Summary
This study tested whether a drug called denosumab can improve bone density in adults with osteoporosis caused by systemic mastocytosis, a rare disease where too many mast cells weaken bones. Twenty-four participants received either denosumab or a placebo every 6 months for 3 years. The main goal was to measure changes in spine bone density using X-rays.
