Participant Flow

This study was conducted at 22 centers in North America, Europe, and Australia from July 2018 to March 2022. The study was an open-label extension of study 20130173 (NCT02352753). Participants who completed the end of study visit or who withdrew consent or assent to transition to every 3 months (Q3M) dosing regimen in Study 20130173 were offered participation in this study.

Participants who rolled over into Study 20170534 could continue to receive denosumab Q3M or could receive alternative osteoporosis medication, including commercial denosumab every 6 months (Q6M), or off-treatment observation only at the investigator's discretion. At any time during the study, participants could discontinue, resume, or initiate 1 of the above treatments based on the medical judgment of the investigator and per local standard of care.

Population: The metaphyseal analysis set includes participants with open growth plates and no hardware preventing accurate calculation of MI at baseline, and X-ray of the knee at baseline and postbaseline.

Anteroposterior radiographs of both knees (unless prohibited by the presence of hardware such as implants) were used to calculate the metaphyseal index Z-score of each knee in participants with open growth plates; the knee selected for assessment during the study was the knee with the higher Z-score at baseline. The metaphyseal index (MI) was calculated by the central imaging vendor as the ratio of femoral width over distal femoral growth plate width, and the Z-score for each participant, relative to the participant's age as: MI Z-score = (participant value - mean)/SD, where mean and standard deviation (SD) are the corresponding values based on a reference population for the participant's age group at the time of the assessment. Metaphyseal index Z-score above age-appropriate normal range is defined as a MI Z-score \> 2.

Population: Safety analysis set participants with radiologic assessments at each time point.

Participants underwent a visual inspection under natural light for the presence of the first and second molars. Participants were referred to a dentist to perform radiographic assessment of the unerupted molar(s) if: * A participant was age 7 to 12 years and appeared to have an unerupted upper or lower first molar (ie, not all 4 first molars were visible/detectable). * A participant was age 13 years or older and appeared to have an unerupted upper or lower (first or) second molar (ie, not all 4 first molars and all 4 second molars were visible/detectable). Abnormal molar eruptions includes the number of participants 7 to 12 years of age with 1st unerupted or partially erupted molars and participants 13 years of age or older with 2nd unerupted or partially erupted molars.

Lateral cephalogram was performed to enable assessment of mandibular shaping. The lateral cephalogram is a profile X-ray of the skull and soft tissues and is used to assess the relation of the teeth in the jaws, the relation of the jaws to the skull, and the relation of the soft tissues to the teeth and jaws. The following anatomical angles and dimensions were measured to evaluate the correct proportions of the mandible and its position relative to the skull/maxilla: Gonial angle; Sella-Nasion-A Point Angle (SNA angle); Sella-Nasion-B Point Angle (SNB angle); and A Point - Nasion-B Point Angle (ANB Angle).

Population: The DXA analysis set includes all participants with baseline and ≥ 1 postbaseline valid DXA assessments for lumbar spine as provided by the central imaging vendor. BMD endpoints were pre-specified to be analyzed for combined treatment groups.

Bone densitometry assessments of the lumbar spine were performed using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The Z-score indicates the number of standard deviations away from the mean of an average person of the same age, sex, race, and weight. A Z-score of 0 is equal to the mean of the matched population, negative Z-scores indicate a BMD lower than the mean of the matched population, and positive Z-scores indicate a higher BMD than that of the matched population. A positive change from baseline indicates an improvement in lumbar spine BMD.
