Time frame
From randomization until the primary analysis data cut-off date of 19 July 2016 (per protocol); median time on study was 17.6 and 17.3 months in each treatment group respectively.

What was measured

A skeletal-related event (SRE) is defined as one of the following: pathologic fracture (vertebral or non-vertebral), radiation therapy to bone (including the use of radioisotopes), surgery to bone, or spinal cord compression. Time to first on-study SRE is defined as the time interval (in days) from the randomization date to the date of first occurrence of on-study SRE. If there was no known event, and the participant was monitored for any one of the four SRE components, time to first on-study SRE was censored at the end of the treatment phase date or the primary analysis data cut-off date, whichever came first.

Zoledronic Acid

Participants randomized to receive zoledronic acid 4 mg intravenously plus placebo to denosumab subcutaneously once every 4 weeks in the double-blind treatment phase.

Denosumab

Participants randomized to receive denosumab 120 mg subcutaneously plus placebo to zoledronic acid intravenously once every 4 weeks in the double-blind treatment phase.

    A two-stage approach was used for the non-inferiority test. First, the fixed margin approach was used to ensure denosumab has an effect greater than placebo (ie, the non-inferiority margin M1, ie, the lower bound of the two-sided 95% confidence interval 1.28, is ruled out). Next, a synthesis method was used for the non-inferiority test of the hypothesis that denosumab preserved at least 50% of the effect of zoledronic acid (HR \[95% CI\] of 1.48 \[1.28, 1.71\] for placebo vs zoledronic acid.
