• Prior or concurrent treatment with Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (eg, tamoxifen);
• Evidence of metastatic disease;
• Current or prior IV bisphosphonate administration;
• Oral bisphosphonate treatment greater than or equal to 3 years continuously OR greater than 3 months but less than 3 years unless there was a washout period of at least 1 year prior to randomization OR any use during the 3-month period prior to randomization;
• Prior administration of denosumab;
• Known liver or renal deficiency;
• Recurrence of the primary malignancy (eg, during the allowed interval of pretreatment with aromatase inhibitor);
