Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment is effective in preventing fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: Romosozumab
  • Drug: Alendronate
  • Drug: Placebo to Romosozumab
  • Drug: Placebo to Alendronate
Phase 3

Detailed Description

In this trial, women were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive monthly subcutaneous romosozumab or weekly oral alendronate for 12 months. Randomization was stratified according to age (<75 vs. ≥75 years). After completion of the double-blind treatment period, all the participants were to receive open-label weekly oral alendronate until the end of the trial, with blinding to the initial treatment assignment maintained.

The primary analysis was performed when clinical fracture events had been confirmed in at least 330 participants and all the participants had completed the month 24 visit. The study was to continue in an event-driven manner until at least 440 participants experienced a nonvertebral fracture or if the superiority of romosozumab was proven for nonvertebral fractures at the primary analysis.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With New Vertebral Fractures Through Month 24 [24 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.

    2. Percentage 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.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage 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.

    2. Percentage 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.

    Study Results

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details The study was conducted at 270 centers in 41 countries globally from 04 May 2012 to 29 June 2017.
    Pre-assignment Detail Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive romosozumab or alendronate for 12 months. Randomization was stratified by age (< 75 vs. ≥ 75 years). After completion of the double-blind trial period, all participants received open-label alendronate until the end of the trial, with blinding to the initial treatment assignment maintained.
    Arm/Group Title Alendronate/Alendronate Romosozumab/Alendronate
    Arm/Group Description Participants received 70 mg alendronate once a week and placebo to romosozumab subcutaneously once a month for the first 12 months. After completion of the 12-month double-blind treatment period participants continued to receive 70 mg alendronate once a week until the end of the study. Participants received 210 mg romosozumab subcutaneously once a month and placebo to alendronate orally once a week for the first 12 months. After completion of the 12-month double-blind treatment period participants received 70 mg alendronate once a week until the end of the study.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Percentage of Participants With New Vertebral Fractures Through Month 24
    Description 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.
    Time Frame 24 months

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Randomized participants with a baseline and ≥ 1 postbaseline evaluation of vertebral fracture, including participants who had vertebrae with missing Genant semiquantitative scores at baseline whose first postbaseline spinal radiograph showed no fracture on the same vertebrae. Last observation carried forward imputation was used.
    Arm/Group Title Alendronate/Alendronate Romosozumab/Alendronate
    Arm/Group Description Participants received 70 mg alendronate once a week and placebo to romosozumab subcutaneously once a month for the first 12 months. After completion of the 12-month double-blind treatment period participants continued to receive 70 mg alendronate once a week until the end of the study. Participants received 210 mg romosozumab subcutaneously once a month and placebo to alendronate orally once a week for the first 12 months.

    2. Primary Outcome
    Title Percentage of Participants With a Clinical Fracture at the Primary Analysis
    Description 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.
    Time Frame 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).

    Certain Agreements

    Principal Investigators are NOT employed by the organization sponsoring the study.

    The Clinical Trial Agreement generally does not restrict an investigator's discussion of trial results after completion. The Agreement permits Amgen a limited period of time to review material discussing trial results (typically up to 45 days and possible extension). Amgen may remove confidential information, but authors have final control and approval of publication content. For multicenter studies, the investigator agrees not to publish any results before the first multi-center publication.
