PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and month 12

Population: The intention-to-treat (ITT) population was used for the primary efficacy analysis, i.e. all subjects were included that have been randomized to the control group or to the denosumab group. Missing values were replaced with a last-value-carried-forward approach (LVCF).
