BRCA-P Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether denosumab can prevent breast cancer in women with a BRCA1 gene mutation, which is linked to a higher risk of developing the disease.

Who is the study for?
Women aged 25-55 with a BRCA1 gene mutation, no breast or ovarian cancer, and not planning preventive breast surgery can join. They must have normal recent breast exams, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, agree to use contraception, and have good physical health.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if Denosumab can prevent breast cancer in women with the BRCA1 mutation compared to a placebo. It's a phase III study where participants are randomly given either Denosumab or an inactive substance while their quality of life is monitored.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Denosumab may cause issues like jaw bone problems (osteonecrosis), low calcium levels in the blood (hypocalcemia), infection risks, and possibly interfere with healing after dental procedures.
