This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel design, repeat dose, 2 arm, multicenter study comparing the efficacy, safety, immunogenicity, and PK profiles of AVT03 and Prolia in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
After the screening activities, eligible subjects were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either AVT03 60 mg or Prolia® 60 mg, administered as a subcutaneous (s.c.) injection on Day 1 and Day 180 (Month 6). At Month 12, subjects in AVT03 treatment group will receive a third dose of AVT03 60 mg administered s.c. while subjects in Prolia® treatment group will be re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Prolia 60 mg or AVT03 60 mg on Day 365 (Month 12), administered as a subcutaneous injection.
Afterwards, the subjects will be followed until the End of Study (EoS) Visit at Month 18 (ie, 6 months after the last dose at Month 12).
32 clinical sites are now participating in this study and total of 532 patients have been randomized.

Experimental: AVT03
AVT03 is the proposed biosimilar for Prolia. Subjects in this arm will receive AVT03 60mg administered s.c. on Day 1 and Day 180/Month 6. At Month 12, subjects in the AVT03 arm will receive a third dose of AVT03 60 mg

Biological: denosumab
AVT03 (denosumab) is a recombinant fully human IgG2 monoclonal antibody to RANKL developed as a subcutaneous injection.
Other Name: Prolia |
Active Comparator: Prolia
Subjects will receive 60mg of commercially available Prolia, administered s.c. on Day 1 and Day 180/Month 6. At Month 12, subjects in the Prolia treatment group will be re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either:
