The present phase II/III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group comparative study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of once-monthly oral administration of NE-58095 delayed release (DR) tablets for 12 months in participants with involutional osteoporosis. For this study, participants receiving oral NE-58095 immediate release (IR) 2.5 mg tablets once daily for 12 months are set as the control group.
The primary objective of the present study is to verify the non-inferiority of once-monthly oral administration of NE-58095 DR tablets for 12 months to once-daily oral administration of NE-58095 IR 2.5 mg tablets for 12 months, in terms of efficacy in participants with involutional osteoporosis. Secondary objectives of the present study are as follows: to compare the safety of once-monthly oral administration of NE-58095 DR tablets for 12 months with the safety of once-daily oral administration of NE-58095 IR tablets (at 2.5 mg) for 12 months in participants with involutional osteoporosis at time of wakening.

Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Lumbar Spine (L2-L4) Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Measured by Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) at End of Study
The change in BMD in the second to the fourth lumbar vertebrae, L2 to L4, and the averages of L2 to L4 at end of study relative to baseline. DXA is a means of measuring BMD through x-ray.
Time frame: Baseline and End of Study (up to Month 12)
Percent Change From Baseline in Mean Lumbar Spine (L2-L4) BMD Measured by DXA at Each Visit
The change in BMD in each vertebra, L2 to L4, and the averages of L2 to L4 at each visit relative to baseline. DXA is a means of measuring BMD through x-ray.
Time frame: Baseline and Month 6, Month 12, and End of Study (Last observation carried forward at Month 12)
Percent Change From Baseline in Femur (Total Proximal Femur) BMD Measured by DXA at Each Visit
The change in BMD in the total proximal femur (whole bone, trochanteric region, and neck region) at each visit relative to baseline. DXA is a means of measuring BMD through x-ray.
Time frame: Baseline and Month 6, Month 12, and End of Study (Last observation carried forward at Month 12)
Percent Change From Baseline in Femur (Trochanter) BMD Measured by DXA at Each Visit
The change in BMD in the femur (trochanter) at each visit relative to baseline. DXA is a means of measuring BMD through x-ray.
Time frame: Baseline and Month 6, Month 12, and End of Study (Last observation carried forward at Month 12)
Percent Change From Baseline in Femur (Femoral Neck) BMD Measured by DXA at Each Visit
The change in BMD in the femur (femoral neck) at each visit relative to baseline. DXA is a means of measuring BMD through x-ray.
Time frame: Baseline and Month 6, Month 12, and End of Study (Last observation carried forward at Month 12)

Percent Change From Baseline in Bone Turnover Marker Serum Creatinine (CTX) at Each Visit
Blood samples for serum bone turnover markers were collected at specified visits according to the study schedule. Blood samples were to be collected at about the same time of the day, as far as possible, throughout the study.
Time frame: Baseline and Months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 and End of Study (Last observation carried forward at Month 12)
Percent Change From Baseline in Bone Turnover Marker Serum Bone-type Alkaline Phosphatase (BAP) at Each Visit
Blood samples for serum bone turnover markers were collected at specified visits according to the study schedule. Blood samples were to be collected at about the same time of the day, as far as possible, throughout the study.
Time frame: Baseline and Months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 and End of Study (Last observation carried forward at Month 12)

Percentage of Participants With New Non-traumatic Vertebral Fractures (Including the Worsening of Pre-existing Fractures)
New non-traumatic vertebral fractures were identified by interpretable X-ray images of 13 vertebrae from the fourth thoracic to the fourth lumbar vertebra. A Central Review Committee member for X-ray determined the presence or absence of new vertebral fractures, the number of new fractures, the presence or absence of worsening pre-existing vertebral fractures, and the number of worsened fractures. The assessment of new vertebral fractures and the worsening of pre-existing vertebral fractures was semiquantitative. The X-ray images were visually inspected and classified into normal (Grade 0), mild deformation (Grade 1), moderate deformation (Grade 2), or severe deformation (Grade 3). If the assessment of any vertebra became worse by at least 1 grade after starting the treatment, its height was measured. A new vertebral fracture or a worsening pre-existing vertebral fracture was concluded if the vertebra's height was reduced from the baseline by at least 20% and by at least 4 mm.
