• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2010-08-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

To evaluate the combined effect of denosumab treatment and discontinuation on cortical thickness at the distal radius by High Resolution-Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HR-pQCT). Participants randomized to either denosumab or placebo in the 20050179 (NCT00293813) study who completed that study (ie, attended an end of study visit) can be included in this study. At least 12 months should have elapsed since the patient's 20050179 end of study visit.

• Phase: Phase 3
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
