A Phase II Multicenter, Single Arm, Open-Label Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Denosumab in Treatment of Post-Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Bone Loss
This Phase II trial studies the side effects of denosumab and to see how well it works in treating patients with bone loss who have received a donor stem cell transplant. Patients receiving a donor stem cell transplant may experience accelerated bone loss and an increase risk of bone fractures, leading to a decrease in satisfaction and quality of life. A type of immunotherapy drug called denosumab binds to a protein called RANKL, which may help keep bone from breaking down.
• The patient has undergone an Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant
• The patient has completed a base line dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan =< 6 months prior to transplantation
• The patient has completed a post-transplant DXA scan at day 100 (+/- 30 days) or up to 6 months post transplantation
• The patient has completed and passed a dental clearance exam up to 6 months prior to transplant or 6 months after transplant
