New hope for stubborn bone pain when standard drugs fail
NCT ID NCT01791842
Summary
This study tested whether the drug tocilizumab could help reduce bone pain and damage in people with fibrous dysplasia who still had pain after standard treatment. Researchers enrolled 19 patients who had already tried bisphosphonate drugs without enough relief. They compared tocilizumab against a placebo to see if blocking a specific protein (IL-6) in the body could slow bone breakdown and ease pain.
