  • Thirty days or less since receiving an investigational product (other than denosumab) or device (ie, does not have marketing authorization; thalidomide use is allowed) in another clinical study
  • Known sensitivity to any of the products to be administered during the study (eg, mammalian derived products)
  • Female subject is pregnant or breast feeding, or planning to become pregnant within 7 months after the end of treatment
  • Female subject of childbearing potential is not willing to use 2 highly effective methods of contraception during treatment and for 7 months after the end of treatment

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

denosumab

Arm Description

Eligible subjects will receive denosumab at a dose of 120 mg subcutaneously (SC) every 4 weeks (Q4W) with a loading dose of 120 mg SC on study days 8 and 15.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants With a Response Within 10 Days of First Dose of Denosumab
Response is defined as corrected serum calcium (CSC) ≤ 11.5 mg/dL, within 10 days after the first dose of denosumab. For all CSC values, if albumin was < 4 g/dL, the following formula was used to calculate CSC: CSC = Total serum calcium [mg/dL] + (0.8 x (4 - serum albumin [g/dL]))

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants With a Response by Visit
Response is defined as corrected serum calcium (CSC) ≤ 11.5 mg/dL, within 10 days after the first dose of denosumab. For all CSC values, if albumin was < 4 g/dL, the following formula was used to calculate CSC: CSC = Total serum calcium [mg/dL] + (0.8 x (4 - serum albumin [g/dL]))
Percentage of Participants With a Complete Response by Visit
Response is defined as corrected serum calcium (CSC) ≤ 10.8 mg/dL (2.7 mmol/L). For all CSC values, if albumin was < 4 g/dL, the following formula was used to calculate CSC: CSC = Total serum calcium [mg/dL] + (0.8 x (4 - serum albumin [g/dL])).
Time to Response
Time to Response was defined as the time period from study Day 1 to the first time post-baseline corrected serum calcium (CSC) ≤ 11.5 mg/dL. Participants were censored on the last CSC assessment day if no response was observed. If there was no post-baseline CSC assessment, time to response was censored on study Day 1. Time to response was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methods.
Time to Complete Response
Time to complete response was defined as the time period from study Day 1 to the first time post-baseline corrected serum calcium (CSC) was ≤ 10.8 mg/dL (2.7 mmol/L). Participants were censored on the last CSC assessment day if no complete response was observed. If there was no post-baseline CSC assessment, time to complete response was censored on study Day 1. Time to complete response was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methods.
Duration of Response
Duration of response is defined as the number of days from the first day of corrected serum calcium ≤ 11.5 mg/dL (2.9 millimoles/L) to the last day of corrected serum calcium ≤ 11.5 mg/dL. Participants were censored on the last CSC assessment day if their CSC level never reached > 11.5 mg/dL after the first response. If a participant had no CSC assessment after the first response, duration of response was set to zero and censored. Duration of response was summarized for participants who achieved a response using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Duration of Complete Response
Duration of complete response is defined as the number of days from the first day of of corrected serum calcium ≤ 10.8 mg/dL (2.7 millimoles/L) to the last day of corrected serum calcium ≤ 10.8 mg/dL. Participants were censored on the last CSC assessment day if their CSC level never reached > 10.8 mg/dL after the complete response. If a participant had no CSC assessment after the complete response, duration of complete response was set to zero and censored. Duration of complete response was summarized for participants who achieved a complete response using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Time to Relapse/Nonresponse of Hypercalcemia of Malignancy
Time to relapse/nonresponse was defined as the number of days from study Day 1 until the last day of CSC ≤ 11.5 mg/dL for all particiipants with relapse after the first response. Participants were censored on the last CSC assessment day if their CSC level never reached > 11.5 mg/dL after first response. For participants who never achieved response, time to relapse/nonresponse was set to zero. Otherwise, if there was no post-baseline CSC assessment, time to relapse/nonresponse was censored on study Day 1. Time to relapse/nonresponse was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
