Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Postmenopausal women aged 50–85 with a lumbar or total hip BMD T-score ≤ -2.5 and > -4.0 who have at least one additional fracture risk factor (for example prior fragility fracture, family history of hip fracture, low BMI, older age, smoking, or elevated bone turnover).
✕Probably not a fit
People who are not postmenopausal women, have BMD outside the specified range, have contraindications to denosumab-like therapies, or have excluded metabolic bone disorders are unlikely to benefit from participating.

What this trial studies
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind Phase 3 trial comparing the investigational product QL1206 with Prolia® (denosumab) in postmenopausal women aged 50–85 who have osteoporosis and are at high risk for fracture. Eligible participants have a lumbar or total hip BMD T-score ≤ -2.5 and > -4.0 and must have at least one additional fracture risk factor. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either QL1206 or Prolia® and followed for clinical safety and bone outcomes including changes in bone mineral density and adverse events. The goal is to determine if QL1206 provides comparable efficacy and safety to the established denosumab treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, QL1206 could provide a treatment option comparable to Prolia® for reducing fracture risk in high-risk postmenopausal women, potentially increasing access or choice.
How similar studies have gone: Denosumab (Prolia®) is an established treatment that reduces fracture risk, and prior biosimilar-comparison trials for biologics have aimed to show similar efficacy and safety, though biosimilar denosumab data are relatively recent.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects who agree to participate in the study and sign the informed consent form. * Postmenopausal women who can walk freely, aged 50-85 years (including 50 and 85 years old). * Subjects whose absolute value of bone mineral density (BMD) in the lumbar or total hip area meets T values ≤ -2.5 and \> -4.0. * Subjects who must have at least one of the following risk factors: History of previous fragility fractures (occurring after the age of 40); history of hip fractures in fathers or mothers; increased bone turnover rate during screening; low body weight (BMI ≤ 19 kg/m2); advanced age (aged ≥ 65 years); current smoke. * The duration of spontaneous amenorrhea was \>2 years or \>2 years after bilateral oophorectomy. If the status of bilateral oophorectomy is unknown or if the ovaries are preserved after hysterectomy, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels \>40mIU/mL may be used to confirm the status of postoperative menopause. Exclusion Criteria: * Bone/metabolic disease. * Hyperparathyroidism or hypoparathyroidism. * Thyroid condition: Hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. * Rheumatoid arthritis. * Malabsorption syndrome. * Renal disease - severe impairment of kidney function. * Vitamin D defViciency (25-hydroxyvitamin D, 25OHD \<20 ng/mL). * Oral or dental diseases: previous or current evidence of mandibular osteomyelitis or osteonecrosis; Acute dental or mandibular disease requiring oral surgery; Planning invasive dental surgery; Failure to recover from dental or oral surgery. * Previously used denosumab drugs. * Use of intravenous bisphosphonates, fluoride, or strontium to treat osteoporosis within the last 5 years. * OOral bisphosphonates (used for at least 3 years, or used for less than 3 years but more than 3 months, with the last use occurring \<1 year before the ICF). * Use of any of the following drugs within 6 weeks prior to screening that may affect bone metabolism. * History of more than two vertebral fractures. * Malignant tumors.
