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.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

Once the appropriate leg was identified for scanning, it was used for all subsequent measurements. 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 total hip was assessed at the Screening visit (Baseline), Month 6, Month 12, and Month 24 for the repeated measures longitudinal ANCOVA model, with percent change from baseline at Months 12 and 24 pre-specified to be reported as secondary outcome measures.

    3. Percent Change From Baseline in Femoral Neck aBMD [Baseline, 12 months, 24 months]

      aBMD (g/cm^2) data was measured by DXA at the femoral neck (hip). All measurements utilized the same hip and at least 2 vertebrae for all time points. The left hip only was scanned. If the left hip was unevaluable, then the right hip was scanned. Once the appropriate leg was identified for scanning, it was used for all subsequent measurements. 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 femoral neck was assessed at the Screening visit (Baseline), Month 6, Month 12, and Month 24 for the repeated measures longitudinal ANCOVA model, with percent change from baseline at Months 12 and 24 pre-specified to be reported as secondary outcome measures.

    4. Percent Change From Baseline in Hip Trochanter aBMD [Baseline, 12 months, 24 months]

      aBMD (g/cm^2) data was measured by DXA at the hip trochanter. All measurements utilized the same hip and at least 2 vertebrae for all time points. The left hip only was scanned. If the left hip was unevaluable, then the right hip was scanned. Once the appropriate leg was identified for scanning, it was used for all subsequent measurements. 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 hip trochanter was assessed at the Screening visit (Baseline), Month 6, Month 12, and Month 24 for the repeated measures longitudinal ANCOVA model, with percent change from baseline at Months 12 and 24 pre-specified to be reported as secondary outcome measures.

    5. Percent Change From Baseline in Total Radius aBMD [Baseline, 12 months, 24 months]

      aBMD (g/cm^2) data was measured by DXA at the total radius (forearm). 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 total radius was assessed at the Screening visit (Baseline), Month 6, Month 12, and Month 24 for the repeated measures longitudinal ANCOVA model, with percent change from baseline at Months 12 and 24 pre-specified to be reported as secondary outcome measures.

    6. Percent Change From Baseline in Ultradistal Radius aBMD [Baseline, 12 months, 24 months]

      aBMD (g/cm^2) data was measured by DXA at the ultradistal radius (forearm). 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 ultradistal radius was assessed at the Screening visit (Baseline), Month 6, Month 12, and Month 24 for the repeated measures longitudinal ANCOVA model, with percent change from baseline at Months 12 and 24 pre-specified to be reported as secondary outcome measures.

    7. Percent Change From Baseline in Distal Radius aBMD [Baseline, 12 months, 24 months]

    Comments MONTH 24: A longitudinal ANCOVA model was used to obtain an estimate of the between-treatment difference in aBMD together with its 95% CI. The model, applied on all time points during treatment (Screening Visit [Baseline], Month 6, Month 12, Month 24), included treatment, region, time and interaction between treatment and time as fixed effects, and baseline value as covariate. The weighted LS mean is based on the described model. Difference in LS Means at Month 24 = Odancatib 50 mg minus Placebo

    13. Secondary Outcome
    Title Percent Change From Baseline in Serum C-Terminal Telopeptides of Type 1 Collagen (s-CTx) Level
    Description s-CTx is a biochemical marker index of bone resorption. s-CTx was measured via fasting blood draws at Baseline (Randomization), Month 6, Month 12, Month 18, and Month 24 for the repeated measures longitudinal ANCOVA model, with percent change from baseline at Months 12 and 24 pre-specified to be reported as secondary outcome measures. S-CTx was analyzed using the log-transformed fraction from baseline using the per-protocol approach. Data were back-transformed for presentation and geometric LS mean percent change from baseline was reported with 95% CI.
    Time Frame Baseline, 12 months, 24 months

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Per-Protocol (PP) population: All participants receiving at least one dose of study treatment and with available s-CTx data, excluding participants with important deviations from the protocol that may have substantially affected the results.
    Arm/Group Title Odanacatib 50 mg Placebo
    Arm/Group Description Participants received 50 mg odanacatib and open-label 5600 IU vitamin D3 tablets once weekly for 24 months. Participants also received 500 mg of open-label daily calcium supplement as needed to ensure a total daily calcium intake of 1200 mg. Participants received matching placebo to odanacatib and open-label 5600 IU vitamin D3 once weekly for 24 months. Participants also received 500 mg of open-label daily calcium supplement as needed to ensure a total daily calcium intake of 1200 mg.
