N = number of subjects in follow-on phase who did or did not receive at least 1 dose of zoledronate

n = number of subjects reporting at least 1 event

No further active treatment: Subjects randomized to romosozumab (any dose or schedule) in the month 0 to 24 double-blind period, received denosumab 60 mg Q6M in the month 24 to 36 extension period, received a second course of romosozumab 210 mg QM from months 36 to 48, and received no further active treatment from months 48 to 72

Zoledronate 5 mg IV single dose: Subjects randomized to romosozumab (any dose or schedule) or placebo in the month 0 to 24 double-blind period, received denosumab or placebo in the month 24 to 36 extension period, received a second course of romosozumab 210 mg QM from months 36 to 48, and received a single IV dose of zoledronate 5 mg from months 48 to 72

aIncludes all subjects who enrolled in the month 48 to 72 follow-on phase assigned to no further active treatment (including 1 subject who had been randomized to placebo in the initial 24 months and was incorrectly assigned to no further active treatment)

bData not shown for 3 subjects who were assigned to zoledronate at month 48 but did not receive treatment

cPotential cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw and atypical femoral fracture were adjudicated by independent committees

dNo further active treatment group: 1 radius and 1 fibula fracture; zoledronate group: 1 radius and 1 rib fracture

IV intravenous, QM every month, Q6M every 6 months
