• Patient with an active infection or history of infection as follows:
  • Any active infection for which systemic anti-infectives were used within 4 weeks prior to randomization

Más betegség

• Known hypersensitivity to denosumab or any of the excipients of the study drug
• Known sensitivity to drug products derived from mammalian cell lines such as hormones, enzymes, cytokines, bone morphogenic proteins, clotting factors, antibodies, and fusion protein therapeutics. Patients with any known hypersensitivity to complex proteins such as monoclonal antibodies will be excluded.

Laborértékek

• Known intolerance to, or malabsorption of calcium or vitamin D supplements
• Severe liver dysfunction (alanine aminotransferase [ALT] or aspartate aminotransferase [AST] > 3 times upper limit of normal)
• Significantly impaired renal function (determined by glomerular filtration rate of < 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula, as calculated by the central laboratory) or receiving dialysis
• Clinically significant leukopenia, neutropenia, or anemia as determined by the Investigator or any other clinically significant medical condition or laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would pose a risk to patient safety or interfere with adherence to study procedures, study completion, or the interpretation of study results Note: In case of an abnormal laboratory result which in the opinion of the investigator may be an error, is borderline, or indeterminate for inclusion in the study, the investigator may consider repeating the test once in order to rule out laboratory error.
• Evidence of any of the following conditions per laboratory test results, medical history, electrocardiogram (ECG), DXA, or X-ray review:
  • Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism Note: Clinical significance of abnormal TSH values in patients on stable replacement therapy due to hypothyroidism or on anti-thyroid medication should be assessed and discussed with the Medical Monitor.
  • History or current hyperparathyroidism or hypoparathyroidism (intact parathyroid hormone levels not within normal range) Note: Mild secondary hyperparathyroidism in the context of vitamin D deficiency may be acceptable upon discussion with the Medical Monitor.
  • Vitamin D deficiency defined as 25 (OH) vitamin D level < 20 ng/mL (< 50 nmol/L) Note: Patients can be enrolled if a repeat test (post supplementation) prior to enrollment shows corrected 25 (OH) vitamin D level ≥ 20 ng/mL (≥ 50 nmol/L).
  • Current hypocalcemia (albumin-adjusted serum calcium < 8.0 mg/dL [< 2.0 mmol/L]) or hypercalcemia (albumin-adjusted serum calcium > 10.6 mg/dL [> 2.62 mmol/L])
  • History of parathyroid surgery
  • Any bone or metabolic disease which may affect BMD or interfere with the interpretation of the findings, e.g., osteomalacia, osteogenesis imperfecta, osteopetrosis, achondroplasia, Paget's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Cushing's disease, hyperprolactinemia, or malabsorption syndrome
  • Any malignancy, including solid tumors, and hematologic malignancies (except basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin, cervical, or breast ductal carcinoma in situ, that have been completely excised and are considered cured) within the last 5 years
  • Known or suspected history of alcoholism (including heavy drinking defined as consuming more than 3 drinks on one day or more than 7 drinks per week) or substance abuse within the past 12 months prior to the first dosing that the Investigator believes would interfere with understanding or completing the study
  • Current heavy smoking, defined as smoking 20 or more cigarettes per day.
  • Participated in any other clinical study in last 30 days prior to screening
  • History and/or presence of significant cardiac disease as per Investigator's discretion, including but not restricted to:
  • History of cardiac arrhythmia or long QT syndrome or ECG abnormalities at screening indicating significant risk for safety (e.g., that required hospitalization, emergency cardioversion, or defibrillation) ii. History and/or presence of myocardial infarction within 6 months before screening iii. History and/or presence of New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart failure
