From randomization until the primary analysis cut-off date of 26 March 2014; maximum time on main study at the cut-off was 87 months

What was measured

The time to first on-study clinical fracture was defined as the number of days from randomization to the date of the x-ray confirming the clinical fracture. A clinical fracture is any clinically evident fracture with associated symptoms and confirmed by x-ray. Participants who died or withdrew without experiencing a clinical fracture were censored at the date of last contact or study termination whichever was earlier.

Groups in this outcome

Placebo

Participants randomized to receive the matching placebo subcutaneously (SC) once every 6 months (Q6M) in the double-blind phase. All participants continued to receive an approved non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor therapy.

Denosumab

Participants randomized to receive 60 mg denosumab SC once Q6M in the double-blind phase. All participants continued to receive an approved non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor therapy.

    From the Cox proportional hazard model with treatment as the independent variable and stratified by randomization strata. A hazard ratio \< 1.0 indicates a lower average event rate and a longer fracture-free time for denosumab relative to placebo.
    group Description
    The efficacy clinical hypothesis is that denosumab, when administered subcutaneously at a dose of 60 mg every 6 months, will be considered efficacious in patients with non-metastatic breast cancer receiving AIT if the rate of first clinical fracture in denosumab-treated patients is lower than that in placebo-treated patients. It is anticipated that denosumab will reduce the rate by 30% compared with placebo (ie, the true hazard ratio of denosumab compared with placebo is 0.70).
