a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ly06006 in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture

Conditions: Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

Summary: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase iii clinical study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ly06006 in the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture, as well as an exploratory population pharmacokinetic analysis of ly06006.

it is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase iii clinical trial. primary objective: to evaluate the efficacy of ly06006 in the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture. secondary objectives: to evaluate the safety of ly06006. to evaluate the immunogenicity of ly06006. population pharmacokinetic analysis of ly06006.
