Study of Transitioning From Alendronate to Denosumab

June 30, 2011 updated by: Amgen

A Randomized Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Transitioning Therapy From Alendronate to Denosumab (AMG 162) in Postmenopausal Women With Low Bone Mineral Density

The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of transitioning postmenopausal women on current alendronate therapy to denosumab. Endpoints studied will include bone mineral density, bone turnover markers and bone histology in a subset of subjects.
