thresholds for each DXA scanner manufacturer. The BMD equivalent for
corresponding T-score must be < -2.5 and > -4.0 for a subject to be eligible].
5. Postmenopausal defined as >5-years postmenopausal, which can be >5-years of
spontaneous amenorrhea or >5-years post surgical bilateral oophorectomy. Use
follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels > 40 mIU/mL to confirm surgical
postmenopausal status, where bilateral oophorectomy status is uncertain.

Brief Summary  

The aim of this Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled,parallel-group, multicenter study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of denosumab in Indian postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. The study design consists of two phases: Screening and 6-month Double-Blind treatment phase. Following theScreening phase, all eligible subjects will be randomized to receive double-blind Denosumab (60 mg) or Placebo (PBO) study medication in a 1:1 ratio.
