primary Outcomes
  1. description
    SRE was defined as pathological bone fracture, initiation of radiotherapy or surgery on bone, spinal cord compression, or hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM). SRE was assessed by centrally read radiographic bone surveys.
    measure
    Percentage of Participants With ≥1 SRE at the End of 1 Year on Study
    time Frame
    1 year
secondary Outcomes
  1. description
    The time to first SRE is defined as the date of enrollment to the date of the first occurrence of any SRE on the study. SRE includes pathological fracture, initiation of radiotherapy or surgery on bone, spinal cord compression, or HCM. Participants who drop-out was treated as censored observations. Time to first SRE on the study was assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method.
    measure
    Time to First SRE on Study
    time Frame
    Up to 2 years
  2. description
    Pathologic bone fractures are defined as bone fractures that occur spontaneously or as a result of trivial trauma.
    measure
    Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Pathologic Bone Fracture
    time Frame
    Years 1 and 2
  3. description
    Spinal cord compression is caused by the impingement of a tumor on the spinal cord and is associated with neurologic impairment and/or back pain.
    measure
    Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Spinal Cord Compression
    time Frame
    Years 1 and 2
  4. description
    Radiation therapy to bone events includes irradiation of bone to palliate painful lesions, to treat or prevent pathologic fractures, or to treat or prevent spinal cord compression.
    measure
    Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Radiation to Bone
    time Frame
    Years 1 and 2
  5. description
    Surgery to bone events includes surgical procedures that are performed to set or stabilize pathologic fractures or areas of spinal cord compression and surgical procedures that are performed to prevent an imminent pathologic fracture or spinal cord compression.
    measure
    Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Surgery to Bone
    time Frame
    Years 1 and 2
  6. description
    HCM is defined as corrected serum calcium ≥ 12.0 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) (3.00 millimoles per liter \[mmol/L\]), or a lower level of hypercalcemia that was symptomatic and required active treatment other than rehydration.
    measure
    Percentage of Participants Who Experienced HCM
    time Frame
    Years 1 and 2
  7. description
    The SRE rate for each participant was calculated as the number of SREs/total follow-up time. SRE included pathological bone fracture, initiation of radiotherapy or surgery on bone, spinal cord compression, or HCM.
