Summary

This study will compare the effectiveness of denosumab treatment every 6 months with once yearly zoledronic acid treatment on bone mineral density (BMD) at various skeletal sites.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Ambulatory postmenopausal women.
  • Age 55 years or older
  • Subject has provided informed consent prior to any study specific procedures
  • Received oral bisphosphonate therapy for osteoporosis at least 2 years prior to screening visit
  • Screening BMD (g/cm²) values at the lumbar spine, total hip or femoral neck values of equal to or less than those listed in the protocol.
  • At least 2 lumbar vertebrae and one hip must be evaluable by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the screening visit

Exclusion Criteria

  • Received other osteoporosis treatment or bone active treatment
  • Evidence of history of any of the following:
  • hyperthyroidism (stable on antithyroid therapy is allowed)
  • hypothyroidism (stable on thyroid replacement therapy is allowed)
  • hypo- or hyperparathyroidism
  • hypo- or hypercalcemia based on the central laboratory reference ranges
  • Recent tooth extraction (within 6 months of screening visit)
  • Paget disease of bone (subject report or chart review)
  • other bone diseases which affect bone metabolism (eg, osteopetrosis, osteogenesis imperfecta) (chart review)
  • Abnormalities of the following per central laboratory reference ranges:
  • vitamin D deficiency (25[OH] vitamin D level < 20 ng/mL), repletion will be allowed and subjects may be re-screened
  • hypercalcemia
  • elevated transaminases ≥ 2.0 x upper limits of normal (ULN)
  • History of any solid organ or bone marrow transplant
  • Malignancy (except nonmelanoma skin cancers, cervical or breast ductal carcinoma in situ) within the last 5 years
  • Known intolerance to calcium or vitamin D supplements
  • Self-reported alcohol or drug abuse within 12 months prior to screening
  • Currently receiving treatment in another investigational device or drug study, or less than 30 days since ending treatment on another investigational device or drug study(s)
  • History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition or disease that in the opinion of the Investigator or Amgen physician, if consulted, would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures or completion
