clinical fracture events had been confirmed in at least 330 patients and all participants had completed the month 24 visit. The median follow-up was 2.7 years (interquartile range, 2.2 to 3.3).
Major nonvertebral fractures included a subset of nonvertebral fractures including pelvis, distal femur (ie, femur excluding hip), proximal tibia (ie, tibia excluding ankle), ribs, proximal humerus (ie, humerus excluding elbow), forearm, and hip.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With a Hip Fracture at the Primary Analysis
The primary analysis was performed when clinical fracture events had been confirmed in at least 330 patients and all participants had completed the month 24 visit. The median follow-up was 2.7 years (interquartile range, 2.2 to 3.3).
Hip fractures were defined as a subset of nonvertebral fractures including fractures of the femur neck, femur intertrochanter, and femur subtrochanter.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Multiple New or Worsening Vertebral Fractures Through Month 2424 months
A new or worsening vertebral fracture was identified when there was a ≥ 1 grade increase from the previous grade in any vertebra from T4 to L4 according to the Genant Semiquantitative Scoring method. A participant had multiple new or worsening vertebral fractures when there were ≥ 2 vertebrae from T4 to L4 with ≥ 1 grade increase from the previous grade. The multiple new or worsening vertebral fractures need not have occurred at the same visit. Incident vertebral fractures were confirmed by a second independent reader.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With a Clinical Fracture Through Month 2424 months
Clinical fractures included clinical vertebral and nonvertebral fractures (excluding skull, facial, mandible, cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, metacarpus, finger phalanges, and toe phalanges) that were associated with signs and/or symptoms indicative of a fracture. Clinical vertebral fractures were included regardless of trauma severity or pathologic fractures; nonvertebral fractures associated with high trauma severity or pathologic fractures were excluded.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With a Nonvertebral Fracture Through Month 2424 months
A nonvertebral fracture was defined as a documented fracture excluding skull, facial, mandible, cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, metacarpus, finger phalanges, and toe phalanges. In addition, fractures associated with high trauma severity or pathologic fractures were excluded.
