Study summary

The purpose of the event-driven base study is to determine the safety and efficacy, especially fracture risk reduction, of odanacatib in postmenopausal women diagnosed with osteoporosis. In a placebo-controlled extension of the base study, participants continued to receive the same blinded study medication for a total of up to 5 years of blinded study medication combined between the base study and the extension. After participants received 5 years of blinded study medication, they received open-label odanacatib through the end of the first extension. Participants were then invited to enroll in a second extension study in which they received open-label odanacatib for an additional 5 years. Two imaging substudies (PN032-Base/Extension and PN035) were conducted for participants in the MK-0822-018 Study. Additional safety information was collected for participants who discontinued from the base study or the blinded first extension in an observational follow-up study, MK-0822-083 (EudraCT number: 2007-002693-66) .

Outcome measures

PrimaryBase Study: Time From Baseline to First Morphometrically-Assessed Vertebral Fracture

Morphometric vertebral fractures were assessed by central adjudication on lumbar and thoracic spinal radiographs acquired at baseline and at Months 6, 12, and subsequent yearly time points. Incident fractures (i.e., occurring after baseline) in previously normal vertebral bodies and/or those occurring after baseline in previously fractured vertebral bodies (Genant semiquantitative \[SQ\] Grade 1-3) (T4 to L4) were confirmed by quantitative morphometric (QM) and either SQ or binary SQ (yes/no) methodologies. A time-to-event methodology was used to evaluate results: life-table estimates of the incidence proportion (cumulative incidence) of participants with at least one morphometric vertebral fracture were assessed at Months 6, 12, and subsequent yearly intervals; an interval-censored approach was then used to determine incidence rate (number of participants with a morphometric fracture per 100 person-years of follow-up).

PrimarySarcopenia Substudy PN035: Change From Baseline in Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) Score

The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) Score is used to assess physical function in older persons. The SPPB consists of 3 types of physical activities: standing balance, gait speed, and chair rise. Component activities are timed and then reduced to a categorical 0 to 4 scale based on time achieved. A higher composite score (range 0 to 12) indicates an improved function level. The change from baseline at yearly intervals was then assessed using a longitudinal data analysis model with terms for treatment, stratum (sarcopenia, non-sarcopenia), time and interaction between treatment and time as fixed effects (LS means weighted for stratum size).

PrimarySarcopenia Substudy PN035: Change From Baseline in Gait Speed

Gait speed is a component of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) Score. Participants are asked to walk a distance of 4 meters at their normal pace. The test is performed 2 times, and the walk done in the shortest time is used for scoring. The activity is timed and then reduced to a categorical 0 to 4 scale based on time achieved. Higher scores indicate an improved function level. The change from baseline at yearly intervals was then assessed using a longitudinal data analysis model with terms for treatment, stratum (sarcopenia, non-sarcopenia), time and interaction between treatment and time as fixed effects (LS means weighted for stratum size).

SecondaryBase Study: Percent Change From Baseline in Bone-Specific Alkaline Phosphatase (BSAP) After Log-Transformation

BSAP is an enzyme produced by matrix-synthesizing osteoblasts during the synthesis of collagenous bone matrix (type 1 collagen) used as a biochemical marker of bone formation. Serum BSAP was assessed at randomization, Month 6, and at yearly intervals until the end of the study (base study) in an approximate 10% random subset participants at selected sites. The log-transformed fraction from baseline in BSAP was determined using a longitudinal model with terms for treatment, stratum, and interaction between treatment and time as fixed effects (LS means weighted for stratum size). Back-transformed weighted geometric LS means values for percent change from baseline are provided.

SecondaryBase Study + First Extension + Second Extension: Time From Baseline to First Morphometrically-Assessed Vertebral Fracture

Morphometric vertebral fractures were assessed by central adjudication on lumbar and thoracic spinal radiographs acquired at baseline (base study) and at Months 6, 12, and subsequent yearly time points. Incident fractures (i.e., occurring after baseline) in previously normal vertebral bodies and/or those occurring after baseline in previously fractured vertebral bodies (Genant semiquantitative \[SQ\] Grade 1-3) (T4 to L4) were confirmed by quantitative morphometric (QM) and either SQ or binary SQ (yes/no) methodologies. A time-to-event methodology was used to evaluate results: life-table estimates of the incidence proportion (cumulative incidence) of participants with at least one morphometric vertebral fracture were assessed at Months 6, 12, and subsequent yearly intervals; an interval-censored approach was then used to determine incidence rate (number of participants with a morphometric fracture per 100 person-years of follow-up).

Time frame:

BMD was measured by DXA at the lumbar spine starting at randomization, and at yearly intervals until the end of the study (2nd extension study) for all participants who entered the 2nd extension study. Measurements were made on at least 3 vertebrae for all time points; vertebrae with fractures were excluded from analyses. At Months 96 and 108, approximately 3% or fewer participants in each treatment group had BMD data, and results at those time points should be viewed with caution. NOTE: The mean percent change in BMD from baseline in participants originally randomized to placebo includes BMD results obtained after those participants were switched to open-label odanacatib, which occurred at different times relative to their start of blinded study medication in the base study. A longitudinal model with terms for treatment, stratum, region \& interaction between treatment and time as fixed effects (LS means weighted for region \& stratum size) was used for analysis.
