Romosozumab to Promote Bone Formation in Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer to Bones and Osteoporosis, REMOLD-Breast Trial

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests the effectiveness of romosozumab for improving bone formation in patients with breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to the bone (metastatic) and osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition that involves loss of bone density and mass, which causes the bones to become fragile. Breast cancer frequently spreads to the bones and many people with metastatic breast cancer develop osteoporosis which increases their risk for bone fractures. Romosozumab is a monoclonal antibody that blocks a protein in the body called sclerostin, which decreases bone formation. This may help increase bone formation as well as decrease bone breakdown (resorption) in people with osteoporosis. Giving romosozumab may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in improving bone formation in patients with metastatic breast cancer to the bones with osteoporosis.
