The Lens Opacities Classification System III (LOCS III) is a slit lamp based opacification grading method. Photographs of slit lamp cross-sections of the lens are used as references for grading nuclear opalescence (NO) and nuclear color (NC), and photographs of the lens seen by retroillumination are used as references for grading cortical (C) and posterior subcapsular (P) cataract. Opacification severity is graded on a decimal scale, scores can range from 0.1 to 6.9 for NO and NC and from 0.1 to 5.9 for C and P. For each opacification type the higher grading scores indicate greater severity. Lens opacification event development or progression by month 12 was based on a change of ≥ 1.0 in P, ≥ 1.0 in C, or ≥ 0.7 in NO in the LOCS III score from baseline.

The lens opacification analysis set includes randomized participants who received ≥1 dose of study drug, had an evaluable baseline and at least 1 evaluable post-baseline LOCS III assessment at the corresponding lens site. Three participants randomized to placebo who received ≥ 1 dose of denosumab in error are analyzed in the denosumab group.

Lens opacification event development or progression by month 6 was based on a change of ≥ 1.0 in P, ≥ 1.0 in C, or ≥ 0.7 in NO in the LOCS III score from baseline.

Lens opacification analysis set includes randomized participants who received ≥1 dose of study drug, had an evaluable baseline and at least 1 evaluable post-baseline LOCS III assessment at the corresponding lens site at or before month 6. Three participants randomized to placebo who received denosumab in error are analyzed in the denosumab group.

Lens opacification event development or progression by month 12 was based on a change of ≥ 1.0 in P, ≥ 1.0 in C, or ≥ 0.7 in NO in the LOCS III score from baseline. A confirmed lens opacification event development or progression was defined as 2 directly subsequent events per protocol assessments at the same location (P, C, NO) using LOCS III as above.

Lens opacification analysis set with at least two post-baseline LOCS III measurements by month 12.

Three participants randomized to placebo who received at least 1 dose of denosumab in error are analyzed in the denosumab group.

The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) is the best vision one can achieve with correction (such as eye glasses) as measured on an eye chart. BCVA was assessed by a trained ophthalmologist using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) eye chart at 4 meters. The modified University of Crete ETDRS chart was used in Ukraine, Greece, Russia and Bulgaria, which do not use the Roman alphabet. The 2000 series revised ETDRS chart was used to assess the change in all other countries.

The letter score was calculated based on the number of letters that were correctly identified; higher letter scores correspond to better visual acuity.

Lens opacification analysis set with evaluable assessments at both baseline and the time point of interest in the same eye (as indicated by "n"). Three participants randomized to placebo who received at least 1 dose of denosumab in error are analyzed in the denosumab group.

Refraction error was measured using a phoropter. The change from baseline in spherical refraction error needed to achieve BCVA is reported.

Lens opacification analysis set with evaluable assessments at both baseline and each time point in the same eye.

n=the number of evaluable eyes in the lens opacification analysis set at the corresponding time point; 3 participants randomized to placebo who received denosumab in error are analyzed in the denosumab group.

Adverse events (AEs) were assessed for severity by the investigator according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) severity grading scale, version 3.0, where Grade 1 = Mild AE, Grade 2 = Moderate AE, Grade 3 = Severe AE, Grade 4 =Life-threatening AE and Grade 5 = Death due to AE.

Treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) include only events for which the investigator indicated there was a reasonable possibility they may have been caused by the study drug.

All enrolled participants who received at least one dose of study drug. Three participants randomized to the placebo group who received at least 1 dose of denosumab in error are analyzed in the denosumab group for safety.
