Study Summary

This trial is a single-center, open-label study of the effects of denosumab on bone turnover in people with fibrous dysplasia.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with confirmed fibrous dysplasia and chronic bone pain, who have reached skeletal maturity. They must not have used denosumab or bisphosphonates in the past year, be willing to take supplements, use two forms of contraception if applicable, and cannot be pregnant or planning pregnancy within five months post-study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests Denosumab's effects on bone turnover in fibrous dysplasia patients. It involves monthly doses for six months followed by an eight-month observation period. The study measures changes in bone markers, lesion intensity via PET/CT scans, and FD-related pain levels.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Denosumab may cause low calcium levels, skin rash or eczema, infections due to weakened immune system response (like sinusitis), potential harm to jaw bones (osteonecrosis), muscle pain or spasms.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is there a possibility for new participants to join this experimental research?

"Unfortunately, this research study is no longer actively searching for participants. It was initially posted in June 2019 and most recently updated on February 2022. There are currently 361 trials recruiting patients with bone diseases and 48 studies utilising Denosumab that remain open to enrolment."

Answered by AI

To what extent is Denosumab a safe treatment option for individuals?

"The safety of Denosumab was judged to be a 2 on the scale from 1-3 due to Phase 2 trial results which suggest some security, yet no evidence for efficacy."

Answered by AI

In what clinical situations is Denosumab usually prescribed?

"Denosumab is efficacious in treating bone-related conditions such as skeletally mature individuals and those with an imbalance of androgens."

Answered by AI

How many participants are taking part in this clinical probe?

"At present, this medical trial is not in the process of recruiting participants. The study was launched on June 13th 2019 and underwent its last edit on February 17th 2022. For those looking for studies related to bone diseases or Denosumab, 361 and 48 clinical trials are actively enrolling patients respectively."

Answered by AI

Are there any other scientific investigations that have been carried out concerning Denosumab?

"Presently, there are 48 live trials researching Denosumab; 12 of these studies being at the Phase 3 stage. While most investigations into Denosumab take place in Nedlands, Western Australia, a total of 488 trial sites exist for this medication."
