Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Romosozumab Compared With Bisphosphonates in Children and Adolescents With Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Overview

About this study

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of romosozumab treatment for 12-months compared with bisphosphonate(s) on the number of clinical fractures at 12-months; the number of any fractures at 12-months and change in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) Z-score at 6-months.
