$FREEDOM trial data reporting fracture incidents for 10 years.$

Data are yearly exposure-adjusted participant incidence of adverse events per 100 participant-years of follow-up for placebo and for Prolia^® in the combined FREEDOM, long-term, and crossover participants who experienced ≥1 adverse event. Placebo data are for all participants who received at least one dose of placebo during the FREEDOM trial. Prolia^® data are for all participants who received at least one dose of Prolia^® during the FREEDEOM trial or extension. Data are shown for each year of exposure; therefore, a long-term participant could have up to 10 years of exposure and a crossover participant could have up to 7 years of exposure to Prolia^®. All adverse events and serious events were coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities version 13.0.¹

The benefit/risk profile of Prolia^® remains favorable in an ageing population of postmenopausal women, as well as in patients with non-metastatic breast or prostate cancer receiving hormone ablation therapy.^1–3
