A Randomized, Double-Blind Study to Compare the Efficacy of Treatment With Denosumab Versus Alendronate Sodium in Postmenopausal Women With Low Bone Mineral Density.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density, the mean percent change in total hip BMD in subjects receiving denosumab is not less than that observed in subjects receiving alendronate sodium by more than a pre-specified non-inferiority margin.
