Bone drug tested for myeloma patients too sick for standard care

NCT ID NCT02833610

Summary

This study tested whether the drug denosumab is safe and effective for protecting bones in people with multiple myeloma who also have severe kidney damage. It involved 55 participants who could not take standard bone-protecting drugs due to their kidney condition. Researchers measured changes in bone health markers and side effects over time to see if this approved cancer drug could help this specific group.
