  • High risk of ONJ or hypocalcemia:

    • Inadequate Serum calcium or albumin-adjusted serum calcium < 2.0 mmol/L (8.0 mg/dL) or > 2.9 mmol/L (11.5 mg/dL).
    • Prior history or current evidence of osteonecrosis of the jaw
  • Active dental or jaw condition which requires oral surgery, including tooth extraction. Planned invasive dental procedures.
  • Subject has known sensitivity to any of the products to be administered during the study (e.g., mammalian derived products, calcium, or vitamin D).
  • Subject is pregnant or breast feeding or planning to become pregnant / breastfeed while on study through 6 months after the end of treatment.
  • Subject is of child bearing potential and is not willing to use, in combination with her partner, two highly effective methods of contraception or abstinence during treatment and for 5 months after the end oftreatment.
  • Patients have prior history or current evidence of osteonecrosis or osteomyelitis of the jaw.
  • Patients have active dental or jaw condition which requires oral surgery, including tooth extraction.
  • Patients have non-healed dental or oral surgery, including tooth extraction.
  • Patients with planned invasive dental procedures for the course of the study.
  • Ongoing treatment with denosumab or bisphosphonates

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a biomarker study designed to test the preclinically generated hypothesis of anti-tumoral activity of denosumab in patients with early breast cancer candidates a tumour excision
Detailed Description
This is a biomarker study designed to test in patients the preclinically generated hypothesis of anti-tumoral activity of denosumab.The main objective is to demonstrate the antiproliferative and/or pro-apoptotic activity of denosumab in early breast cancer. Other endpoints are to correlate denosumab activity with RANK and RANKL expressions through mRNA and protein; to characterize the differential antiproliferative activity of denosumab between different phenotypes of breast cancer; to identify biomarkers, to identify global changes in gene expression and validate the activity of RANKL antibody in clinical samples. A total of 60 patients with early breast cancer (Stages I and II) candidates to tumor excision as first therapeutic approach will be randomized 2:1, a treatment arm that will receive two doses of denosumab following diagnosis, and a control arm that will not receive treatment. At least 24 patients with hormone receptor negative breast cancer and 24 premenopausal patients will be included in the study.
